    Do You Care About People More Than God?

    This was a tough text to preach on. When I went to read what early church fathers had written or preached about this text, I found that it was skipped by almost everyone from Chrysostom to Augustine. So, where angels fear to tread....here goes a fool for

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who cares more than we could ever imagine. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 30 to 150 baby boys in the vicinity of Jerusalem died. 30 to 150 little boys were taken away from their mothers in this text. An ...read more

    Israel Reduced To One

    Matthew’s quotation of Hosea is extremely helpful for interpreting Biblical prophecy. God’s promises to the nation of Israel have found their fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ.

    - The first time I read our text for today several years ago, “Out of Egypt I called my son” I thought no big deal. That makes sense, Jesus is God’s son. It makes perfect sense. - Then I started to think about it some more – it says that this happened to fulfill what the Lord had said through the ...read more

    God's Guiding Hand

    One of the greatest tragedies in the Bible is the killing of the innocents. As terrible as the story is, though, it does show us how God moves in the middle of tragedies and injustices.

    Matthew 2:13-23 “God’s Guiding Hand” INTRODUCTION While we were celebrating the gift of Jesus with our family and friends, a lot was going on around the world. Bhutto was assassinated in Pakistan causing the country to more social and political upheaval. Several of our troops were killed in ...read more

    Following God

    In today’s Gospel reading, we are taken on a twelve-year journey in the life of Jesus in a just a few lines. Joseph and his family have been forced to leave Bethlehem to leave Judea in order escape the wrath of King Herod. This has lead to a lot of speculation over what took place during those ...read more

    Finding Out Who Really Cares Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 6, 2008
     | 2,840 views

    Who really cares? NOT those who are full of fear, like Herod. But those who believe from the beginning and who give gifts for the future, like the wise men; and those who sacrifice to protect, like Joseph.

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people you do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s distant, it’s limited to transactions. We deal with people who may not even ...read more

    This sermon should motivate people to see that God was directing the events at the incarnation and He has given us directions as well.

    Divine Directions (4 of 4 in the series “Jesus our Messiah” – Matthew 1-2) Text: Matthew 2:12-23 - Date: December 17, 2006 INTRODUCTION We see here in this narrative section of Scripture that there was a lot of Divine Directions taking place.

    The Christmas season is a difficult time for some to celebrate when they have suffered tragedy during the year. That first Christmas also had their share of tragedies.

    Matthew 2:13-23 The First Melancholy Christmas Introduction – I Heard the Bells Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was filled with sorrow at the tragic death of his wife in a fire in 1861. The Civil War broke out that same year and it seemed this was an additional punishment. Two years later, Longfellow ...read more

    In this sermon I want to show how all that took place in the life of Jesus was in fulfillment of prophecy.

    Scripture We have just heard the story of Jesus’ birth told in the Lessons and Carols. There is a sense in which the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is about the Lord Jesus Christ. However, we have listened to various passages of Scripture that deal specifically with the birth of ...read more

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more

    Many times we think of Mary’s role in the birth of Jesus, but Matthew records the difficult road Joseph had to travel in protecting this little life that the enemy wanted to snuff out.

    Have you noticed that the first chapters of Matthew are really Joseph’s story? Luke records Mary’s version of events and has her genealogy, but Matthew one is Joseph’s lineage, and her in Chapter 2 we find God again speaking to Joseph about caring for the safety of the Messiah. As a father, the ...read more

    There are worldly kings trying to battle against the King of kings and His kingdom as demonstrated by Herod’s attempts to fight against the newborn king and His Kingdom. What can we learn from this battle between kings for our own lives today?
