    Of Superstars And Starlight Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 4, 2009
     | 3,519 views

    We have not yet learned the difference between superficial superstars and the starlight wisdom of Jesus. He transforms gold into Kingdom power, frankincense into respect, and myrrh into the preface for resurrection.

    In 1970 Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber brought out a rock opera with the provocative title, Jesus Christ Superstar. Predictably, not everyone was amused. Some condemned it as sacrilegious. But if you listened carefully and let your defenses down a notch or two, their work communicated the ...read more

    The Threatened King (Pastor Glenys) Series

    When ‘bumped’ or jolted or walloped, the content of who we are is laid bare.

    Introduction Every story has its bad ‘guy’ it seems. Whether its Cinderella’s evil stepmother, Snow White’s jealous queen or 101 Dalmatians ‘Cruella De Vil’, the evil one plays a part that amplifies the drama. However, as we have discovered, the trend in these classics seem to be a bad ‘gal’! ...read more

    What we do not know about the wise men will help us to understand their purpose - to worship the newborn king.

    Things we do not know about the “Wise Men.” 1. How many there were. a. The number three comes from the three gifts: Gold, frankincense, and myrrh. b. But for such a trip they would have had a caravan with servants to assist them. 2. Where they came from. a. All we know is that they came from the ...read more

    In Jesus, you have a Messiah who understands what you’re going through.

    The Messiah Who Understands Text: Matt. 2:1-23 Introduction 1. Illustration: A man put up a sign in his yard that read: "Puppies for Sale." Among those who came to inquire was a young boy.

    Christmas

    The Gift In our Sunday school party today we talked about how the wise men came from afar to worship the new born king. How they brought gifts for Jesus and worshipped Him. But who were these wise guys and why did they journey so far? - Magi, wise men, astrologers from east of ...read more

    To investigate the habits of the Magi as they searched for and discovered the King of kings to provoke us to make a fresh commitment to Christ.

    Text: Matthew 2:1-12 "When Chances Come" By Willo Lou Clark If you had been a lowly shepherd who heard the angels sing, Would you have left your sheep alone to find the baby King? If you had been the innkeeper - pressed & hurried since the dawn, Would you have done the best you could, or told ...read more

    What Star Are You Following?

     | 6,179 views

    Jesus is the "star" of Scripture and he is to be the star of our life. Is it he we are following or a star of our own making?

    “What’s in the stars for you?” Perhaps you remember seeing this huge front-page horoscope in the Edmonton Journal a few days ago. It may seem laughable to us that anyone would live his or her life by the “dictates of the stars” but the fact that the newspaper paid for the information and then gave ...read more

    The Horoscope Of Jesus

     | 1,964 views

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over. The time for singing carols and wishing peace and goodwill to all is finished. The presents have been handed out. The cards have all been ...read more

    Follow In the Wisemen’s Footsteps 1) Confident of the way to heaven 2) Humble in your approach to heaven

    Did you hear the one about had the wisemen been wisewomen? They would have stopped for directions sooner allowing them to arrive in time to sweep the barn, make a casserole, and help deliver the baby. They would have also brought practical gifts! Seriously though, the Magi (as Scripture calls ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the Magi.

    I read this humors account of the Wise Men (obviously written by a woman): If it had been ‘Wise Women’ instead of ‘Wise Men’, they would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts from Baby’s-R-Us, including ...read more

    God’s timing is not always our timing, but it is always right. Here’s how to wait on Him.

    Matthew 2:1-23 Luke 2:21-40 2 Peter 3:8-9 1 Samuel 13:5-14 Waiting on God’s Timing I think that almost every Christmas pageant, Christmas card and manger scene that you see has the wise men showing up at the stable. Even the movie, “the Nativity Story” has them at the stable. It’s not wrong to ...read more

    Christmas is a wonderful time of year, don’t you think? The lights, the songs, the decorations… they all seem to add so much.
