    Is your life running so fast that you cannot hear God? His angels appeared to announce the birth of Christ but who was "listening?"

    Are You Listening? The Christmas Season is closing in. We have do lists, shopping lists, and invitations to parties, as well as church and school Christmas presentations. It seems that when we need the most to slow down to appreciate the season, we are too busy to do so. In fact, I sometimes ...read more

    Why is Christmas seemingly under attack? Why would a seemingly harmless story of a baby in a manger stall elicit such anger and opposition?

    OPEN: James Martin (in an article in the devotional "The Upper Room") wrote the following: On a trip to the Holy Land, I bought a nativity set for my Sunday School. It was carved out of olive wood in Bethlehem itself, and had all the traditional figures - sheep and oxen, wise men and shepherds. ...read more

    This sermon explains the hope found in Jesus Christ.

    If I asked you to define Christmas with one word (apart from the words Jesus and Christ), what word would you choose? Would you use peace, love, joy or some other word?

We are often admonished by parents to, “keep the family name,” which is translated, “don’t do anything stupid or illegal.” Some people go through life struggling with the name they were given, like the character in ...read more
