    God’s peace is granted to us through His Son

    When I was a young boy growing up we had a family tradition of collecting all our Christmas cards and hanging them on the wall. Of course at that point in my life the most important Christmas tradition was the tree and the presents. But the second strongest childhood memory of Christmas was the ...read more

    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,985 views

    The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

    If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

    A Father Of Vision

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on May 31, 2001
    based on 140 ratings
     | 9,122 views

    Joseph was not the biological Father of Jesus, but he certainly was a good example of the CHARACTERISTICS OF A VISIONARY FATHER.

    The first two chapters of Matthew’s gospel contain five different dreams or visions. FOUR OF THESE DIVINE DREAMS WERE GIVEN TO JOSEPH - THE EARTHLY FATHER OF JESUS. It is clear to see that Joseph was a father of vision - God’s vision! Joseph had a particular responsibility among men. He would ...read more

    Martyrs for jesus come in many shapes and forms

    The scripture we read this morning is quite a grim text isn’t it, but in the eastern orthodox church they use this same scripture to celebrate the end of the Christmas story. In that church, they have set aside the 29th of December as a holy day. A holy day where they commemorate the lives of the ...read more

    Following Where He Leads

    What we sometimes sing, we also think and feel in our hearts: who of us do not want to be with family and loved ones this time of year? To see smiling faces that reflect love, acceptance, and goodwill?

    Matthew 2:13-23 “Following Where He Leads” Friends in Faith and Christ, In 1943 – the middle of World War II – Bing Crosby recorded the popular song, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas … if only in my dreams.” I learned this week that the song was not written to be understood the way many of us think ...read more

    A sermon about experiencing God's presence during difficult times.

    Matthew 2:13-23 “God Is with Us” A few years ago after I delivered my Christmas Eve sermon, a nice guy who happened to be skeptical about God, faith and Christianity came up to me, all smiles. “I’ve finally figured out why people like Christmas,” he said. “Really?” I answered. “Please tell ...read more

    The murder of the Innocents shows us how the Lord works his plan in his own way. Christmas brings evil on its heels that the LORD deals with.

    12.28.25 Matthew 2:13–18 13 After the Wise Men were gone, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt.

    Safe In His Hands

    Contributed by Major Stewart on Dec 27, 2025
     | 493 views

    Safe in His Hands proclaims how God protects His purpose amid danger. Through Matthew 2, this sermon reassures believers that divine calling attracts opposition, but obedient faith rests securely in God’s sovereign covering and purposeful care.

    SAFE IN HIS HANDS Text: Matthew 2:13–23 (NIV) Beloved, one of the most comforting and challenging truths in all of Scripture can be summed up in this declaration: What God ordains, God protects. What God purposes, God preserves. What God plans, God guards. We love to talk about the birth of Jesus. ...read more

    We come to the end of the Christmas season, and the Gospel reading assigned to us is jarring. We've spent weeks with angels and shepherds, with wise men and star-light, with Mary's Magnificat and the peaceful scenes around the manger. We've sung "Silent Night" and "Joy to ...read more

    Trust And Obey

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 5, 2026
     | 198 views

    Faith is more than words. I can say that I believe all day long but at some point, I have to actually step out in faith. That's how I know that my faith is real but that it is strong enough to hold me up and sustain me no matter what's going on in my life.

    Basically, I grew up in upstate New York. There were some woods at the end of the street and there was a pond more or less in the middle of it. In the winter, we would skate on it and play hockey. The thing is ... as we gathered on the edge of the pond, we always had the same debate: Was the ...read more
