    What Do The Magi's Gifts Mean Today?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021
     | 1,681 views

    The gifts that the magi presented to the baby Jesus have metaphorical meaning. What do they mean today?

    The story about the three magi visiting the baby Yeshua is a problematic story. If such an event took place, why is it only found in Matthew's Gospel? The idea of three magi traveling from Persia to Judea is fascinating. The narrative says that they followed the Bethlehem star. Many people ...read more

     | 181 views

    The Herods of the Bible provide us with powerful lessons on the dangers of pride, selfish ambition, and rejecting God’s will. Their lives serve as stark warnings about the cost of rebellion against God and the importance of humility, integrity, and obedience in leadership.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 2:1-18, Mark 6:14-29, Acts 12:1-23 Supporting Texts: Luke 23:1-25, Acts 12:20-23, Revelation 19:11-21 INTRODUCTION: The Herods in the Bible represent a family line known for their tyrannical rule and opposition to ...read more

    A Tale Of Two Kings

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 26, 2022
     | 2,459 views

    In the story of the birth of Jesus, we encounter the clash of two kings, both called the King of the Jews. In Jesus and Herod we find two opposite ways to live, and come to understand the real meaning of life. Hopefully all of us will choose to follow King Jesus rather than King Herod.

    Introduction: A. Today I want to begin by talking about The Scrooge and The Grinch. 1. Personally, I have always enjoyed the story of the Grinch more than the story of the Scrooge, probably because of the humor of the Grinch and his little dog dressed up like a reindeer. a. The Grinch also has a ...read more

    Once Christmas is over, we usually pack up our decorations, lights, ribbon, dishes, Christmas tree, etc., and carry them to the attic for storage until next year. In other words, we put Christmas away. This isn't God's will; we should live it all year round!

    CHRISTMAS IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR? Matthew 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. ILLUSTRATION 1. It was a few days after Christmas. A family was busy cleaning up and putting away the Christmas decorations. As they took down the Christmas tree, the son asked “what are you doing?” The parents said, “We’re putting ...read more

    The further you pursue science in any discipline, you're going to get to Jesus Christ. Because that's where the truth is. If you have an open heart and you pursue science to its fullest, you're going to get to God and you're going to understand more about who God is.

    Today we're going to look at the wise men. In order to look at the wise men, we have to go back about 600 years to start our story. The story takes place, I'm going to say, about 600 years before with a man named Belteshazzar. You might not know him. You might know him as Daniel. The ...read more

    I realize that we are already past the Christmas season, but the action of the wise men and their desire to worship our Lord Jesus should be an example to us as we begin this new year.

     | 2,359 views

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

    It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies. For example, “The Man Who Invented Christmas” appears to be a fantasy movie. It is reality fiction. The story tells how Charles Dickens ...read more

    Cut! Cut! This story is missing something! The script is not going the way it was written. First, it was written with a God-given ability for all players in the script to always love the Lord, follow his precepts for godly living.
