    Wouldn't it be wonderful if we actually started to practice the things we hear & sing about at Christmas time? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we would take the spirit of Christmas with us all through the year?

    The purpose of these Christmas stories, as recorded by the authors of the gospels, is to remind us that the silent, holy night of unnatural calm that we celebrate on Christmas is really the point of the eye of the storm.

    The Christmas season would be over next week.... “AFTER THE ADVENT SEASON... NOW WHAT?” Let’s follow the footsteps of the Family as they continue their trek to God’s plans and purposes.... for His Glory.... It is also in great relation and realization for everyone of us here as we enter 2019.... ...read more

    How do you respond to Christ the King Who is the fulfillment of the ages? Like Herod, and all Jerusalem with him, do you hate Him and fear Him? Or, like the shepherds and magi’s, do you bow down before Him and worship Him?

    Opening illustration: A young boy desperately wanted a bicycle for Christmas, so he asked his parents for the bike; His parents wanted to teach him the importance of prayer, so they suggested the young boy should write a letter to Jesus and pray for one instead."

    Matthew's Gospel records the account of the circumstances surrounding the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, including the attempt on His life by the hands of Herod and the horrendous events that followed.

    Joseph and Mary were betrothed to one another. It involved a marriage arranged by both sets of parents and the details were negotiated by the signing of marriage contracts. This time of betrothal was as binding and serious as the marriage itself, which would not take place until a year later. ...read more

    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

    Feast of the Holy Family 2025 One of my favorite theologians has pointed out that St. Joseph had the hardest ministry of all.

    Safe In His Hands

    Contributed by Major Stewart on Dec 27, 2025
     | 412 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
     | 140 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
