    A Poetic Sermon that the Holy Spirit helped me with about Jesus’ Divinely-guided escape from Herod and how JESUS is the Reason for celebrating Christmas. Be blessed, in Jesus’ Name!

    "The Reason" By Sterling Franklin Let’s open up with a word of Prayer... Our Mighty Lord, we Praise You for who You are, what you have done, are doing, and WILL do.

    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,989 views

    The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

    If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

    Part 3 of 5 of the series, Christmas Perspectives. The Three Magi who sought a "new" king, and the pompous ruler who feared the rumor - these unique perspectives on the birth of Jesus point us to our own hunger and fears for the one who came as a child...

    READ: Matthew 1:18-25; 2:13-15; 2:19-23. Today is FATHERS’ DAY. I want to speak to you about a man - a FATHER - who is very often overlooked, I think.

    It’s Christmas time, & all kinds of sounds remind us of that - bells ringing, choirs singing, & music filling the air. But in the midst of all the joyous sounds there are other sounds - sounds of anguish & grief.

    Finding Out Who Really Cares

     | 2,319 views

    Who really cares about us? Not this world’s Herods, for fear lashes out destructively. We find care in those who, like the wise men, believe in us and give gifts for the future; and who, like Joseph, sacrifice for us. Epiphany at National Baptist Memor

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people to do business with.

    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent

    The people surrounding the virgin birth of Jesus were shaken in different fashion—whether they were moved to praise God, or stimulated into humble submission or was agitated or shook up to insecurity, the thing to remember is that around the time of Chris

    The Dark Side Of Christmas

     | 5,999 views

    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

    The King of Eternity came into this world and the world had no idea what had taken place. Politicians, Priests, and the Public missed one of the greatest miracles ever for they weren’t looking for Him. Are we any different?

    THEY WEREN’T LOOKING FOR HIM Matthew 2:1-18 Introduction: When we consider the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, we quite often forget the obscurity in which the events took place. The appearance of the wise men and the reaction of their message reveal the depth of that obscurity. The ...read more
