    A Dream Come True

    Like Simeon we need to realize that if all we had was Jesus Christ, that would be enough; with Jesus, our life is complete and we can be content.

    Children often dream about things they would like to do in the future. I suspect traveling in space as an astronaut, playing football in the NFL, making the Olympic figure skating team, or driving a $100,000 sports car are some of the more popular ones. When I was growing up, I dreamed of being the ...read more

    DON’T DIE TILL YOU’VE SEEN JESUS "It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ" (Luke 2: 26). Simeon was his name. A man with a very common Jewish male name. A man that was not necessarily a young man, however he is not ...read more

    Is your life running so fast that you cannot hear God? His angels appeared to announce the birth of Christ but who was "listening?"

    Are You Listening? The Christmas Season is closing in. We have do lists, shopping lists, and invitations to parties, as well as church and school Christmas presentations. It seems that when we need the most to slow down to appreciate the season, we are too busy to do so. In fact, I sometimes ...read more

    Do You Feel Insignificant? Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,776 views

    Luke 2 teaches us that Jesus purposefully came to those who no one would choose - from a young poor couple to outcast shepherds. Learn also about his ordinary/extraordinary childhood.

    Luke chapter 2 is very unique - it is the only place where we learn in detail what happened at the birth of Christ - again, evidence that Luke may have gotten the story from Mary herself. It is the only place where we see Jesus presented for circumcision at the Temple, and the only gospel that ...read more
