    Only The Star Remains

    When Christmas is past - the joy and the glory of it - what do we have left? This sermon tells us what remains after the strains of "Silent Night, Holy Night" have ceased.

    Only The Star Remains; Isaiah 63:7-9; Matthew 2: 1-18 The miraculous, glorious birth is over. The shepherds have probably left the birth-place to return to their keeping watch over their flocks. The friendly beasts that attended this birth, feeling the stir of excitement that animals feel when ...read more

    An introduction and first sermon in a three part Advent Series developed loosly from The Chronicles of Narnia. Additional Sermons: Turkish Delight, Trickes of the Evil One and Miracle at the Stone Table.

    Narnia: Introduction & Explanation It may seem a little strange that we are building our Advent series around a “fairy tale” as C.S. Lewis called his novel, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

    The Magi's Guide To Following A Star

    Contributed by Chris Tiller on Nov 19, 2005
    based on 92 ratings
     | 19,829 views

    God just might give you a star to capture your attention and to guide you. And if you follow that star, everything just might change. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people.

    I love the story of the magi. There was a time when the magi lived far away from Jesus. They were given a special star to capture their attention and to guide them. They followed the star, and it changed everything. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people. I love the ...read more

    Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign

     | 5,049 views

    The irony that those who should have recognized the signs of Christ’s arrival were completely oblivious while "foreigners" recognized them.

    Mt. 2:1-12 ”Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign” I want to begin by asking a question. How many wise men were there? Anybody venture a guess? We typically say three, don’t we? The truth is we don’t know exactly how many there were. But we tend to say three because there were three gifts that ...read more

    Most nativity scenes, along with the shepherds, animals, and, of course Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus in the manger, have three regal figures standing there: the Magi, (they’re normally called wisemen). While that makes for a beautiful picture, it is Scrip

    A message about worship developed by looking at the Magi’s worship of the baby.

    WISE WORSHIP Matthew 2:1-12 INTRO: Recently a great deal of talk has centered around the subject of worship.

    Communion Meditation for December 4, 2005

    TS Eliot wrote one of my favorite Christmas poems many years ago entitled, ‘Journey of the Magi.’ Written from the perspective of one of the Magi, it contains a very reflective perspective on the travels to find the Christ child and the results of that meeting. A cold coming we had of it. Just ...read more
