Gifts For The Lord

Contributed by Robert Dovenmuehle on Dec 25, 2012

The magi brought extravagant gifts for the baby Jesus even though they could not know what this child would do. We know that Jesus the Christ is God and saves us from our sin. What gifts do we bring to our Lord?

Today we observe Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, with the visitation of the magi to the baby Jesus. The visit of the magi is probably the most misunderstood part of the Christmas story. The magi are often depicted in nativity scenes as if they arrived for the birth of Jesus, ...read more

Complete Obedience Matthew 2

Contributed by Ken Henson on Dec 19, 2013

When the Child of Bethlehem is born in us, the Spirit of Obedience takes up residence in our hearts. The greatest way for us to proclaim the Truth of that child is to live a life of abject obedience to God.

One Christmas Eve, A father made all his 5 children sit in a circle and placed a toy in the middle. He told them that the most obedient kid will get this toy as an EXTRA Christmas gift this year. The youngest child asked, “what is obedience?”, the father replied the one who listens to ...read more

Going Home A Different Way

The Lowly King Of Kings Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more

Christmas In The Rearview Mirror?

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 28, 2022

Once Christmas is over, we usually pack up our decorations, lights, ribbon, dishes, Christmas tree, etc., and carry them to the attic for storage until next year. In other words, we put Christmas away. This isn't God's will; we should live it all year round!
