    The Wise Men came from afar to seek Jesus. Are you seeking him today?

    We’ve seen the Christmas poster “Wise Men Still Seek Him.” When we think of the Wise Men we think of those who were seeking Jesus. TODAY we want to look at their example as we continue our series FINDING JESUS. The question you must answer today is whether or not you are ...read more

    For years I thought the only reason the Wisemen came to Jerusalem was to get directions. But I was wrong. What other possible reason could the Wisemen have had for going there?

    My home church met in a huge building. The main sanctuary had four sections of pews that ran back 12 rows or so and the back section had another 2 sets of pews. Then there were two balconies that ran along the sides of the main area. They said they could seat over 600 people in that building. ...read more

    At Christmas we all hope to either find or give the perfect gift. But if there was a present under the tree with Jesus' name on it, what would that look like? What would it contain?

When I was child, that seemed like the ultimate question. Each year I hoped I would get that top present on my wish list. And when I shopped for ...read more

    Why does Matthew add the story of the slaughter of the baby boys in Bethlehem. First becasue it is fact and second to trigger assocaiations between Jesus birth and Moses birth (see details in sermon)

    I came across this excerpt from a sermon from the Early Church Father St. Quod-vult-deus (Sermo 2 de Symbolo: PL 40, 655) “A tiny child is born, who is a great king. Wise men are led to him from afar. They come to adore one who lies in a manger and yet reigns in heaven and on earth. When ...read more

    In our society you can’t even utter the word "Christmas" in many circles. Why not just do away with it?

At one large grocery store chain, they told their employees that the reason they now open on Christmas is that only about 30% of Americans are Christians so why not? In our culture, especially in the last few years, the word ...read more
