Can We Trust The Gospels?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 16, 2019

There has been a lot of argument about whether we can trust the gospels or not. Just how did they come to be written? Luke opens his gospel with a statement of how he did it. He did it right.

Probably most every one of us has been in on a conversation where one person says something that’s a bit hard to believe. The other person questions it. And the first person raises his hand, as if he is being sworn in to give testimony in court, and says ‘It’s the gospel truth!’ ‘It’s the ...read more

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 18, 2011

A short talk for our all-age Nativity service, a week before Christmas. This year I focused on the phrase WISE MEN SOUGHT JESUS - THEY STILL DO. I remember seeing that on a car sticker 30 years ago.

The Bible doesn’t tell us how many Magi came to worship Jesus, but they were Magi plural, not single; and they were indeed wise. ...read more

The Word Became Flesh

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 24, 2017

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Nothing compares to the Incarnation of Christ. Nothing.

C.S. Lewis describes the incarnation this way: Lying at your feet is your dog. Imagine, for the moment, that your dog (and every dog) is in deep distress. Some of us love dogs very much.
