    Elizabeth was able to see Mary’s situation through the eyes of faith, because she had experienced God’s power herself

    Are you ready for Christmas yet? Two weeks from tomorrow. Maybe the reason that it’s so hard for us to get ready for Christmas is because we have to do it every year. If you only had one Christmas to get ready for in your whole life, would you be ready? Well, it would certainly give you more time, ...read more

    The joy of Christmas is found in the baby Jesus. He is the only source that can produce lasting joy in our lives. Joy is therefore a choice and it centers on our willingness to choose to surrender ourselves to Jesus or not. This is the great gift exchange

    The creed says Jesus was conceived by the Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Is it really necessary to believe in the virgin birth?

    In the TV show thirtysomething Hope, a Christian, argues with her Jewish husband, Michael, about the holidays. Michael exploded…. “Do you really believe an angel appeared to some teenage girl who then got pregnant without ever having sex and traveled on horseback to Bethlehem where she spent the ...read more

     | 3,876 views

    Focusing on the relative obscurity of Mary and Elizabeth in their historical contexts, this sermon encourages Christians who are "out in the boondocks" in any sense to take courage that God is pleased to do His work through them.

    God's 20/20 Foresight

    Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 28, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,167 views

    Using the Bible’s foreviews of the careers of John the Baptist and the Prophet Jeremiah, this sermon encourages believers to persevere in the expectation that God has just as clearly foreseen their conformity to the image of Christ.

    Third Sunday in Advent Jeremiah 1:4-19, Luke 1:26-45 “God’s 20/20 Foresight” We have all heard the proverb that says, “Hindsight is always 20-20.” I don’t know of another proverb that says anything similarly pithy and witty about foresight. An obvious reason, I suppose, is that foresight ...read more

    Luke presents Jesus as a man, yet with a miraculous birth. Chapter 1 brings us a transition from Old to New Covenants, and two ways of receiving God’s Word - which way do you respond?

    As many of you know, I worked for many years in the television industry as a reporter. It was a fun job for a while - you got to do things and meet people that you normally wouldn’t.

    The Archangel Gabriel said Mary was selected to become the mother of Jesus because she had “found favor with God.” What was it about Mary that caught the Lord’s attention. What qualities did she possess which “found favor with God?”

    As we continue our study of the Gospel According to Luke, I want to focus our attention on the person of Mary. Of all the women of Judah, she was chosen by God to become the mother of the Messiah, the King and Redeemer of Israel. Gabriel said she was selected because she had “found favor with ...read more

    God’s power is at work whenever the gospel is preached. If he could do the things we read about here in Luke 2, there’s nothing he can’t achieve.

    You may have heard this story before. A chauffeur had been driving a chemistry professor to dozens of speaking engagements. He’d heard the same speech time and time again. Finally he said to the professor as they were driving to the next engagement, "Professor, I reckon I could give your speech ...read more

    The good news of great joy for all people is shocking news that we dare not get used to.

    Humans are complex creatures, aren’t we? Those we love we tend to hurt. We love God and yet we sin against God. We have goals and aspirations that are noble and strong , and yet we get tripped up by our own weakness along the way to fulfilling our goals. We can never seem to outrun the allure of ...read more
