The Journey To Christmas

Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 14, 2015

We are all forced to take journeys in our lives...journeys of inconvenience and discomfort. Sometimes these journeys take us to the place God wants us to be and we never know what or who we may find at the end of each journey.

The Journey to Christmas Luke 2:1-7 (The Message) (About that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the ...read more

Visit Of Homage By Shepherds Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 12, 2017

The shepherds hurried to Bethlehem and when they got there they found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. They must have been one of the first to see the baby. At least, we know they arrived before the wise men, because when the wise....

Mary And Joseph’s Road Trip: “Why does God allow these struggles in my life?” - Luke 2:3-6. - The trip to Bethlehem under such difficult circumstances had to be a struggle. Did they have questions? I know I would have. “God, why are You allowing this?” “God, have You forgotten us?” “God, ...read more

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2017

This message focuses on Luke 2:6-7 and the unanswered questions that Mary and Joseph must have had as they end up in with no decent place to stay when the baby comes. How could God be with them and she have to put the baby in a manger?

SOME OF MARY AND JOSEPH'S QUESTIONS: “God, why have the birth so far from home?” “God, why didn’t You provide a place for us to stay?” “God, how can this be the place for the miracle child to be born?” - Luke 2:6-7. - I’m sure when the angel visited Mary and told her that she’d be carrying this ...read more

Only When Connected To Our Lord Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 4, 2018

In a real sense, St. Paul was the sheep that was lost, and Jesus left the heavens to seek him out and find him and turn him toward the truth.

Thursday of 31st Week in Course At some point in the life of every Catholic theologian, like Saint Paul there comes a time of high clarity. St. Paul’s moment was a time when he realized that all his elevated Jewish theology was just a waste of time. In fact, in the light of Christ’s suffering and ...read more

God's Gifts Have Thorns

Contributed by Arthur Miller on Dec 18, 2017

When we look at Mary and the birth of Jesus we see a struggle of being pregnant and no one believing her. Why did the angel only tell her? Wouldn't a family meeting with all the parties be more appropriate? We will see that God's gifts have thorns!

God’s Gifts Have Thorns Matthew1:18-25 and Luke1:26-56 & 2:1-39 Today is Sunday, December 24, 2017. A day known around the world in many different languages as Christmas Eve.

Announcement Of The Birth Of Jesus To A Virgin Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 6, 2017

An unbeliever can say that he does not believe in the virgin birth, and that is ok. I do not expect them to. But for a believer, especially a preacher, to say that he does not believe in the virgin birth is a disgrace, and I would have to say that he...

Gideon - Part 4 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 29, 2014

So, Gideon's army is gathered but it's too big. How does God whittle it down to size? How does God orchestrate the attack? Who wants equal billing with God in taking credit? Gideon. God deserves all of the glory for all of the great things He does! Amen?

Well, we’ve finally come to Judges 7 where we get to take a look at the great deliverance of the Lord for Israel over the Midianites, the Amalekites and the people of the east. OK, so today, we’re just going to go over a brief recap of the battle with the horde which had gathered in ...read more

A Carpenter's Dream

Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 4, 2014

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

What's In Your Master Suite?

Contributed by Jeffrey Payne on Dec 21, 2014

A re-imagining of the role of the innkeeper in the nativity story of Christ.

Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough--because there was no room for them at the lodging place. Luke 2:7 Now, that’s our verse and it comprises, so far as I know, everything we know about the lodging arrangements, and ...read more
