    We often minimize the importance and impact of Mary, the mother of Jesus, because of fear that honoring and learning from her will lead to idolization, yet we can learn much from this pivotal Biblical figure.

    Mary – Jesus’ First Disciple TCF Sermon December 7, 2008 Mark Lowry, the Christian singer and comedian who wrote the song we just heard, observed that the silence of Jesus’ mother Mary at the cross always amazed him.

    Vital ways God taught us to share Christmas greetings.

    Ever wondered where the idea of Christmas greetings came from? Why do we greet others with “Merry Christmas” and send Christmas cards, letters and emails? The idea comes from God.

     | 3,392 views

    Christmas is about many things, but one strong virtue that Christmas brings to mind is humility.

    Happy Are the Humble (Luke 1:39-56) 1. Sherlock Holmes is quoted as saying, "I am not among those who count humility among the virtues." 2. We tend to think of humility and not dwelling on oneself or comparing oneself to others. Wikipedia adds this insight: "Humility, or being humble, is the ...read more

    Title: An Amazing Christmas Introduction: When we think about Christmas there are a lot of things we can hardly believe, things we kind of place in fantasyland.

    Using Mary response to the angel to demonstrate how faith is both what we believe to be true as well as our actions.

    Last week we looked at keeping the faith in the midst of disappointments and difficult circumstances, when it seems like God is far away.
