    The Long Way Home

    The Flight into Egypt by the Holy Family reminds us that that our spiritual journey home is a long one, often through dangerous territory and requires reliance on God to be successful.

    THE LONG WAY HOME MATTHEW 2 13—21 THE LONG WAY HOME Sometimes, when we were young, we used to take the long way home, just to enjoy the scenery and the companionship. Christmas is about a lot of things, but it is at least about getting back home. We sing about it: “I’ll be home for Christmas, if ...read more

    The Scrooge In All Of Us

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 17, 2007

     | 5,949 views

    I have adapted a recent J. John’s sermon, using Scripture to compare Herod and our own sinful tendencies with the Dickens’ character Ebenezer Scrooge.

    The Scrooge in All of Us Matthew 2:13-18 Christmas is one of those times that almost demands that we be creative with the familiar- the story of Bethlehem, and the baby Jesus in a manger. The angels we have heard on high. You might feel that you are familiar with the story that you ...read more

    This is a part of the Christmas story that is not included in the Christmas carols. I have never seen a Christmas card that depicts this part of the Christmas story, and yet it very real.

    “The Real Out of Egypt Story” Matthew 2:13-23 Last week we examined the story of the Magi as they made the long and dangerous journey following the star to worship the new born ...read more

    Usually, the day after Christmas, we find ourselves worn down, spent... and DONE. How can we carry the joy of Christmas throughout the year?

    Twas the Night After Christmas Before I start out, I need to find my mother-in-law. This first part is fictional… OK… as in not true… but it’s going to set up my sermon so roll with it ok? ’Twas the night after Christmas I remember it well, With presents all over, My house looked like… ...read more

    From the trek of the Wise Men, what are some lessons we can learn?

    A Trek towards the Christ Child Matthew 2:1-12 * For years we have had many misconceptions about the wise men. Of all the things which are misunderstood, we can list the number of wise men and the timing of their visit as possibly the top two. If we ask the question, “How many wise men were ...read more

     | 5,261 views

    Personal comfort and convenience have deceived many people into believing that they are justified in showing disrespect for life. God will not permit this condition to persist among His people.

    “Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the ...read more

    Attempts To Bury The Truth

    The history of our world has demonstrated that earthly kings tend to be very vulnerable people who sit upon uneasy thrones that are subject to topple in the most unexpected ways.

    Attempts to Bury the Truth Matthew 2:6- 18 NIV This past week in Canada we have seen our National Government decide to prorogue parliament. That's like the U.S. Senate closing shop for a 3 month unscheduled break. Many people are upset about this decision and see it as a blatant disregard to ...read more

    Jesus From Baby To Boy

     | 3,685 views

    Some people think that Jesus never knew sickness or pain until the cross but that thinking is contrary to scripture. Jesus knows full well what it means to be human.

    Jesus from Baby to Boy Many people are fascinated with the life of Jesus but say there is a lack of information about his early years. I want to address that concern and show you we know more about Jesus early years than people think. What we need to remember is that the gospel writers were ...read more

    We are to imitate God and follow the example of the Wise Men from the East and give gifts for the right reasons.

    What does our society call the Friday after Thanksgiving?? We think about giving gifts at least one month ahead of when we plan to give the gifts on Christmas Day. Some think of Christmas gifts one year ahead; have you seen the newspaper for today? Do we really think about the people to give gifts ...read more
