    A Carpenter's Dream

    Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 4, 2014
     | 6,655 views

    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

    Christmas 1 (B). By faith Simeon and Anna saw the fullness of redemption in Christ at His presentation in the temple. Likewise by faith, we see now the fullness of our redemption in Him, even though the future is yet to unfold.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “The other side of Christmas” We have been preparing for weeks. With Advent services and Advent candles, and Lessons and Carols, and ...read more

    "She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four" (Luke 2:36–37). Anna had been married only seven years when she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the rest of her life.

    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,499 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    Christmas 2C. We learn from Jesus as a boy in the temple, that when God cannot be found, it is we who are looking in the wrong places.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Lost and Found” “My, how you have grown!” Those words, or something similar were uttered in households across America last week as families ...read more

    Even as a child, Jesus was fully human, but understand how special His relationship was with God. Today, we have the same opportunities to know God as well, if only we will devote ourselves to His business.

    Introduction - When we were last in the Gospel of Luke, it was a very familiar story • We discussed Advent (the waiting & revealing of the Messiah) • We also rejoiced at the birth of Jesus – God incarnate (Immanuel) - Today we’ll begin a study of Luke; this should take ~ 3 months (to ...read more

    Anna shared about Jesus, bringing hope to the hopeful.

    THE THANKSGIVING AND TESTIMONY OF ANNA. Luke 2:36-40. Anna was a prophetess of great age, who departed not from the temple, and served God with fasting and prayers both night and day. It is interesting that Luke calls her a "prophetess," since we have long been taught that there was no ...read more
