    The Questions Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 19, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,506 views

    Christmas brought three questions which every person needed to deal with as they encountered the Christ child. Christmas isn’t so much about what God has done for us as it is about our response to the Christ child and to these questions.

    The Questions of Christmas Luke 2:8-20 It’s tough to miss Christmas if you live in America today. We hear the ads on the radio and TV, see the lighted houses and buildings, the decorated yards in our neighborhoods, and the displays inside every store remind us Christmas is coming in case we’ve ...read more

     | 4,248 views

    Because God said and took action for us to experience, we are to treasure, ponder, and tell others what God has done and said, and always think highly of God and sing praises to honor Him!

    We continue our study of the Gospel of Luke. Please open your Bibles to Chapter 2 of Luke. Last week we noted that through the birth of Jesus Christ: God’s plan happens at the right time and place! God shares His plans! God will use circumstances for His divine and glorious plan! God will do the ...read more

    Christmas is a time for full hearts: weary, guilty, anxious, sad -- past, present, and future. Mary felt the same things, but Christ comes to forgive our past, empower our present, and assure our future.

    Christmas is an emotional time. All kinds of feelings are involved with the celebration of Christmas. If you don’t feel some tension, some excitement, or some pressure, something at this time of the year, you are either dead or you’ve been watching the Redskins, which is about the same thing. ...read more

     | 3,350 views

    A Christmas sermon that looks at the meaning of Christmas and the deeper implication of the holiday by seeing how we can learn from the child, learn as a child, and witness about the child.

    (Portions of this sermon are based on the sermon by Deffner, Donald L., “Christmas as a Little Child,” Sermons for Church Year Festivals, CPH, St. Louis, 1997, pg. 36- 40.) Introduction In the book Mrs. Miniver, the author, Jan Struther, described her family’s Christmas. She ...read more

    Christianity is sometimes dismissed because the package isn't attractive enough. That was the problem with the first Christmas as well.

    I have a problem with Christmas. Not with the idea of celebrating Jesus’ birth of course. Nor with the idea of giving gifts to our loved ones. That’s good because it helps us remember that God gave us the greatest gift of all. It’s not even the temptation to eat more than I really ...read more

    God is still a "A Way Maker", He still a "Make Away" and He's still the Way, the Truth and the Light, to all things!

    “A Way In A Manger” Luke 2:8-20 Intro. This month more than a billion people will celebrate Christmas. Amid candlelight, carols and the smells of cedar and incense, the old story will unfold again: Gabriel’s visitations, the journey to Bethlehem, the arrival of the baby in a ...read more

    There are four distinct groups found in the nativity story and each group represent a different truth about the birth of God's Son

    VOICES IN THE NIGHT INTRODUCTION: It seems appropriate to me that in a world where Christmas has become more and more commercialized that the eve of the birth of our savior will fall on a Sunday this year. In the midst of ALL the hustle and bustle of preparations for the many celebrations that ...read more

    In the classic Peanuts Christmas cartoon Charlie Brown asks what Christmas is really about. Linus comes out on stage and gives the perfect answer. This message is about the true meaning of Christmas and having our own "Linus Moment."

    Christmas sermon: A Linus Moment In the classic Peanuts Christmas cartoon Charlie Brown asks the exasperated question- What is Christmas all about?

    A critical mind will certainly seek evidence about the nativity story i.e. if it is fictional or true to life event. Fortunately, historical event base on Rome’s history supported the nativity as a non-fiction.

    The Birth of Christ According to the Gospel Accounts Matthew and Luke The Birth of Christ in the Account of Luke Luke 2:1-20 I. The possible anachronism? 2:1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that ...read more
