    This Message looks at the journey of the wise men and their encounters on the way to see Jesus. Each person in the story had to make a decision about how they would respond to Jesus. How will the hearer respond today

    How Far Will You Go To Find Life? Introduction. Life for the Jewish people in Roman control was not as they wanted it. They had been in exile and under foreign control for some time and it was no secret that they desired to have their sovereignty again. They spoke regularly of the messiah and ...read more

    The Long Way Home

    The Flight into Egypt by the Holy Family reminds us that that our spiritual journey home is a long one, often through dangerous territory and requires reliance on God to be successful.

    THE LONG WAY HOME MATTHEW 2 13—21 THE LONG WAY HOME Sometimes, when we were young, we used to take the long way home, just to enjoy the scenery and the companionship. Christmas is about a lot of things, but it is at least about getting back home. We sing about it: “I’ll be home for Christmas, if ...read more

    The Scrooge In All Of Us

    I have adapted a recent J. John’s sermon, using Scripture to compare Herod and our own sinful tendencies with the Dickens’ character Ebenezer Scrooge.

    The Scrooge in All of Us Matthew 2:13-18 Christmas is one of those times that almost demands that we be creative with the familiar- the story of Bethlehem, and the baby Jesus in a manger. The angels we have heard on high. You might feel that you are familiar with the story that you ...read more

    The streets of Bethlehem awash with blood! What happened to gentle Jesus, meek and mild? ...

    O little Town of Bethlehem! How still we see thee lie! No! Not today!

    State Of The Heart Worship

     | 2,699 views

    Why some people worship Jesus (the Wisemen) and some don’t (Herod).

    The difference between those who worship Jesus and those who do not is the state of their heart. Herod did not want Jesus worshiped. He desired no rival to his position and power. The wisemen on the other hand were anxious to worship the newborn king. When you examine the hearts of the wisemen ...read more

    Joseph

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more

    Carol Service sermon focussing on the search by the Magi and encouraging people to join in that search.

    Some of the questions people ask about pregnancy - and answers ! Should I have a baby after 35? (No, 35 children is enough.) How will I know if my vomiting is morning sickness or the flu?

    Introduction The sight of a sleeping baby causes most people to think “ahh” they look so peaceful, until they wake and start yelling! The Christmas story can be like that - it seems so comfortable, so safe, so cute, after all who can resist a little baby. Well we know some people could – Herod for ...read more
