    A Christian Point Of View

    Contributed by Dennis King on Jun 18, 2018
     | 3,234 views

    But how do we keep a 'right' point of view about Jesus and the Christmas Story in the face of so much that influences us otherwise?

    How we interpret our feelings about a particular event or circumstance is not always the same as someone else. When others take great risks in life, you might tend to label them foolhardy. When you take chances, you are adventurous. If someone else suggests a correction, are they nit-picky or ...read more

    Isaiah said the virgin birth was a "sign." Matthew picked up on that, as did the angels. But why was this "sign" so important to us?

    OPEN: A Sunday School put on their own impromptu Christmas pageant. The teachers read the story and provided some props; then they stood back and let the kids dramatize the story on own.

    Navigating God’s Will (Matthew 1:18-25) 1. Some people think you can find God’s will by opening up a page of the Bible and putting your finger down, “Bible dipping.” So this guy tries this method of finding God’s will for him. He prays for guidance. He closes his eyes, lets his Bible fall open, ...read more
