    Contributed by Don Schultz on Dec 8, 2004
    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,142 views

    John the Baptist wasn’t sure if Jesus was the one he was to be expecting. Sometimes, our expectations don’t come true either, especially at Christmas.

    Matthew 11:1-11: GREAT EXPECTATIONS, AND RECOGNIZING THE MIRACULOUS “Why do I feel depressed right now, when I’m supposed to feel happy?” “Why do I feel frustrated right now, when I’m supposed to feel joyful?” “This isn’t the way it was supposed to be. This isn’t what I was expecting.” What ...read more

    A pre Christmas preparation, and encouragement to see ’The Gift’ rather than the gifts!

    EMMANUEL - The Gift Christmas will soon be with us, and that thought can fill you with dread; or with excitement! The thought of all the wrappings that are now added on to the real Christmas is enough to make anyone feel a little dejected! The original idea of giving gifts to celebrate is still a ...read more

    Waiting is one of the hardest things we are called to do. And sometimes our expectations get skewed in the meantime.

    Passage: Matthew 11:1-6 Intro: There are few things in the human experience as intense as waiting for something. 1. It seems like we spend our whole lives waiting to grow up, for our birthdays, our graduation, our marriage, our kids and our grandkids. 2. and of course, we wait in incredible ...read more

     | 6,147 views

    Christians are polarized by Christmas. We battle against the commercialism and secularization of one of the two most holy days for Christians.

    So, Christmas is Over, huh? I have a poem I’d like to share with you. It’s called "The Month After Christmas." ‘Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house, nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I’d nibbled, the fudge I did taste, all the holiday parties ...read more

    How To Have A Merry Christmas

    Contributed by James Snyder on Dec 24, 2012
     | 12,107 views

    We face the danger of taking the Merry aspect of Christmas for granted.

    For most, Americans in particular, Christmas is the most artificial time of the year. Everything about it reeks of artificial, from the fake Christmas tree all the way to our Christmas greeting, “Merry Christmas,” and all the singing of Christmas carols. Few people really mean what they sing. All ...read more

    Christmas – is a religious Holiday once a year, Dec 25, whereas ChristMust – is a daily surrendering of life to Jesus Christ.

    From ChristMAS to ChristMUST Christmas – is a religious Holiday once a year, Dec 25, whereas ChristMust – is a daily surrendering of life to Jesus Christ.

    In all the rush and stress of the holiday season it's easy to lose sight of the 'big picture' of what Christmas is really all about. In this series we ask (and answer!) the question of "What's Jesus Got to do With Christmas?"

    Time and time again God tried to get His message of love through to His human creation with little response. Finally, when there was no other way, He wrapped up His message in person. Jesus was and is that message.

    There’s a story about a man in Wales who sought to win the affection of a certain lady for 42 years before she finally said, "Yes." The couple, both 74, recently became "Mr. and Mrs." For more than 40 years, the persistent, but rather shy man slipped a weekly love letter ...read more
