    Phobeo!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Dec 16, 2022
     | 996 views

    Using Joseph as an example and the word for "fear" in Greek (Phobeo) used by the Angel, we too can overcome the fears that keep us from the pursuit of holiness (sanctification).

    PHOBIA! AS DEFINED, IT MEANS “AN EXTREME OR IRRATIONAL FEAR OF OR AVERSION TO SOMETHING.” FEAR CAN BE GOOD! FEAR HELPS PROTECT US. IT MAKES US ALERT TO DANGER AND PREPARES US TO DEAL WITH IT. FEAR CAN BE LIKE A WARNING, A SIGNAL THAT CAUTIONS US TO BE WATCHFUL AND CAREFUL. HOWEVER, FEAR CAN ALSO ...read more

    Joseph's Jesus Story

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Dec 16, 2022
     | 1,585 views

    The birth of Jesus Christ is multi-layered and filled with mystery. The details are scandalous and messy. The focus of Matthew’s account is on Joseph’s Jesus story.

    Joseph’s Jesus Story Matthew 1:18-25 Introduction What is your picture of the perfect Christmas? Beautiful decorations, lovely family, delicious food, well-selected gifts, and children that know how to behave! How many of us really have a Christmas like that? In reality, Christmas - is not ...read more

    Buy a Hallmark card and it will picture a beautiful scene and give a positive message. But not everyone experiences a Hallmark Christmas. Some people have problems, and as we look at scripture, we discover that one of the original characters of Christmas has a big problem. His name is Joseph.

    Alba 12-11-2022 THE OBEDIENCE OF JOSEPH Matthew 1:18-25 It is Christmas shopping time as we near the big day. Stores take advantage of this and come up with some clever signs to encourage people to shop in their stores. Here are a few clever ones: From a toy store: "Ho, ho, ho spoken ...read more

     | 1,422 views

    When we live the life Christ has called us to - we are testifying about His birth. We testify because we are joyful of what He has done for us. This message is a story of prophecy, dependency on God, and (most importantly) witnessing to others.

    2022 Advent Sermon Series “Can Jesus shake up your Christmas?” Luke 2:25-40 Introduction - The Advent season is a wonderful time of year!! -- Not only does it signify the celebration of Jesus’ arrival to this world -- But it gives us opportunity to pause and celebrate all that God has ...read more

    What kind of a man was Joseph? (Material adapted from Leslie Flynn's book, "Christmas Messages", in the chapter called, "The Forgotten Father")

    HoHum: There is a forgotten man at Christmas. Poetry, paintings and stories of the nativity treat him minimally, if at all. Few sermons are preached on him. Why is he neglected? Perhaps his silence contributes to his downgrading. Not a single word he speaks is recorded in the gospel story. ...read more

    Why Jesus Was Borm

    Contributed by Gregory Peterson on Dec 20, 2022
     | 1,533 views

    Explore some of the reasons Jesus was born, often teach our children that Jesus came, but seldom do we help them understand why He came. Perhaps we have never considered this or have come up with the idea this scripture presents but not the why. Explore that today.

    I. Jesus was born to save His people from their sins. This implies that each of us is guilty of sin. Romans 3:23 affirms that, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Sin has caused a separation between us and God, a complete breaking of fellowship with Him. This ...read more

    The heart of Christmas is beautifully described in the gospel of John. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life

    Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts.

    If we stop and listen, God will tell us what to do. He might not speak to us through an angel. He could speak to us through our friends, family members or even total strangers. He will speak to us through His Word.

    Heavenly Dreams

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 21, 2015
     | 2,865 views

    Advent calls on us to forget about our own expectations and remember the love of Jesus and Joseph and the love of God. We are called on to let God’s peace gradually warm our souls and free us for new expectations and the birth of something within us.

    Today we begin the transition from Advent to Christmas. We are led to the stable. Our hopes, dreams and longing for a Saviour are the same hopes, dreams and longings people had on that first Christmas 2,000 years ago. The birth of the Messiah pointed to the promise of the Kingdom. To many people ...read more
