    All I (Really) Want For Christmas

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 23, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,903 views

    Like Joseph, we think we want freedom from embarassment, but we really want love. We think we want an ordinary life, but we really want to be special. We think we want a little support, but we get the presence of the Living God

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those who thinks we should do away with gift-giving at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part of the joy of the ...read more

    This was a sermon designed to focus on the sign of a savior... if... in a nontraditional manner :p

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Dec 26, 2007
     | 2,681 views

    The perspective of Joseph is changed from a shocking surprise to a willingness to accept the cultural pressures associated with seeming to break the rules.

    Are you talking to me too? Week 2 – Joseph’s perspective - Last week we started off the advent season talking about perspective. I encouraged you to break away from the perspective that comes from the world. The views we pickup from the culture, like when we hear elevator music where we tend ...read more

    A Boy Named Jesus

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Dec 31, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,200 views

    This message deals with the significance of Jesus’ name(s). The focus is about "God with us" vs God "is" with us. The importance of having God "within" us, guiding, comforting, encouraging, loving. Not alongside us, but "with" us.

    Now, I’m a long time country/western fan. I just love a good country song that proclaims: “I don’t love you anymore, trouble is, I don’t love you any less!” There are even some truly classic country Christmas songs such as Momma got run (or run-ed’) over by a reindeer! I always had a fondness ...read more

This story, however, is not just about God’s loving and grace-filled activity, it is also about Mary and Joseph. This young ...read more

    To many, Joseph is a mere footnote in biblical history but we can be sure that God was as concerned with who would be the earthly “father” of His Son as He was of who would be His mother.

    JOSEPH, A REMARKABLE FATHER The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 So her husband Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her ...read more

    If we could have one perfect Dad on Father’s Day and the rest of the year, whom would we choose? While the answers may be varied and many, I would choose Joseph of the New Testatment, to be the all time winner of the "Father of all Times."

    The love Mary & Joseph had for each other, coupled with the love they had for God, culminates in one of the greatest love stories ever told - the story of Christmas.

    Christmas: From Joseph’s Eyes I’ve watched the Jerry Springer Show a few times. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Jerry Springer junkie, but the few times I have seen the show has given me a pretty good idea of how that program operates.
