    1st of four in a Christmas Series. It began in the fields with the sheep. Their quiet and earthy world was interrupted by a chorus of angels who led them to the place where the Christ child was born. Once this journey is made nothing is the same again

    Luke 2:8-20 That night, some shepherds were in the fields nearby watching their sheep. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them. The glory of the Lord was shining around them, and they became very frightened. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I am bringing you good news that will be a ...read more

Of the six prominent lead stories on the front page of the paper, five will have the following words: "TRIAL....DANGEROUS...FRAUD...MURDER....DOWNTURN!"

    Fascinating and rarely heard insights to the details of that first Christmas provoke a spirit of true worship.

    BULLETIN INSERT NOTES: The Date of Christ’s Birth By Ed Vasicek In 525 A.D., Dionysius, a Scythian monk, was asked to determine the year of Jesus’ birth. He did the best job he could. He determined that the Roman year 754 was the Christian year “1 A.D.” Although Dionysius’ effort is to be ...read more

    A look at where we get the "Christmas Story," giving specific Bible references.

    If a non-Christian were to approach you and say, “Which gospel contains the entire Christmas Story?” Would you be able to tell them? We get most of our information about the birth of Jesus from two gospels, Matthew and Luke. And neither gives us all the details of the familiar birth of Christ. ...read more

    Through the visitation of the shepherds and magi we see that Christ was indeed good news of great joy for all people.

    The Christmas story is so familiar to us that we tend to view it through rose colored glasses. We tend to sanitize the scene to make it seem beautiful, pristine. Our nativities represent a postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It is ...read more
