    There are many spirits of Christmas but what is the true Christmas Spirit.

    THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Luke 2.8-14 Introd: The story of Scrooge by Dickens is a remarkable illustration of the mean-spiritedness of Christmas. Many in our day, to a more or less degree, have this spirit. As the people of God we should have the True Christmas Spirit. Let us look at the True ...read more

    Ultimately, the birth of Jesus is about who gets glory. Glory to God!

    We haven’t spent too much time thinking about the way things were in the world when Jesus was born. I listened to a talk by speaker Rob Bell this week and I started thinking about what the world was like when Jesus was born. Look at Luke 2:1. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more

    I hope that this very special Christmas message will touch your heart, and that after hearing it you will find yourself a little richer in faith, a little stronger in spirit, and once again reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.

    I invite you this day to come along with me as we take a journey back in time to the holy lands of Israel. We will begin in the District of Galilee, and then the city of Nazareth, and then conclude our journey in the tiny town of Bethlehem, birthplace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I ...read more

     | 5,410 views

    The truth of the matter is that none of us are good all the time. In fact, the Bible says that’s why we have Christmas, because all had sinned and come short of the glory of God. In Matthew 1:21 the Bible says you’ll call his name Jesus for he will save

    The gifts of Christmas. Matthew 2:1 -- 12. 11/15/04 I was reading the other day some children’s letters to Santa I thought you might enjoy. One of them said, "dear Santa, you didn’t bring me anything good last year. In fact, you didn’t bring me anything good the year before that either. This ...read more

    Christmas is a paradox. The Christmas story is filled with the unexpected—the unimaginable. And yet the Christ Child was born amidst these paradoxes; let’s for a few moments think the paradox of Christmas.

Yet they gathered and stared, not completely understanding what they saw—just that they had to see. . . “Mary was tired and sore and a little sick.

     | 5,905 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
