    A look at the journey of the Wise Men and ours as well.

    Year Round Christmas Matthew 2:1-12 December 31, 2017 It was a few days after Christmas. A family was busy cleaning up and putting away the Christmas decorations.

    Everybody’s God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 7, 2018

     | 7,522 views

    The story of the wise men reminds us we worship a God above political might, a God over religious complacency, and a God over cultural prejudice. Often God colors outside the lines, moving in ways that shatter our assumptions. Our God is everybody's God!

    Matthew 2:1-12 Everybody’s God Today we conclude the “twelve days of Christmas,” that period of time between Christmas day and Epiphany, celebrated just yesterday. In church history, Epiphany marks the arrival of the wise men, the magi from afar bringing gifts to celebrate the newborn king. ...read more

    ..................... Led by a star. Except it wasn’t actually a star that led Agnes to travel her 7252 mile odyssey from her home to where God led her. It started in Agnes’s childhood with her mother saying: “My Child, never eat a single mouthful unless you are sharing it with others.” “Mama, who ...read more

    How do we plan our lives and actually do it?

    As I noted last week, we closed the year 2017 and look forward to a new year by thinking about the 7 P’s for the Christian life: Pray, Plan, Pray, Prioritize, Pray, Proceed, Praise! Last week we made a note of praying and praising from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18…... How thankful were we the last week? ...read more

    No tree to place them under. No shiny bows or wrapping paper. But the original “Christmas Gifts” are worthy to be examined during this season.

    The Gifts Pt. 1 - Gold I. Introduction ?Here it comes. Ready or not. Tree assembled or not. Christmas. With all of the hustle and bustle. The paper and bows. The lights and wreaths. Christmas.

    The Gifts Pt. 3- Myrrh I. Introduction ?Time is running out! Christmas is upon us! If you haven’t completed your shopping list I am sure you are nervous and frantic.

    The Imitation of Christ is a Christian devotional book written by Thomas Kempis, a man of German-Dutch descent who lived in the 15th century.

    Forgotten By God Series

     | 2,728 views

    Joseph’s life is a roller coaster ride with incredible highs and depressing lows. Last week we saw the first “big dip” and this week – sold into slavery and falsely accused Today, we observe the second “big dip” in the life of Joseph, forgotten in prison.

    The story acts like a mini-novel tucked away at the end of Genesis. With every turn of the page, you find yourself saying, “You’re not going to believe what happens next!” Joseph’s life is a roller coaster ride with incredible highs and depressing lows. Last week we saw the first “big dip” and this ...read more

    What Do The Magi's Gifts Mean Today?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021
     | 1,866 views

    The gifts that the magi presented to the baby Jesus have metaphorical meaning. What do they mean today?

    The story about the three magi visiting the baby Yeshua is a problematic story. If such an event took place, why is it only found in Matthew's Gospel? The idea of three magi traveling from Persia to Judea is fascinating. The narrative says that they followed the Bethlehem star. Many people ...read more

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Nov 25, 2020
     | 2,574 views

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

    It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies. For example, “The Man Who Invented Christmas” appears to be a fantasy movie. It is reality fiction. The story tells how Charles Dickens ...read more

    Cut! Cut! This story is missing something! The script is not going the way it was written. First, it was written with a God-given ability for all players in the script to always love the Lord, follow his precepts for godly living. Let’s review, the original script looked like this: • At first, ...read more

    Being A Christmas Star Perhaps the best known symbol of this season is the star of Bethlehem. It is common for Christmas trees to be crowned with a star on the top, with lights which shine like stars wonderfully scattered all about.

    God, through these Magi is showing the attitude of the heart He longs to see in those who approach Christ. All who have hope in Christ will fall before Him in their hearts, they adore Him and submit to His authority.

    Practical Worship “On coming to the house, they saw the child with His mother Mary, and the [Magi] bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.” (Matthew 2:11) God, through these Magi is showing the attitude ...read more
