    Welcome To Our World

    Contributed by Wes Humble on Nov 17, 2006

    This sermon was used with video clips from the Peanuts Christmas video.

    There is a little guy some of us never think about except at Christmas. He is short. He has a little round head. He doesn’t have much hair. He seems to always be on the wrong side of the ball in life. If you have ever paid much attention to the cartoon strip Peanuts, than you know that Charlie ...read more

    In America Christmas no longer includes Christ.

    Christmas without Christ Luke 2:1-20 Christmas 2005 We are in a point in American History that we want to take God and religion out of all public life for fear we will offend someone. So we don’t thank God at Thanksgiving we are just to be thankful. At Christmas we want to have a happy ...read more

    This was a sermon given on Christmas morning, 2005.

    Lk. 2:1-20 “A Celebration or a Sigh” It’s finally here. The wait is over. We lit the white candle, the Christ candle at the beginning of the service as a physical reminder that Christ was born into this world on Christmas morning. And so as we begin this message this morning, I ...read more

    OUR SOULS ARE STIRRED BY A DIVINE JOY THAT CANNOT BE SILENCED BY TIME, TRADITIONS, OR TROUBLES….AND AS THAT FIRST Christmas unwrapped this great joy, so we discover how to unwrap our own.

    This morning, before we finish our gathering together and head into this final week before Christmas, we will have an opportunity to declare in song that marvelous refrain…“Joy to the World, the Lord has come let earth receive her King.” For there is a joy, a deep, divine joy that beckons our ...read more

    God’s love for us is a sacrificial love, shown in Jesus giving up all for our sake.

    I was watching a show on TV a couple of weeks ago and they were asking school children what Christmas was all about. There were two common themes that came out as they gave their answers. The first was "Presents." Not that you think of Christmas as being about presents, I’m sure! (How many people ...read more

    I think the shepherds set us a great example, and there are 3 things we ought to notice about what they did.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. If you were to choose a character in the Christmas story that you would like to be, which one would you pick? Joseph? Mary? One of the shepherds? A wise man? Or, maybe an angel? I think I’d like to have been ...read more

    God’s choice of the lowly shepherds, as those to whom the announcement of Christ’s birth came, shows that his love is available to all on the same basis -- faith.

    [Luke 2:8-20] Most people in America are familiar with this passage, even if they rarely crack open a Bible. These verses from Luke have even entered the popular culture, through Linus’ famous speech in the Charlie Brown Christmas video. Every December since 1965, in between televised scenes of ...read more

But animals also play a role in the greatest story ever told. Being ...read more

    Christmas Without Christ Is Meaningless

     | 13,439 views

    Christmas without Christ is a contradiction in terms but the antidote is to hear the Word of the Angel and the Worship of the Heavenly Choir, to follow the Witness of the hepherds and ponder the Wonder of Mary.

    Many of us have had more Christmases than we care to remember! We half dread it’s coming because of the superficial spirit brought on by the build up of publicity to enter into the spirit of the festive season. The business world, it has to be said, with an eye on the cash till, seizes upon the ...read more
