    There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting someone else up. The Wise men who came to see the Christ child helps us see this lesson at it’s best!

    Introduction I asked a group of fifth graders "Who are some of the wisest men you know..." their answers are classic! "My Papa...my next door neighbor Mr. Lee..." but the best of all, "the man who makes the machines work when they break at Chucky Cheeses..." Long before this list, there were ...read more

    There are many things we don’t know about the Magi but we do know that they were Gentiles, they came to worship the Christ, and they brought expensive gifts. Where would they look if they came today?

    We Three (Billion?) Kings Matthew 2:1-12 December 19, 2004 Someone speculated what the first Christmas might have been like if Wise Women had come from the east instead of Wise Men. First of all, they would have asked for directions and made it to Bethlehem on time. Second, they would have ...read more

    Are we among the wise of this generation? What does it mean to be a person who walks in Kingdom-wisdom? Perhaps some sages from the first Christmas can shed some light upon our paths as we walk into a new year.

    Opener: Here we find ourselves in the house of the Lord the day after Christmas!? How do we feel about that?? Traditionally, Boxing day is this: The holiday’s roots can be traced to Britain, where Boxing Day is also known as St. Stephen’s Day. Reduced to the simplest essence, its origins are ...read more

    The truth of the matter is that none of us are good all the time. In fact, the Bible says that’s why we have Christmas, because all had sinned and come short of the glory of God. In Matthew 1:21 the Bible says you’ll call his name Jesus for he will save

    The gifts of Christmas. Matthew 2:1 -- 12. 11/15/04 I was reading the other day some children’s letters to Santa I thought you might enjoy. One of them said, "dear Santa, you didn’t bring me anything good last year. In fact, you didn’t bring me anything good the year before that either. This ...read more

    As we look at the life of Jesus we see that same thing happening over & over again. So consistently does it happen that we begin to wonder, "What is God trying to tell us?"

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. This is the first Sunday, the first day of a brand new year. I think that an appropriate scripture this morning would be Isaiah 61:1 3. In many of your bibles it is sub titled, ...read more

    Looks at how the Magi returned from their visit to the stable.

    The camels cast eerie shadows as they made their way across the desert sands. The full moon lit the desert floor like a giant spot light and the caravan wove unerringly through the trackless night.

    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,376 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
