    The World Was Dark Series

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Aug 3, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,781 views

    Jesus was born into a sin filled and cruel world. Spiritual warfare was focused on one child born in Bethlehem who gives victory over death to all HIs followers.

    The world was dark Matthew 2_13-23 Sun, Dec 30, 2007 Christmas 1(a) First: Is. 63:7-14Epistle: Gal 4:4-7Gospel: Matt. 2:13-23Psalm: Psalm 111 When we look at the church calendar after Christmas, it almost seems as if the church fathers made it their business to remind us that Jesus was born ...read more

    There are worldly kings trying to battle against the King of kings and His kingdom as demonstrated by Herod’s attempts to fight against the newborn king and His Kingdom. What can we learn from this battle between kings for our own lives today?

    The King of kings The Battle between kings The purpose for the battle Selfish ambition vs. Sacrificial atonement The weapons of the battle Military might vs. Heavenly Help The results of the battle Empty & False victory vs. Eternal & Fulfilling Victory Slide I always love seeing the kids when ...read more

    Following God

    In today’s Gospel reading, we are taken on a twelve-year journey in the life of Jesus in a just a few lines. Joseph and his family have been forced to leave Bethlehem to leave Judea in order escape the wrath of King Herod. This has lead to a lot of speculation over what took place during those ...read more

    Finding Out Who Really Cares Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 6, 2008
     | 2,840 views

    Who really cares? NOT those who are full of fear, like Herod. But those who believe from the beginning and who give gifts for the future, like the wise men; and those who sacrifice to protect, like Joseph.

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people you do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s distant, it’s limited to transactions. We deal with people who may not even ...read more

    The Nazarene

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Feb 2, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,868 views

    Jesus "fills full" the prophecies that Messiah would be a Nazarene and a light to the Gentiles. His place of birth and service is part of his humiliation as God reached down to lift us up.

    Matthew 2__19-23 The Nazarene "Jesus of Nazareth" Jesus moved from Bethlehem in Judea to Nazareth in Galilee with a stopover in Egypt. Saying you are from Nazareth is a bit like saying you live in Shelbyville or Knightstown. You aren’t living in a place known for its class or appeal. ...read more

     | 3,752 views

    This Message looks at the journey of the wise men and their encounters on the way to see Jesus. Each person in the story had to make a decision about how they would respond to Jesus. How will the hearer respond today

    How Far Will You Go To Find Life? Introduction. Life for the Jewish people in Roman control was not as they wanted it. They had been in exile and under foreign control for some time and it was no secret that they desired to have their sovereignty again. They spoke regularly of the messiah and ...read more

    Do You Care About People More Than God?

    This was a tough text to preach on. When I went to read what early church fathers had written or preached about this text, I found that it was skipped by almost everyone from Chrysostom to Augustine. So, where angels fear to tread....here goes a fool for

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who cares more than we could ever imagine.

    Israel Reduced To One

    Contributed by Curt Cizek on Dec 30, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,850 views

    Matthew’s quotation of Hosea is extremely helpful for interpreting Biblical prophecy. God’s promises to the nation of Israel have found their fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ.

    - The first time I read our text for today several years ago, “Out of Egypt I called my son” I thought no big deal. That makes sense, Jesus is God’s son. It makes perfect sense. - Then I started to think about it some more – it says that this happened to fulfill what the Lord had said through the ...read more

    God's Guiding Hand

    One of the greatest tragedies in the Bible is the killing of the innocents. As terrible as the story is, though, it does show us how God moves in the middle of tragedies and injustices.

    Matthew 2:13-23 “God’s Guiding Hand” INTRODUCTION While we were celebrating the gift of Jesus with our family and friends, a lot was going on around the world. Bhutto was assassinated in Pakistan causing the country to more social and political upheaval. Several of our troops were killed in ...read more

    Father’s day message about Joseph, the adopted father of Jesus.

    READ: Matthew 1:18-25; 2:13-15; 2:19-23. Today is FATHERS’ DAY. I want to speak to you about a man - a FATHER - who is very often overlooked, I think. In some quarters he is overshadowed by the prominence given to his wife. I’m talking about JOSEPH, the husband of Mary and the adopted father of ...read more

    God’s timing is not always our timing, but it is always right. Here’s how to wait on Him.

    Matthew 2:1-23 Luke 2:21-40 2 Peter 3:8-9 1 Samuel 13:5-14 Waiting on God’s Timing I think that almost every Christmas pageant, Christmas card and manger scene that you see has the wise men showing up at the stable.
