    Matthew 2:1-12 shows us three responses to Christ's birth.

    Introduction The account of the Magi, also called wise men, who came from afar to worship the one who was born king of the Jews, is a familiar one. The account is recorded only in the Gospel of Matthew. While it is a familiar story, it is also a fascinating account of men about whom we know very ...read more

    In this reflection, we reflect on how we move from the confusion of Peter to the focus of Jesus, from the cross of our lives to the crown of our heavenly lives by following Christ Jesus with our conduct in our lives on this earth.

    No Cross, No Crown (Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time) Jeremiah 20:7-9, Romans 12:1-2, Matthew 16: 21-27. Reflection Dear sisters and brothers, Let us read the Word of God for this Sunday.

    Adoration Of God Alone

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2020
     | 4,602 views

    The words adore and adoration have been trivialized over the past few decades. Do we worship and adore the God of Heaven and earth alone or are others drawing our worship-attention away to places it does not belong?

    Adoration of God Alone Today we will be reading from 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Adoration. I don’t know if you realized this but every song we sang this morning contained the word “adore” or “adoration”. “Father, I adore You … Jesus, I adore You … Spirit, I adore You…” “Holy, holy, holy!

    Ang Muling Pagkabuhay Ni Hesus Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 27, 2024
     | 5,458 views

    Siya ay nabuhay! Siya ay buhay! Si Jesus ay muling nabuhay upang hindi mamatay. Ang iba sa Bagong Tipan ay nabuhay, ngunit namatay muli, tulad ni Lazarus. Si Jesus ay binuhay mula sa mga patay at siya ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.

    Ang muling pagkabuhay ay ang pinakasentro at esensya ng Kristiyanismo. Ito ay “pangunahing kahalagahan” ng pananampalatayang Kristiyano. Ang kakanyahan na iyon at ang kahalagahan ay nakuhang maganda sa 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 15:3-5. Sapagkat ibinigay ko sa inyo bilang pinakamahalaga sa lahat ang ...read more

    Old Testament prophecies build our faith that Jesus is really God's anointed. We look at prophecies which give us the where, when and who of Jesus' birth.

    Today we’re starting our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. After Jesus was born, magi – astrologers – came from the east to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is he who has been born KING OF THE JEWS?’ [Matthew 2:2]. After the magi found Jesus, ‘they fell ...read more

    Jesus’ command that we pick up our cross and follow him is a choice, and a choice that doesn’t come without sacrifice, but also bring sjoy and fulfillment

    There’s the story of a soldier frantically digging in during battle as shells fall all around him. Suddenly his hand feels something metal and he grabs it. It’s a silver cross. Another shell explodes and he buries his head in his arms. He feels someone jump in the foxhole with him and he looks over ...read more

    Rapture Suspense

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 7, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,423 views

    The Bible tells of a man kept in suspense all his life -- waiting for the moment Jesus would come. Since we're waiting like he did, there's a lot of lessons we can learn from him; why God chose him, how he waited daily, and what happened when he saw Jesus

    RAPTURE SUSPENSE Lk. 2:25-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SUSPENSE JOKE 1. A man came to the border of a country on his bike. He had three large sacks in the basket. The border guard asked him, "What's in the sacks?" "Sand." The guard searched through the sand and couldn't find anything. 2. A week ...read more

    Because eyes that would see God and ears that would hear God, Anna truly did behold her Redeemer and would then announce His redemption.

    LUKE 2: 36-38 [Christmas] ANNA’S PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING Luke here reveals Anna’s prayer of thanksgiving to God for the coming of the long-awaited Messiah.
