    Everybody’s God

    The story of the wise men reminds us we worship a God above political might, a God over religious complacency, and a God over cultural prejudice. Often God colors outside the lines, moving in ways that shatter our assumptions. Our God is everybody's God!

    Matthew 2:1-12 Everybody’s God Today we conclude the “twelve days of Christmas,” that period of time between Christmas day and Epiphany, celebrated just yesterday. In church history, Epiphany marks the arrival of the wise men, the magi from afar bringing gifts to celebrate the newborn king. ...read more

    Yet this star meant different things to different people. What does this star mean to us? How does it relate to me? How can I relate the star to others?

    Opening illustration: A man and his small son who were walking slowly down the streets of a large American city one Christmas time. It was wartime, and the child was delighted to see many service stars hanging in the windows of homes. Each star proudly proclaiming the fact that the son was in the ...read more

    A Tale Of Two Kings

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 26, 2022
     | 2,454 views

    In the story of the birth of Jesus, we encounter the clash of two kings, both called the King of the Jews. In Jesus and Herod we find two opposite ways to live, and come to understand the real meaning of life. Hopefully all of us will choose to follow King Jesus rather than King Herod.

    Introduction: A. Today I want to begin by talking about The Scrooge and The Grinch. 1. Personally, I have always enjoyed the story of the Grinch more than the story of the Scrooge, probably because of the humor of the Grinch and his little dog dressed up like a reindeer. a. The Grinch also has a ...read more

    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!

     | 1,379 views

    The further you pursue science in any discipline, you're going to get to Jesus Christ. Because that's where the truth is. If you have an open heart and you pursue science to its fullest, you're going to get to God and you're going to understand more about who God is.

    Today we're going to look at the wise men. In order to look at the wise men, we have to go back about 600 years to start our story. The story takes place, I'm going to say, about 600 years before with a man named Belteshazzar. You might not know him. You might know him as Daniel. The ...read more
