    Jerusalem Alone Series

    The story of a 12 year-old boy left behind in Jerusalem by his parents? Sound familiar? Almost sounds like a Christmas classic movie! Not exactly. This is the story of the Son of God, knowing who he was and why he was here.

    As I read through the account from Luke 2 which you heard this morning of how Jesus was left behind by his parents in Jerusalem, I couldn’t help but think of what has become classic Christmas movie, “Home Alone.” If you’re not familiar with the movie, it’s about a boy around the age of 10-12 ...read more

    Intentional Pursuit Series

    The topic for this message is all about seeking God. The Magi, the shepherds and Simeon and Anna are used as examples of the different ways people found God. While certainly it fits during the Christmas season it could be preached anytime during the year.

    INTRODUCTION: (“Seek” Video from sermonspice.com = 1:45) You know, again and again in scripture we find that God reveals himself to those who seek after Him. In fact, God seems to say that there is joy and pleasure in the search for Him. Psalm 70:4: “May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in ...read more

    Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

    TWO YOUNG PIGEONS: Jesus’ family gave the poor offering. - Luke 2:24. - Leviticus 12:8. - Unless you know the Old Testament background, the mention of dove/pigeon offering is one that we would pass right over. We have no frame of reference on what it means. - When we look back in Leviticus, ...read more
