    The True Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Dec 10, 2010

     | 21,821 views

    To so many, the mystery of this event brings a magic to their celebration like none other. Let’s unwrap the greatest Christmas gift ever given and discover the REAL REASON for the SEASON... Why was Jesus Born?

    I think that we both would agree that Christmas is more than the cards and gifts, more than the trees and lights, more than family and food. There is a much deeper meaning, a much more fulfilling notion than that of a fat, bearded man on a sleigh. It is the birth of the Christ child: the true ...read more

    From Romans, a message which speaks to being a "believer."

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE “HIS” Romans 12:3-8 * (Video- “I am a Child of God) “For HIS service.” Think about this word with me, “Possession.” What does it mean to possess something? It means you “own it”, and you “control it.” To possess something give you power over whatever it is that you ...read more

    The attitude of a child is the attitude of knowing you are incomplete, and need to grow, to change, to take the risk to be wrong.

    September 28, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The emphasis Jesus constantly puts on being childlike puzzled me until I read Carol Dweck’s great book Mindset. A child knows–perhaps without being able to articulate it–that she needs to change, learn and grow. A child knows his own incompleteness. As we ...read more

    Wat does death mean to a Christian?"

    THE MEANING OF DEATH Dying, Christ destroyed our death. Rising, Christ restored our life. Christ will come again in glory. Here and now, dear friends, we are God’s children.

    Christian shrewdness means to use earthly treasures to build heavnly friendships

    Sermon Text: Luke 16:1-10 WHAT’S IT MEAN TO BE SHREWD? Do you know any shrewd characters? It all depends on our understanding of the word “shrewd”.

     | 8,488 views

    After asking several people on the street what the cross meant to them, the answers were astounding, how would we as Christians answer that question? What does the Cross mean to us.

    What’s the meaning of the Cross? 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1. To some a symbol, maybe a religious symbol (like the star of David) a reminder, a crutch, a form of punishment, where some nice Jewish boy died years ago. 2. Bible says it is foolishness to them that perish – If you’re looking for some ...read more

    We hear all the time that we are to love each other, but what does that really mean? Today we are going to take a look at what Jesus might have meant by "loving each other as I have loved you."

    I wonder why it’s such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter. Isn’t that the same thing? I wonder why it pleases her to say time stands still when you look into her face, but not to say her face would stop a clock. ...read more
