     | 5,898 views

    IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS (Part 2) If you and I are to keep from being embarrassed at Christmas, we need to learn to give in the same way God has given to us. Selfless giving follows God’s example. God hasn’t given us anything waiting

    INTRODUCTION: Have you ever been embarrassed a Christmas? Has you found yourself “red faced” and it wasn’t due to the cold? Unfortunately many of us have fallen into the commercial Christmas mentality and find ourselves overly self-conscious and uncomfortable if we receive an unexpected gift ...read more

     | 7,580 views

    Preached in a church of another denomination for Christian Unity Sunday and Martin Luther King Sunday: we tend to hide our own history and to conceal our witness. But God calls us into a wider ministry.

    I’m not sure how it is among Methodists, but we Baptist folks have a strange custom of hiding when we come to church. We hide. We try to get in and get out without being noticed. I don’t know whether Methodists are infected with this disease, but with Baptists it is an epidemic. We hide. ...read more

    Jesus doesn’t send us to the comfortable places only, to declare Him. Sometimes we need to be in the dark places.

    27 Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” 29 And He continued by ...read more
