    Joseph is underestimated in his role in the Christmas story – he was especially chosen by God, had many internal battles to fight to obey God, had a unique relationship with God, and played a formative role in the development of the personality of the Son of God.

    THE MAN BEHIND THE MANGER Matt. 1:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FAXING MONEY 1. Often people resist trying new technology. One young woman tried to get her mother, a secretary, to start using the fax machine in her office instead of using the post office. 2. Although she told her many times ...read more

    God tells us that Joseph was a "just man" because he was "unwilling to put (Mary) to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly." What does that mean? And what does difference can it make to our faith?

    OPEN: (We began the service with a clip from the movie "The Star" that showed Mary and Joseph at their wedding party just before Mary is going to tell Joseph that she's pregnant with the Christ Child) There’s a true story about a grade school class that was putting on a Christmas which included ...read more

    This message looks a the words of the Angel to Joseph, and what happened because Joseph obeyed.

    I was talking to a lady the other day about some Kids reaction to Santa. Not the Santa who’s going to come down the chimney on Christmas Eve to leave gifts, but the shopping mall Santas. It seems a passage of rite that we take our kids to the Mall to have their pictures taken with Jolly Old ...read more

    Christmas sermon on Mary’s song

    "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." Let’s join Mary today in rejoicing at the coming of Christ our Saviour.

    Martha and Mary had different kinds of hearts....but Jesus loved them both!

    JOHN 11:1Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. 3So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is ...read more

    Mary, A Believer

    One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree of finality, but we can safely infer that God knew her heart, that she was a young woman of faith, who would agree with God against all odds.

    Gabriel, the deliverer of God’s important news, the heavenly postmaster, said, “Mary, rejoice, because you have found favor with God. God is with you, and you are blessed among women.” One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree ...read more

    God has a timetable for everything that He’s doing and that include the time for Him to answer our request in prayer Him.But Mary got an answer eventhough her request is out of time and out of line.

    A.God is always moved by our faith(Hebrews 11:6). B.God emphasized that we should have faith always.

    How being a ’martha’ can distract you from sitting at the feet of Christ and hearing his voice.

    MARTHA – LUKE 10.38-42 I want you to note right at the beginning of this sermon the context in which Luke records this incident in the home of Martha and Mary. Luke places it immediately after Jesus has taught the parable of the Good Samaritan. I think that is significant because in that parable ...read more
