    The sermon portrays Joseph knocking on the door and the Inn Keeper said, "there is no room." Also let us consider our response as Jesus is knocking on our hearts door and who will get the door.

    “The Knock” Luke 2: 1-7 Dr. Bill Wilson was preaching a sermon explaining how the inn keeper just simply had no room for Jesus in the inn; as a result the Savior had to be born in meager circumstances in a manger for cattle. Explaining how God is calmly knocking on our ...read more

    In Christ we have complete salvation, forgiveness, victory, and growth.

    Background: • As the Apostle Paul continues to write, we find that chapter two is a sobering wakeup call to the church. The true church of Jesus Christ will always be at war until the return of Christ. Last week we looked at how our enemy the devil seeks to knock the church ...read more

    We must learn to become all things to all men, that we might indeed WIN/GAIN some for Christ to SAVE.

However, and somewhat surprisingly, he then turns the idea on its head: ‘Nevertheless, we have not used this ...read more

    Jesus will judge the nations (peoples) of the world on judgement day.

    This reading uses the separating of sheep and goats as a means of illustrating how Our Lord will separate the righteous from the unrighteous on that Judgement Day. The use of the sheep and goats as an illustration always amuses me. Years ago, on the mission field in the Dominican Republic, I was ...read more
