  • Three Big Reasons To Rejoice At Christmas

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2021
     | 2,476 views

    Jesus' birth was cause for lots of rejoicing. But wasn't it a long time ago? Is it still cause for rejoicing for us? It certainly is!

    [This is a short sermon / reflection for a short Christmas Day service.] Earlier in the service we reminded ourselves of the Christmas story. Perhaps we thought: that’s a nice story. But does it really affect me? In the Christmas story in the Bible there’s a constant note of joy. Elizabeth ...read more

    The joy of Christ coming into the world, God with us.

    Christmas Eve December 24, 2021 Christmas is such a great time of the year. It’s filled with a little more excitement and energy than in the middle of February and March. Yet, as excited as we are about Christmas, it’s easy to gloss over the Christmas story because we’ve heard it over and ...read more

  • Our Refuge And Strength Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021
     | 3,816 views

    This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

    Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 27, 2021
     | 5,355 views

    We have some stories around the world about how the Kings became gods of their tribes then became to their nations, for, ex., Zeus, King Rama, King Buddha became gods, and King Nebuchadnezzar established an Image in his likeness to be worshipped (Daniel 2).

    Theme: Jesus the King Text: Matthew 2:1-11 Greetings: Illustration: A pastor was greeting the believers after the Christmas service. He saw a young man, called Jim, Pastor told Jim: “Jim, it’s time for you to join the Army of the Lord. We need to see you every Sunday.” Jim replied: “Pastor, I’m ...read more

    A new year's message to get us looking at God first.

    New Year Message January 2, 2022 This is really a great Sunday! When we think about the new year, there’s always the hope that the new year will be better than the prior year. If 2021 wasn’t the best year, then there’s the hope, maybe an expectation that 2022 will be better. And if 2021 was the ...read more

  • "the Challenge Of Epiphany"

     | 5,676 views

    Epiphany challenges us to think about who we might consider to be unworthy and how we, the Church, might reach out to them in Christian love.

    “The Challenge of Epiphany” Matthew 2:1-12 What image comes to your mind when you think of the Magi in Matthew’s Gospel? Having sat through a number of Christmas plays, it may be hard for us not to think of children wearing bathrobes and Burger King crowns, trying to look as important as ...read more

  • The Epiphany Of The Lord-- The Divine Light Within

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 31, 2021
     | 2,351 views

    The only evidence the Magi had as they entered the shabby surroundings of a manger was that this baby was being shined on by a star.

    I saw a comic strip recently about the star that guided the magi from the east. The star is nervous and sweating while placing a desperate 911 call, saying: “Operator, these three men on camels have been following me all night! I stop, they stop. I go, they go. I’m so scared….” The epiphany is ...read more

  • Gold, Incense And Myrrh--And Mystery Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 1, 2022
     | 2,208 views

    Perhaps we can learn more about Jesus, and his wise visitors, by asking ourselves who was upset by these gifts?

    Epiphany Homily Gold, incense and myrrh. Treasure, sweet-smelling smoke and embalming spices. Three mysterious men from the East, who appear for a moment in Matthew's Gospel, bring gifts to the newborn Jesus, and then vanish into the history and theology books. In a new millennium, why should ...read more

  • Forgotten By God Series

     | 2,645 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
     | 1,786 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

    In Jesus' flight to Egypt and return from Egypt we see several powerful truths that let us know that there is indeed hope for our future.

    There Is Hope For Your Future Matthew 2:13-23 Good morning MGCC! HEY – as we begin I want to share some good news with you, in fact, it is great news. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by ...read more

    Today as we approach Christmas, we need to look at one of the unrecognized heroes of the Christmas story.

    We all have heard many sermons on Christmas that dealt with: • THE VIRGIN • THE ANGELS • THE SHEPHERDS • THE INNKEEPERS • THE WISE MEN But there is one individual that is overlooked many times. WHO IS THAT? I am talking about Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. • It was indeed a SPECIAL ...read more

    On Christmas we expect to hear that Jesus’ arrival made everything right! And in once sense it did, but really Jesus’ arrival turned everything upside down.

    I. Introduction It is Christmas. It is the time of year that most of us, even the most cynical and crusty, are filled with emotions, memories, and nostalgia. The older you get the more you long for the simpler days of Christmas morning excitement, gathering with family and friends, to sing familiar ...read more
