    Meeting Of The East And West Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 24, 2024
     | 550 views

    The meeting of the east and west is always a conflict rather than a conjunction of the two. The west claims the political power, and the east claims the knowledge and wisdom. Jesus brings all together. He is the Prince of Peace.

    Theme: Born to Give Text: Matthew 2:1-12   Greetings: The Lord is good and His love endures forever.   Introduction: The image of the wise men on the Christmas cards, the visit of the Magi scene in Christmas play are different from what we are told in the Bible. Matthew commences his ...read more

    Epiphany - A Bright Idea

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Dec 26, 2024

     | 661 views

    An examination of epiphany through the visit of the magi to the toddler Jesus. Their gifts stimulate us to living out our Christian lives in this new year by living holy lives that glorify God.

    The earliest reference to Epiphany as a Christian feast was in AD 361, by Ammianus Marcellinus. The holiday is listed twice, which suggests a double feast of baptism and birth. The baptism of Jesus was originally assigned to the same date as the birth because Luke 3:23 was read to mean that Jesus ...read more

    A sermon that is more than just a story - but designed to get us thinking about who Jesus is. Inspired by the novel Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.

    This sermon was preached first at St Nicholas Church Perivale on 29 December 2024- using the Church Worship's 1st Sunday of Christmas Year C, but could also fit with the Catholic tradition of cleebrating that Sunday as "The Holy Family" or with Holy Innocents or St Joseph's day. ...read more

    The Magi were an example of people who have little light who make the most of the opportunity. The Jews and Herod were the opposite--they were clueless as to when their King and Messiah had come.

    Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7.

    Epiphany is not just a moment of clarity; it’s a summons to transformation. Let’s walk through this text with open hearts, asking, What does the birth of Jesus teach us about power, greed, and the true call of leadership?

    Sermon Title: The Quest for Power vs. The Call of Christ Text: Matthew 2:1-12 Church, it’s the first Sunday of a brand-new year, and God has a message for us: Pay attention.

    Yet this star meant different things to different people. What does this star mean to us? How does it relate to me? How can I relate the star to others?

    The Scriptures are still the place to find the way to Jesus.

    1. “Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, in Judea, during the reign of King Herod.
