     | 7,255 views

    Do we get caught up in the festivities of the Christmas season, or do we hear God’s call to discipleship? This Sermon is for the observation of the Holy Innocents, December 28.

    Delivered to Deliver Others! Well, here we are, on the other side of Christmas. The gifts are opened, the parties are over, and the meals and cookies are consumed. Perhaps even some of the gifts have been returned. I haven’t yet seen my first Christmas tree on the curb, but I’m sure it can’t be ...read more

     | 5,256 views

    This message confronts Herod’s behavior, and how we as Christians need to change our behvior to be more reflective of a Christian lifestyle.

    This time of year, many people get around to making some "New Years Resolutions". No doubt, some well intended resolutions that may last for a while, but not all resolutions get kept, and most have gone by the way saide within just a few short weeks. But I want us as we approach a New year to think ...read more

    Finding Out Who Really Cares

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,329 views

    Who really cares about us? Not this world’s Herods, for fear lashes out destructively. We find care in those who, like the wise men, believe in us and give gifts for the future; and who, like Joseph, sacrifice for us. Epiphany at National Baptist Memor

    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent

    Psalm 124, Jeremiah 3:15-17, Revelation 21:1-7, Matthew 2:13-18 The Holy Innocents The Gospel lesson that is read today is actually from the lectionary for the Feast of the Holy Innocents, which in the liturgical calendar is celebrated on December 28 – four days ago.

    State Of The Heart Worship

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 2,709 views

    Why some people worship Jesus (the Wisemen) and some don’t (Herod).

    The difference between those who worship Jesus and those who do not is the state of their heart. Herod did not want Jesus worshiped. He desired no rival to his position and power. The wisemen on the other hand were anxious to worship the newborn king. When you examine the hearts of the wisemen ...read more

     | 11,283 views

    When Christmas is past - the joy and the glory of it - what do we have left? This sermon tells us what remains after the strains of "Silent Night, Holy Night" have ceased.

    Only The Star Remains; Isaiah 63:7-9; Matthew 2: 1-18 The miraculous, glorious birth is over. The shepherds have probably left the birth-place to return to their keeping watch over their flocks. The friendly beasts that attended this birth, feeling the stir of excitement that animals feel when ...read more

    Why did Herod want to kill the Christ child? His motivation has much in common with those today who want to kill Christmas.

    OPEN: (I sat on a stool on stage, reading the following from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” I taped my sermon into the pages of the book and used the book as both prop and way to hide my sermon notes).

    Why is it our Christmas joy, peace, and hope are so fleeting? Perhaps, as nearly happened 2000 years ago, someone or something is trying to steal our joy.
