    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,714 views

    The hope of Christmas is not a sentimental hope… it’s filled with sentiments of a child born in a manger… of becoming one with us… of making the world a better place… but we must shake off the sentimental hope to take hold of the substance… the prophe

    Intro It’s especially wonderful to gather together tonight. As a teenager… one of the most significant spiritual senses I had came on Christmas Eve… I can still remember at around 16… driving to a late night candlelight services. I was drawn into the wonder… God incarnate. It’s never left me. ...read more

    Simeon was one who was blessed to see the Christ Child. Both his character and desire produced his reward. If we are to see Christ we need to have these qualities in our lives.

    DO YOU SEE HIM? Introduction: We’ve all heard the slogan: “Jesus the reason for the season.” But while millions see the tinsel and the holiday lights, few see Him for Whom the holiday is held. When Christ was born in Bethlehem, few saw the Messiah though His coming had been prophesied again and ...read more

    It is startling that so few people anticipated the Advent of God’s Messiah. However, few look for His presence today; and few will be anticipating His return.

    LUKE 2:22-38 MESSIAH WAS PRESENTED, BUT FEW WERE PREPARED “When the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, ‘Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the ...read more

    What happens when Christmas doesn’t go according to plan? How do we handle it when circumstances rob us of the joy of the season? How do we respond to a "blue Christmas?"

    OPEN: John Simmons tells about a grade school class that was putting on a Christmas play which included the story of Mary and Joseph coming to the inn.

No welcome party, no diplomats, no hotel, no bed. It seemed nothing and no one was ready for the arrival of ...read more

    A Carpenter's Dream

    Although we know little about Joseph’s life, we know quite a bit about his character from his actions. He demonstrated great faith. We can learn much from living Holy lives by following the example set by Joseph.

    Joseph is too often overlooked in the Christmas story. We must never fail to acknowledge the role he played in the life of Jesus. It wasn't just a coincidence that he was engaged to be married to Mary. He was chosen by God for this special calling...to be the earthly father of Jesus. God in His ...read more
