    The Night Jesus Was Born

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 14, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,129 views

    This message will answer the following questions: Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? What did the shepherds do after they left Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus? What did Mary do? What other events might Mary have pondered in her heart?

    Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? (Luke 2:8-16) God chose to tell His good news to the lowly. He sent His angels with the message to shepherds, who were watching their sheep in the fields that night. An angel said, "A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, has been born today in ...read more

    The Shepherds Vs. The Wise Men: The Report Goes Out To Working Men, Elites, And Political Leaders

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 14, 2022
     | 1,230 views

    The gospel is information we receive and then decide what we’re going to do with it. We read this map, these directions saying, you’re a sinner, you deserve hell, you will go there without Jesus, but here’s what you do, come to Jesus and receive Him as your savior...

    Recently I received some information, a report that was very good. Chelsey, and Karen, and my mom, and others had gone out for the Stuff a Blue Goose event, for the first time at Meijer, and with the help of MSP they had raised over $1,000 in donations and 300 toys. That is what you would call good ...read more

    Honoring Joseph

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Dec 20, 2022
     | 1,444 views

    What kind of a man was Joseph? (Material adapted from Leslie Flynn's book, "Christmas Messages", in the chapter called, "The Forgotten Father")

    HoHum: There is a forgotten man at Christmas. Poetry, paintings and stories of the nativity treat him minimally, if at all. Few sermons are preached on him. Why is he neglected? Perhaps his silence contributes to his downgrading. Not a single word he speaks is recorded in the gospel story. ...read more

    Christmas is about the one eternal gift that was given to the world - Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

    Christmas 2022 Scripture: Luke 2:7-12; Matthew 2: 1, 11, 16 Christmas has always been my most favorite time of the year.

    Jesus' Father Is Our Father

    Since Jesus' Father is our Father. This means God our Father always protects. God our Father always provides.

    JESUS’ FATHER IS OUR FATHER (Outline) January 3, 2021 - Christmas 2 - MATTHEW 2:13-23 INTRO.: Our text today reminds about the very special relationship God the Father has with his children.

    Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021
     | 3,159 views

    The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

    It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more

    The Violent Battle Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Brady Boyd on Oct 22, 2020
     | 1,878 views

    So many of the Christmas stories happen at night. The shepherds are surprised at night by an angel. Jesus is born at night in a filthy manger. The Magi see a star that leads them to Jesus.

    The Last Word – Revelation 12 The Violent Battle of Christmas October 11, 2020 So many of the Christmas stories happen at night. The shepherds are surprised at night by an angel.

    Herod And The Wise Men Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 9, 2021
     | 4,915 views

    The wise men were religious outsiders who traveled a good distance while the religious insiders were sitting on the front porch of Bethlehem but failed to take another step. The religious insiders watched the religious outsiders pass right by them.

    Today, we begin a short Christmas series entitled The Characters of Christmas. All throughout the story of Christmas, there are major and minor characters who play an important role in making the story of Christmas great theatre. Now, I love to watch a good movie, and I imagine many of you are the ...read more

    This Bible passage, about the “Massacre of the Innocents,” can be applied to abortion. This message shares some insights into the driving force behind the killing of babies, and speaks of what can be done to stop it.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Remembering the Holy Innocents.” “In the New Testament, the ‘Massacre of the Innocents’ is the incident in the nativity narrative . . . in which Herod the Great, king of Judea, orders the execution of all male children two years old and under in the ...read more

    In Jesus' flight to Egypt and return from Egypt we see several powerful truths that let us know that there is indeed hope for our future.

    There Is Hope For Your Future Matthew 2:13-23 Good morning MGCC! HEY – as we begin I want to share some good news with you, in fact, it is great news.

    Forgotten Hero Of Christmas

     | 2,672 views

    Today as we approach Christmas, we need to look at one of the unrecognized heroes of the Christmas story.

    We all have heard many sermons on Christmas that dealt with: • THE VIRGIN • THE ANGELS • THE SHEPHERDS • THE INNKEEPERS • THE WISE MEN But there is one individual that is overlooked many times. WHO IS THAT? I am talking about Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. • It was indeed a SPECIAL ...read more
