     | 5,442 views

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The Magi followed the star from their homes all the way to Jesus. - This is the version of the story that we’ve seen shared in countless Christmas plays, movies, and cards. - And, as we’re going to be discussing at several points in this series, the fact that ...read more

    A look at the fact that the Magi did not come to Bethlehem but to Nazareth. The sermon uses that truth to talk about following God's direction instead of the man's leading.

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The star led the Magi to Bethlehem. - We’ve all seen this in a hundred Christmas plays. - Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen to be the way that the Bible actually says the story happened. - This morning I want to talk about the way the Bible says the story ...read more

    A look at the negative reaction the Magi received when they arrived in Jerusalem. Often in our lives our attempts to follow God are not met with positive responses from those around us.

    THE RESPONSE THE MAGI RECEIVED IN JERUSALEM: Their question didn’t bring joy, but instead brought surprise, anger, embarrassment, and fear. - Matthew 2:1-7. a. Surprise. - Matthew 2:3. - The people are surprised by this news. We know this because of the response. No one has any idea ...read more

    A sermon on how the world receives glad tidings on the coming of the Savior.

    Introduction People like to hear dramatic stories. Dramas are plots made successful by contrasts: Romeo & Juliet, Twilight, Angry Birds, Maya & Sir Chief [a famous noontime Filipino sitcom]. We related to these stories because deep in contrasts there is a need for us to see victory to occur -- ...read more

    A first-person narrative from Mary's perspective on what made her husband a faith-action hero.

    Noah. David. Daniel. Are these the people that come to mind when you think of faith-action heroes?

    O Little Town Of Bethlehem

    based on 73 ratings
     | 54,822 views

    In forty brief words, Micah tells the story of a very special town. Though his words may be brief, they contain a wealth of spiritual truth. The Story Of Bethlehem is a special story that needs to be told and retold. Especially in these days.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Micah 5: 2-5; Psalm 80:1-7; Hebrews 10:5-10 and Luke 1:39-55. (This Message was reworked December 2015). In 1865, ...... shortly after the Civil war,.... ...read more

     | 7,102 views

    Matthew gives us important facts concerning the Christ of CHRIST-mas: How He came (by a miraculous, virgin birth); who he was (both fully God and man, and thus a suitable substitute to die for our sins); why He came (to save us from our sins).

    We face the danger of taking the Merry aspect of Christmas for granted.

    For most, Americans in particular, Christmas is the most artificial time of the year. Everything about it reeks of artificial, from the fake Christmas tree all the way to our Christmas greeting, “Merry Christmas,” and all the singing of Christmas carols. Few people really mean what they sing. All ...read more

    Christmas is to be celebrated with the understanding of God’s love in mind!

    The message today will be quiet simple: Let’s enjoy life but let’s keep it real! You see, many may be celebrating because we survived the Mayan calendar but they continue to live in myths and fantasies. Many will celebrate Christmas without Christ! Many will say “How can there ...read more

    Gifts For The Lord

    Contributed by Robert Dovenmuehle on Dec 25, 2012
     | 5,064 views

    The magi brought extravagant gifts for the baby Jesus even though they could not know what this child would do. We know that Jesus the Christ is God and saves us from our sin. What gifts do we bring to our Lord?

    Today we observe Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, with the visitation of the magi to the baby Jesus. The visit of the magi is probably the most misunderstood part of the Christmas story. The magi are often depicted in nativity scenes as if they arrived for the birth of Jesus, ...read more
