    Nothing Of Significance

    Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 23, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 2,080 views

    Christmas Eve parable -- kind of silly and serious at the same time -- poking a little fun at my own Scandinavian heritage. From the beginning the trained observers have failed to recognize the significance of the Nativity.

    The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more

    Christ-Mis Assumptions

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 30, 2002

    Some of the same misassumptions about the Messiah that caused the people of Israel to miss the coming of the Messiah can cause us to miss God’s working in our lives. We’ll look at four Christ-mis assumptions.

    I thought about what to do for a Christmas Eve message. I thought about the angels, I thought about the baby in the manger, I thought about the busyness of the season, and carols and hot apple cider and hayrides in the snow – and my mind kept going back, back to Israel, its land and its people at ...read more

    Peace: Ready, Set, Go Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 27, 2000
    based on 88 ratings
     | 7,165 views

    To gain peace in stressful times, we need, like the shepherds of Bethlehem, to be ready and open to God’s doing new things; to set out promptly to respond to God’s action; and to go back into our normal course of life, but with a difference.

    These are stressful days. There is too much going on. Too much. Too much work, too much to think about, too many demands, too much. Why, we have to shop and bake and decorate and plan parties and send cards and on and on. Too much. Stressful. Too much traveling. I heard an astonishing ...read more

     | 35,181 views

    It is easy to be tired of church if church does not connect with integrity, compassion, or fundamental life change. But you will not grow weary if you will work for the good of all.

    Several years ago I officiated at a wedding at National Cathedral. At the rehearsal an official of the Cathedral explained why the service would be held in just the Great Choir of the Cathedral, and not out on the main floor, and why we would have to be exactly on-time, no exceptions. He said that ...read more
