    There were a number of reactions to Jesus that first Christmas: some were troubled by Him, others were indifferent to Him, and still others were seekers of Christ.

    REACTIONS TO CHRISTMAS Mt. 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. There are a lot of things we celebrate this time of year. Several major holidays; a. December 5 is National Ninja Day. Some of you say, “I didn’t see that coming.” That’s because it’s Ninja Day. b. December 16 is officially ...read more

    It’s obvious why kids look forward to Christmas. But today we’re going to look at two people who were looking forward in eager anticipation for a much different reason.

    INTRODUCTION: Remember when you were a kid and you couldn’t wait until Christmas arrived? When my brother and I were young, my Mom would have this Christmas calendar with cotton balls stuck to each of the squares. Each day we took turns taking a cotton ball off. We were excited to do so ...read more

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,473 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

    Thanksgiving and Christmas go together because we all want to "thank God for His indescribable gift" of Jesus and His salvation." (2 Corinthians 9:15)

    THANKSGIVING AT CHRISTMAS “Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift.” 2 Corinthians 9:15 What Paul is sayIng here is that he cannot find the words to express how grateful he is for all that God did for him and the whole world when He sent His Son to be our Savior.

    This is the second sermon in an Advent series for Advent 2019. In this sermon we look at Jesus being the light of the world and what that means.

    Advent 2019 (Pt. 2) Text: Isaiah 9:2-7 Well, this is the second Sunday of Advent, and again I’m going to have you all open your Bibles to Isaiah 9:2-7, and we’re going to read this passage that we read last week… And as you’re turning there, let me just remind you that last time we talked about ...read more

    1. This kind of King elicits fear in us. 2. This kind of King inspires hope in us. 3. This kind of King makes us heirs with him.

    Very often, at Christmas, we hear stories retold, like Mark Twain’s "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court", where King Arthur dresses in peasant’s garb and visits the subjects of his kingdom. The king lays aside his royal robes and privileges in order to identify with life outside the ...read more

    Today's Christmas message is about the overshadowing power and presence of the Holy Spirit in the conception and life of Jesus, and how the benefit of the Holy Spirit's overshadowing presence and power in the life of the believer.
