    Why leave John the Baptizer and go follow the Galillean Rabbi Jesus instead?

The Messiah was due soon, everybody knew it, and ...read more

    Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

    A teenager walked into the local Catholic church and sat down in the confessional booth. He wanted to talk about how strict his mother had been with discipline, as he was seeking a sympathetic ear. The session began with the priest asking, “What would you like to confess, my son?” The young man ...read more

    It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Series

    Contributed by John Mcelwee on Nov 22, 2023
     | 1,595 views

    This was a video devotion that was on a web site during the first winter of COVID 19 with the United Christian Church (DoC) in mind. The phrase "mask up" near the end is in reference to wearing a mask because of COVID

    “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Home Depot before Hallowe’en. That bothers some people more than it bothers me I figure even if the connection is tenuous that anything that gets people to thinking about Jesus is a good thing. ...read more

    John threatened the Pharisees and Sadducees that God would cut them down. We are all cut down to size from time to time, and we need it.

    John the Baptist's message of repentance is just as controversial today as it was in in his day. It was a message that caused people to think and evaluate what they were doing and why. It does the same today? Ready for some controversy?

    Throughout history there have been many controversial characters: kings and queens, presidents and politicians, artists, actors and song writers, scientists and CEOs. What is it that made them so controversial? By what they did or said, they made people uncomfortable, forcing people to have to ...read more

    It is easy to assert that it is all about Jesus. Sometimes we believe that our focus is sincerely upon the person and work of Christ. But, is it? John the Baptist was Jesus focused, but when are we? Matthew 3:1-17 provides five moments when we are Jesus focused.

    1. We are focusing on Jesus when we call people to repentance. Mt. 3:1-2; Mt. 4:17 2. We are focusing on Jesus when we clarify his identity. Mt. 3:3; Is. 40:3; Mt. 16:13 3. We are focusing on Jesus when we complete our God given tasks. Mt. 3:4-6 4. We are focusing on Jesus when we ...read more
