     | 8,400 views

    When we look at Mary and the birth of Jesus we see a struggle of being pregnant and no one believing her. Why did the angel only tell her? Wouldn't a family meeting with all the parties be more appropriate? We will see that God's gifts have thorns!

    The Holy Spirit is a helper in all ways

    Often, we Christians associate the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, but beyond that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who was there at creation, moving over the face of the deep to bring about form (Gen. 1:1-2, 26-27).

    Christmas is often a time when people struggle feeling that they don't have enough, or can't provide enough. It often steals away the joy of Christmas. Mary could have felt that she did not have enough; yet her song proves-- Jesus was enough.

    One of the top 10 Christmas songs of all time- it actually is ranked #7- is the song: “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The song goes like this: “Don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need, I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree, I just ...read more

    The birth announcement of Jesus was exciting and challenging all at the same time. Immediately she experienced "aloneness." Her fiancé wanted to put her away privately. Her future kids would not initially believe her story. What do we learn from Mary's "aloneness?"

    This year is the 33rd anniversary of the “Home Alone” movie where a young boy named Kevin McAlister was accidently left behind and alone in his home during the holidays while his family causing young Kevin to have to set up bungling traps for “to be” burglars- “Harry and Marv.” The last 33 years ...read more

Isaiah forecast a messenger who would make a way for the Messiah. Isaiah 40:1-5 & 9-11 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak ...read more

    Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? (Luke 2:8-16) God chose to tell His good news to the lowly.
