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

     | 5,183 views

    This series looks at the 5 stories after Jesus was born and the one thing whic unites all of them: their search for the Christ. Today’s scripture is disturbing at best. It is not a story we sing about, or is on the cover of Christmas cards. Most of us wo

    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

The appearance of the wise men and the reaction of their message reveal the depth of that obscurity. The ...read more
