    Simeon and Anna did not live their senior lives without purpose, they dedicated the rest of their lives to praise God and were blessed for it.

    Simeon and Anna were different from the rest of the older people in the place Jesus was circumcised. Their difference made them stand out, if you would have been looking for it. We must praise; it builds all those God uses. I. Eyes Expecting God’s Promise (25-27) A. His faith changed his ...read more

    Failing to make time for God during strange times might cause us to miss His blessings and instead find frustration instead.

They had to make time for God; God had made this a unique time for them. We too might miss God’s help if we’re too busy with the details of life to see ...read more

    No Grinch can take away the true meaning of Christmas, because Jesus was born for us! (uses refernces from Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas).

    Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas has always been a favorite of mine, but this year, it has also made quite a box office splash. In this annual Christmas story, the old Grinch who lives on a mountain has been annoyed by the merriment of the Who-ville townspeople at Christmas. According to ...read more

    Out of all the things that Luke must have heard from Mary, he has chosen only this one incident, perhaps because it reveals so much to us.

    People had been waiting a long time for the Messiah to come. When he comes the voices that are heard are vital to understanding the event

    I think one of the things people these days find hard is having to wait. Delayed gratification is one of those things that have been forgotten in our age of fast food, instant communication and short attention spans.

The first was "Presents." Not that you think of Christmas as being about presents, I’m sure! (How many people ...read more

    No Room At The Inn

    Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

     | 7,837 views

    The inn was to full for Christ to come in. Throughout Scripture we see that there is no room for God. Is there room in your home, your life and your heart for Him?

    Introductory Considerations 1. It is a scene that is unmistakable. This scene is so identified with the birth of our Lord, that is has been banned from display in public places because it might offend those who do not believe it ever happened. 2. Scene is in a stable. Mary and Joseph and a wooden ...read more
