    Christmas is meant to be joy time, and in the stories of Christmas from the Biblical to the secular there is a theme of joy amidst surprises that runs through them.

    Finding Joy Amidst Life’s Surprises Luke 1:39-55 (New International Version) 39At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and ...read more

     | 3,730 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.

    Second Sunday in Advent, Luke 1:26-45 Comparison shopping is a fairly standard technique for shoppers these days. The internet has made it really easy to do.

    God's 20/20 Foresight

    Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 28, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,016 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

    Can we be walking with the Lord, be strong in some areas and horribly weak in others, or does spiritual maturity mean we have grown evenly?Let’s contrast the responses of Zechariah the priest and Mary and then return to this question.

    Zechariah and Mary, and Spiritual Shock (Luke 1) Here is a bulletin insert I wrote to add to the sermon, which follows: Zechariah the Priest and Father of John the Baptist The Christmas narrative really begins by setting the stage for Jesus’ coming through explaining how his forerunner, John the ...read more

    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
