     | 11,035 views

    God tells us 3 things at Christmas: (1) He is WITH us, (2) He LOVES us, and (3) He is FOR us.

    The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16-17) God tells us 3 ...read more

    God saves you FROM sin. He saves you FOR a purpose. He saves you BY His grace.

    There is a purpose in everything we do. • We do not wake up every morning and then go through the motions of living. We make plans and seek to achieve something. It is odd to do anything without purpose. • If we know that, then we can expect God to have a purpose when He sent Jesus ...read more

    It’s the 9th beatitude; the Christmas beatitude. We never hear it from Jesus’ lips but from Paul’s pen. What is it? It’s Acts 20:35!

    This past week my wife Nicole and I were out finishing some last minute Christmas shopping. I was driving and she was riding in the passenger seat. All of a sudden, out of nowhere my wife blurts out, “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.” She said, “I love giving way more than receiving. ...read more

    The Green decorations of Christmas speak of the promise of life in a season of barren trees and gloomy skies. The birth of Christ also speaks of that promise.

    OPEN: Someone has developed a personality test based on how you decorate for Christmas: • If you have nothing but multicolored lights on your tree – you’re an extrovert. • If you only use white lights – you’re the type who asks his guests to remove their shoes at the front door. • But if you use ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    The fullness of time came more than two thousand years ago. A tiny baby came into a grim and dark world bringing light to all mankind, a light that still invites men to come into the warmth of God’s grace and find there peace, and hope, and love.

    The Story of Christmas 12/21/08 AM Text: Matthew 1:18-25 Introduction: For many today, Christmas is just a holiday; a stressful one at that.
