    Christmas Courage: The Story Of Joseph Series

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Nov 28, 2006
    based on 124 ratings

    There are three points to this sermon. 1. God gives courage to ordinary people. 2. God gives us courage to overcome our doubts and fears. 3. God gives us courage to face the future.

    (This sermon is a re-working of “The Nativity Story: The Courage of Joseph” by C. Raymond van Pletsen. I used some of the same wording and illustrations but changed the outline and applications. I only spoke of movies I had seen and since I am not a sports fan changed the ending.) Christmas ...read more

    The story of the Wise Men is a story of mystery, for it presents questions that we cannot answer.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER THE WISE MEN TEXT: Matthew 2:1-12 The story of the Wise Men is a story of mystery, for it presents questions that we cannot answer. "Where did they come from?" We don’t know. "How many were there?" We really ...read more

    Discusses how we receive/accept our spouses.

    I Receive You Introduction Last week, we talked about the fact that all of us have areas where we tend to be very selfish in our marriage. These are the areas that make us think we are not able to build oneness with our spouse. This message focuses on how we accept the gift that God has given us ...read more

    The first of Three 2006 Advent Sermons

    (1) Last year I heard an incredible song that was the background to a house whose lights were set to this song. Those of us who have e-mail probably received it at least once last season. After I tracked down the title, I tracked down the CD and Susan gave me the CD as a birthday present. The ...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. Even the movie, “the Nativity Story” has them at the stable. It’s not wrong to ...read more

    The Magi - their openness and responsiveness to God’s leading is an example for us today.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of year, don’t you think? The lights, the songs, the decorations… they all seem to add so much. And there are a lot of traditions and a lot of other things that have become a part of the whole Christmas experience. And there’s always such a build-up toward the big day, ...read more

    The three gifts of the Magi symbolically represent gifts that we too can bring our Lord.

    “What Gifts Do You Bring Him?” Matthew 2: 1 – 12 Giving and Receiving What do you enjoy more, giving gifts or receiving? I know that I was very excited to give Alisha some of her Christmas gifts this year. There were at least a couple of BIG surprises for her! And maybe we enjoy giving because we ...read more

    Sermon from Matthew 2 dealing with the four prophecies Matthew cites as being fulfilled in that chapter and through seeing God’s hand at work then, we can know He is at work in our lives today.

    Sermon-1/7/07-Out of Egypt-Matt. 2:13-23 Read Matt. 2:13-23 OT over 330 prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. Chapter 2 matt. Focuses on 4, each is very specific and unique, so much so that the chances of one person fulfilling all 4 simply by chance are astronomical. They could have only ...read more

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over. The time for singing carols and wishing peace and goodwill to all is finished. The presents have been handed out. The cards have all been ...read more

    Follow In the Wisemen’s Footsteps 1) Confident of the way to heaven 2) Humble in your approach to heaven

    Did you hear the one about had the wisemen been wisewomen? They would have stopped for directions sooner allowing them to arrive in time to sweep the barn, make a casserole, and help deliver the baby. They would have also brought practical gifts! Seriously though, the Magi (as Scripture calls ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the Magi.

    I read this humors account of the Wise Men (obviously written by a woman): If it had been ‘Wise Women’ instead of ‘Wise Men’, they would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts from Baby’s-R-Us, including ...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

    What is the hurry to pack away the creche and baby Jesus? Lets leave him out as a reminder of the great joy of the Christmas season.

    Jesus Unwrapped Matthew 2: 13-15 An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt.
