    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,212 views

    The Magi were educated men who understood Hebrew prophecies about the Messiah. They were Persian and probably came from modern-day Iran.

    The Magi and Three Gifts December 12, 2021 Matthew 2:1-12 NIV After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?

    The Life And Death Struggles Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 11, 2021
     | 1,784 views

    Today we are in a struggle like that between Moses and Balak, or between Jesus and the religious authorities, a battle to the death between God’s people and a pagan secular culture.

    Homily for Monday in 3rd Week of Advent Balaam was a prophet for hire. He was a wealthy and respected prophet of Yahweh, but he was not an Israelite. Balak, a king who was in the way of Israel as they moved toward the Promised Land, was nervous about all these people moving across his territory. ...read more

    How Badly Do You Wish To See The Christ–the Messiah? Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Dec 16, 2021
     | 2,699 views

    As we read the birth of The Christ child, we notice different groups or persons desiring to find and see Jesus. Recognizing their reasons to see him, we notice their desires and why they seek him; some righteous reasons and some for personal evil reasons

    HOW BADLY DO YOU WISH TO SEE THE CHRIST–THE MESSIAH? How badly do you wish to see The Christ? As we enter into the calendar period near our holiday named Christmas, often many read the story of the birth of Jesus the Christ. But, have you noticed the nature of the persons mentioned in the story ...read more

    Our Refuge And Strength Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021
     | 3,435 views

    This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

    Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

    A new year's message to get us looking at God first.

    New Year Message January 2, 2022 This is really a great Sunday! When we think about the new year, there’s always the hope that the new year will be better than the prior year. If 2021 wasn’t the best year, then there’s the hope, maybe an expectation that 2022 will be better. And if 2021 was the ...read more

     | 5,539 views

    Epiphany challenges us to think about who we might consider to be unworthy and how we, the Church, might reach out to them in Christian love.

    “The Challenge of Epiphany” Matthew 2:1-12 What image comes to your mind when you think of the Magi in Matthew’s Gospel? Having sat through a number of Christmas plays, it may be hard for us not to think of children wearing bathrobes and Burger King crowns, trying to look as important as ...read more

    The Epiphany Of The Lord-- The Divine Light Within

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 31, 2021
     | 2,235 views

    The only evidence the Magi had as they entered the shabby surroundings of a manger was that this baby was being shined on by a star.

    I saw a comic strip recently about the star that guided the magi from the east. The star is nervous and sweating while placing a desperate 911 call, saying: “Operator, these three men on camels have been following me all night! I stop, they stop. I go, they go. I’m so scared….” The epiphany is ...read more

    Perhaps we can learn more about Jesus, and his wise visitors, by asking ourselves who was upset by these gifts?

    Epiphany Homily Gold, incense and myrrh. Treasure, sweet-smelling smoke and embalming spices. Three mysterious men from the East, who appear for a moment in Matthew's Gospel, bring gifts to the newborn Jesus, and then vanish into the history and theology books. In a new millennium, why should ...read more

    Today as we approach Christmas, we need to look at one of the unrecognized heroes of the Christmas story.

    We all have heard many sermons on Christmas that dealt with: • THE VIRGIN • THE ANGELS • THE SHEPHERDS • THE INNKEEPERS • THE WISE MEN But there is one individual that is overlooked many times. WHO IS THAT? I am talking about Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. • It was indeed a SPECIAL ...read more

    Intro: How many will feel merry on this Christmas 2020 while we sing “We wish you a merry Christmas? Or even sing “Have yourself a merry little Christmas”?

    They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

    A Journey of Faith By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Today as we are approaching and will be celebrating Christmas on this week I felt God taking me in a different direction. I am not going to deal with the traditional Christmas message. Tradition has a major effect on how we perceive ...read more

    Admiring the box more so than the gift is cute if you are two. At some point, it will be a dishonor to the gift giver because you do not truly value the gift.

    The sad thing is that pagan astrologers went to great lengths to find the Messiah while among His own people neither king nor priest would travel six miles to see Him. The priest knew the place by his theological study, but could not be bothered to investigate the fulfillment of prophecy. ...read more
