    2nd sermon in my 2008 Christmas series, looking at Christmas through point of view of Biblical characters, another attempt at a topical sermon.

    Christmas Through Their Eyes Series “What Can You Give” Matthew 1:18-23, Luke 2:1-7 Intro: For me, one of the most intriguing characters in the Gospel accounts is Joseph. You would think for someone who had such an influential role in the life of the Savior, more would be written about him…but ...read more

    What can we learn from Joseph’s response to the angel’s message?

    A “Why’s” man I wonder how many of you would hazard a guess as to which word I find the most troublesome in the English language? Despite its diminutive size it’s a word that has plagued me most of my life. It’s the word ‘why?’ Any of you who have ever been parents have, I’m sure, wished on more ...read more

    This is the final Sunday of Advent... refreshing our memories of all 4 weeks, and focusing on the message of the angels for all of us this Holiday Season.

    Isaiah 53:3-12 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by ...read more

    Joseph & Mary believed God’s Word and trusted Him. God’s plan for their lives was not an easy one. Though things were difficult, God blessed them. Through their obedience, the world has been blessed.

    A miracle happened on Christmas Day. God stepped into this world. • Jesus Christ, who is God, was born. He was born with a purpose - to save you and me from our sin and give us the hope of eternal life. • This great plan of God was fulfilled because two persons were willing to trust and obey God. ...read more

    The difficult times, the pain, the suffering, the prayers that seemed to go unanswered, none of that meant that God had left them out in the cold and none of those things mean that God has left you out in the cold.

    There we were, literally halfway around the world, standing on the edge of a very steep hill, really, almost a cliff, and we were overlooking an expanse of well manicured fields. It was a great spot. We could see every corner of the wide canyon in front of us. We stood on one of the many rocky ...read more

    We tend to underestimate God. We fail to appreciate his divinity and his humanity. We need to keep these realities in balance. Jesus is the infinite, immortal, invisible Immanuel.

    Text: Matthew 1:18-25 NLT Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her fiancé, being a just man, decided to break the engagement quietly, so as not to ...read more

    Jesus is Immanuel -- God with us.

    *It is important to understand the times in which the angel appeared to Mary and Joseph to pronounce the birth of Jesus. It was a time of great oppression for the Jewish people.

    God isn’t a God of normalcy. He doesn’t perform according to the standards of the world. Therefore, we at times will endure the Separational Season (a season of the wilderness).

    The Separational Season (Matthew 1:18-25) At a Friday Night Prayer Service, I received confirmation that the message this morning is truly not only for me, but also for the House of Transformation. This year we’ve experienced some wonderful times and some low times. There’s some stuff that many ...read more
