     | 1,128 views

    To become mothers of Christ, we must internalize and make Mary's prayer our own: "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).

    The spiritual motherhood of Christ is an exalted state attained by embracing a resounding "yes" to God, even in the face of seemingly impossible demands, echoing the divine calling that turned Mary into a virgin mother. To become mothers of Christ, we must internalize and make Mary's ...read more

    Christmas busy-ness can leave us unfocused and exhausted. Joseph & Mary show us how to get back to work, reconnect with friends, and set new goals and work on them. Let's be transformed!

    Simeon: A Lesson In Waiting & Obedience

     | 1,901 views

    Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

    Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more

     | 109 views

    Abraham and Sarah, and Martha and Mary received the one thing they needed—God’s presence in their lives through his Word. Let’s ask God the Holy Spirit to do the same thing for us today and every day.

    God came to visit them. In two of our Scripture readings for this Sunday two pairs of believers hosted God in their homes (well, to be exact one was a tent). Abraham and Sarah welcomed the LORD God who took on a human body to be able to visit them on a personal level. They heard God’s promises ...read more

    The woman who anointed Christ regardless of what others knew or thought about her, and her act of love is memorialized by Christ. I believe that scripture shows us this woman has a name -- Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

    By Pastor Milton O. Bradford, Good Hope Baptist Church Cleveland Ohio Luke 7:36-50 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him.

    First Sunday after Christmas, Year A -- God had Mary and Joseph take Jesus down to Egypt. When God sometimes takes us out of our comfort zone, it is part of his gracious plan for us in Christ.

    Here we are at the end of one year and ready to begin another. The readings for this morning are for the First Sunday after Christmas, and the Gospel tells us about the trip that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus took down to Egypt. It wasn’t a vacation. They weren’t just “going south for the winter.” They ...read more

    When the angel came to Mary and told her what was going to happen. She responded by saying "may it be to me as you have said". This became the theme for her life. It can, and should, become the theme for our lives too.
