    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 31, 2021
     | 2,373 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

    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

    God’s call to take the journey to worship the newborn king isn’t just for those born to privilege, or those born in the church. It isn’t just for pastors, scholars, and religious leaders. No, God’s call to worship is for anyone who will listen.

    OPENING STORY An old king sat uncomfortably on his throne, fingernails dug into well-worn grooves in the wood as he waited nervously for the mysterious travelers to approach.

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Nov 25, 2020
     | 2,528 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. Let’s review, the original script looked like this: • At first, ...read more

    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

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 20, 2020
     | 1,414 views

    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
