    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    In life there will be forces that seek to destroy, deny, or deter human and spirital potential, but the good news is that we serve a God who overcomes.

    God Who Overcomes Matthew 2:1-15 Matthew 2:15 “Out of Egypt I have called my son” After the joy of Christmas, after birth of Jesus, after the wise men and Sheppard’s, and after the angels sing, we encounter Herod’s diabolical plot to destroy the baby Jesus.

    This sermon is an idea of the meaning of Christmas many of us overlook. It works well if you have a projection system and someone knowledgable in Powerpoint.

    I MATTER Merry Christmas! Wow! What an awesome time of the year this is. Let me ask you a question this evening. What does Christmas mean to you? Wait. Before you just shout it out for me, just think about what it means to you personally. Now I know that some of you are thinking about ...read more

    Scripture As we consider the birth of Christ today, I would to consider three Christmas responses. Let’s read Matthew 2:1-12, 16-18: "1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born ...read more

    At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

    There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more
