    The Christmas That Wasn't Series

    The Magi were an example of people who have little light who make the most of the opportunity. The Jews and Herod were the opposite--they were clueless as to when their King and Messiah had come.

    Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7. SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East. SAT-7 is the largest provider of ...read more

    This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

    Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more

    The disciples didn’t recognize the miracle of the loaves and fishes as a miracle because they were still spiritually blind. How many times do we miss out on a blessing because we are in need of some Divine Illumination.

    Divine Illumination By Pastor Jim May How often do we witness a miracle and don’t even see it as a miracle? How often does the Hand of God move in our lives and we don’t even see Him at work? How much do we miss because we not looking for it? God still moves in the lives of His people but how ...read more

    Restore Us, O Lord God

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 22,056 views

    This text is a prayer of desperation! It is the prayer of people who were once used to having God’s presence and God’s power – that power being long absent and sorely missed. It is the prayer of one out of touch with God.

    Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh. Stir up your might, and come to save us! Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved. O LORD God of hosts, ...read more

     | 6,184 views

    Be careful to not deceive yourself that merely through efficiency, education and ingenuity you can be on mission with God. Many people miss out on being on mission with God because they are not following Jesus Christ and Paul the apostle in the way that t

    How to Be on Mission With God Jesus said, "I did not come to do my own will, but the will of one who sent me." (Matt 26:42) A servant always needs to listen to His Master in order to successfully fulfill his identity, role and responsibility. Too many Christians are trying to serve God with ...read more

    The irony is that Israel was in the midst of a DROUGHT, and yet the people were commanded to pour water on the sacrifice! Don’t miss this: They were instructed to put their most precious possession on the altar if they were to experience God’s Fire!

    PRINCIPLES FOR RECOVERING THE FIRE OF GOD 1 Kings 18:36-39 "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy ...read more

    What do you do when you think you have heard from the Lord and then things start to go wrong? Did you miss hearing from the Lord or are you in the center of His will in spite of problems?

    April, 2007 What Do You Do When Your Brook Dries Up? I Kings 17:1-7 INTRODUCTION: It is said that “rough spirits are called to rough services.” Elijah was such a person--extroverted, impatient, and a rugged individualist who was not afraid to stand up to King Ahab and deliver even ...read more

    Today, our Scripture tells of the third major party to the incarnation and his response to it. It is a story of courage that is told every Christmas season. But it is also a story we often miss because this hero of the story is usually in the background.

    The Courage of Joseph Matthew 1:18-25

    Could it be that wolves have been in the doctrine henhouse of our churches and we haven't realized it? Could it be that even the strongest Bible believers miss the key doctrines? What doctrines should we hold to?

    Miss you, we will without a doubt. Long for your love and understanding, everyday without exception. Mourn our loss, deeply and for the rest of our lives. Confident that we will be with you again in the presence of Jesus, never a hesitation!

    1Th. 4:13-18 Rom 12:9-18 Let us not be ignorant…so St. Paul informs us, let us not be like the rest of men who have no hope. No hope. Darkness, emptiness, zero. No hope. Fear. Anxiety.

    Are You Saved?

     | 8,644 views

    In the Pharisees' hammering out of the truth, they missed Jesus' point. The real question wasn’t, “How many are going to be saved?” The real question was, “Are you going to be saved?”

    Intro Swollen and bloated with pride, convinced their conclusions were correct, the Jewish rabbis hunkered down to refute the other side. So who was the other side? They were other Jewish rabbis. Some of them were saying that everyone who was Jewish would be saved. Others were saying that only ...read more

     | 4,556 views

    The chief priests were meticulous in making sure the "blood money" didn't go into the treasury while they were actively working on a murder. What are ways we see the small things while missing the big picture?

    Diagnosing Spiritual Near-Sightedness: There is a “spiritual eye condition” that allows people to see small things clearly while being blind to big things. - Matthew 27:6. - References in Matthew to clear “eyes”: Matthew 6:22-23, 7:3-5, 13:15-16. - We are going to go ...read more
