    It is easy to remain in the character of Christianity during Christmas -- but easy to slip our character throughout the year.

    When I was a kid, my favorite television show was Superman. Understand, this was in the 1950s, when every home had only one television set, received only 2 stations, and all shows were in black and white. Superman of my childhood was a low tech show with simple special effects. But he was ...read more

    The first in a series on the life of Jesus through the book of John. Many things influence our perception of Jesus. This sermon attempts to open our eyes to the real Jesus vs. the Jesus we may have perceived him to be.

    Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up John 1:1-18 The other day as I sat at my desk I was talking on the phone, communicating by Instant Messenger and answering email all at the same time. I also had the radio playing in the background. It was during this time that I glanced down at my Bible ...read more

    Many people picture Jesus as a baby in the mager, but when Jesus came, He came as so much more. During the Christmas season we remember baby Jesus, but often forget Jesus our reigning King and Lord.

    “When He came…” Introduction: Long ago, there ruled in Persia a wise and good king. He loved his people. He wanted to know how they lived. He wanted to know about their hardships. Often he dressed in the clothes of a working man or a beggar, and went to the homes of the poor. No one whom he visited ...read more

    "The Communist was very sober. After reading a couple of other passages from God’s inspired Word, this young man was obviously very moved. His entire countenance had changed. He made a life-changing decision."

    Illustration: From Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ. "One day some years ago, I was speaking on a large university campus. A young radical student confronted me. I later discovered he was the head of the Communist Party on this big campus. He demonstrated and railed at me ...read more

    This sermon talks about the incarnation of Christ and it as God’s move of intimacy toward the world.

    This is the season to use T. S. Eliot’s masterful phrase about the Incarnation: "the intersection of the timeless with time." Before it was Eliot’s, that way of looking at the birth of Jesus into human form was captured by John: John 1:1-4, 14, 16-18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word ...read more
