Growing In Wisdom: Even 12 Year Old Jesus Needed To Learn

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Jan 6, 2025

By looking at the story of 12 year old Jesus wandering away from Mary and Joseph to go to the Jerusalem Temple, this sermon’s ultimate goal is to highlight that Jesus is fully Man as well as fully God, thus He needed to "grow in wisdom" just like the rest of us.

Because today marks the Christian feast of Epiphany—the day in which the Three Kings (the Magi) finally arrived in Bethlehem to adore the newly born Christ Child—this also means that today marks the official end to the liturgical season of Christmas! ?Now for some of us here, this might be a sad ...read more

The Priorities Of Jesus And His Family Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jan 7, 2025

This passage seems to reveal how Mary, Joseph and Jesus prioritized God’s things in their routines, regards (or affections), and relationships.

Today, as we continue our study in the book of Luke, we come to a rather peculiar passage that provides a rare glimpse into Jesus’ childhood. The other gospels vary in how much they share about Jesus before his public ministry begins. Matthew devotes about 48 verses to Jesus’ early years (some of ...read more

No One Can Stand Against Us

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 16, 2025

God was with Joshua just as He was with Moses. God blessed Joshua and made him a great leader because of the qualities God saw and approved in him. If we live the way Joshua did and God is for us, no one can stand against us too all the days of our lives.

For our meditation today we will look at Joshua 1:5, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” (ESV) These are the words of God to Joshua. The Lord told Joshua that no one would be ...read more

The Treasury Of The Heart Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 10, 2025

The birth of Christ the Lord was so momentous that Mary would treasure up all that occurred throughout the remainder of her days.

“Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. “And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he ...read more

A Boyhood Of Jesus

Contributed by Jaeyoun Chang on Dec 26, 2025

Luke is the only one who records Jesus' childhood. Since the main recipients of the Gospel of Luke were Greeks

Introduction Except for the Gospel of Luke, the other gospels record Jesus from when he became an adult. Of course, the Gospel of Matthew records the circumstances when Jesus was born, Magi from the East who came and worshiped Jesus, and the story of Jesus' escape to Egypt, but it does not ...read more
