Intro> Mary, did you know? It’s a beautiful song and was presented beautifully here this morning, but it’s a song that asks a singular question that is actually very easy to answer... ->NO, Mary didn’t know. --There’s no way she really would have known all that was going to occur in the life of ...read more

Greatest Story Ever Told's Opening Act Tweaked To Advance Assorted Agendas

In the frantic effort to co-opt all of culture to advance the cause of comprehensive revolution, not even the symbols of the sacred and solemn are immune from being hijacked for the purposes of advancing the agenda.

Here He Comes Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 27, 2012

Today I want to share the Christmas story with you from both the Old and New Testaments to show how this birth of Jesus was written into the history of the world before it was even created. We will see how prophecy was so perfectly fulfilled and why we

The Bible is such an amazing collection of inspired writings. How the whole collection can so perfectly from start to finish come together to give us the entire story of Jesus with so many authors over so many hundreds of years.

Bethlehem Eucharist

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 14, 2022

The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)

Bethlehem is 6 miles south of Jerusalem, that is where the manger was. Mary did not say, “I am not having my baby here, it only has one star!” She gave birth to her first-born son. It does not mean that Mary had other children but rather expresses the rights of inheritance as in Genesis 27:36; ...read more

The Reason For The Season

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 7, 2012

This sermon uses a life-sized nativity on stage and strips away all of the non-essentials to find the real reason for the season... Jesus

The Reason for the Season This sermon was instigated by things I have heard this past week on T.V., on t radio, and in listening to others talking. I feel that there are some misunderstandings that MUST be addressed. This week I have heard personalities in media who have said things ...read more

"The Inn Hospitality"

Contributed by Bruce Lee on Nov 30, 2014

This is a deeper look at the translation "no room for them in the inn." It is not about there not being enough "space for lodging' but turns to become more about there not being enough "hospitality" for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus.

“the inn hospitality” “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” Luke 2:7 (NKJV) Intro: There has been much deliberation and speculation over the whereabouts ...read more

We have seen this morning that Jesus is the way, and that we should seek to follow the way. Whenever you go on a journey, the first thing to decide is where you are going!

A Christmas Bible Study

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013

An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more

They decided to send the elephant down the left side with the ball. They threw him the ball and he ran hard ...read more
