    based on 4 ratings
     | 30,750 views

    D. For sure, God wants us to know His reasons why He had His only begotten Son born into this world. On the night Jesus was born, the angels of God delivered a glorious message to the shepherds to make clear what Christmas is all about. Christmas is all a

    Theme: WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT Text: Luke 2: 8-14 Introduction A. Greetings: It’s our thanksgiving and Christmas celebration today.

    High & Holy Becomes Meek & Lowly

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 8, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,505 views

    Christ exemplified a character of being the humble ruler, the good shepherd and the passionate deliverer. What will we do with this? Should we really care about this at all? Why was God so mindful of us? Why should He have cared? Are we really worth it?

    Opening illustration: Abraham Lincoln’s humble beginnings have become part of American lore. But one historian says that the most difficult part of young Abraham’s life came not during his early years in a Kentucky cabin, but after Thomas Lincoln moved the family to Indiana in 1816. The family ...read more

    What About Joseph?

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 26, 2014
     | 5,603 views

    When we talk about the Christmas story we typically focus on Jesus, Mary, the Magi or the shepherds, but what about Joseph? His words may not be in the bible but his deeds are; and they speak volumes. What can we learn from the man who raised Jesus?

    WHAT ABOUT JOSEPH? INTRODUCTION: When we talk about the Christmas story we typically focus on Jesus, Mary, the Magi or the shepherds, but what about Joseph? It’s like he’s just part of the supporting cast; one of the lesser roles in the events of Christ’s birth. In fact, there is ...read more

    Let's Go To Bethlehem

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 19, 2021
     | 4,937 views

    There are “Bethlehems” in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, and even Texas. In fact, I located twenty-eight towns named Bethlehem around the globe and in the United States. They have streets named Manger Avenue and Shepherd Street. But Bethlehem hasn’t always been so prominent …

    Thank you for being a part of one of three Christmas Eve services tonight. If we could travel anywhere in the world tonight to celebrate Christmas Eve, where would you want to go? Many of us might choose the house we grew up in celebrating many wonderful Christmas family celebrations. Others may ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,750 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    The Christmas Story Pt 4. Our Love For The Lost

    Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Dec 21, 2018
     | 4,008 views

    This is a Christmas message on why God chose to send the angels to the shepherds rather than to anyone else. God wanted the message to include everyone including the lost. Since God has a great love for those who are lost we as believers should have that same type of love.

    The Christmas Story 12/23/2018 Matthew 1:18-25 Luke 2:1-7 We are in the last part of our series “The Christmas Story.” We have looked at God’s Love For Us, Our Love For Each Other, Our Love For Christ, and we conclude with our Our Love For The Lost. It’s Christmas time, and that means that it’s ...read more

    Flight To Egypt

    How do you respond to Christ the King Who is the fulfillment of the ages? Like Herod, and all Jerusalem with him, do you hate Him and fear Him? Or, like the shepherds and magi’s, do you bow down before Him and worship Him?

    Opening illustration: A young boy desperately wanted a bicycle for Christmas, so he asked his parents for the bike; His parents wanted to teach him the importance of prayer, so they suggested the young boy should write a letter to Jesus and pray for one instead." Not pleased with the response of ...read more

    A Christmas Love Worth Waiting For Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 8, 2021
     | 3,349 views

    You’ll never understand God if you ONLY approach Him as your King, your Shepherd, or even your Father. You must also see Him as your Husband before you can understand how intimate your relationship with God truly is.

    Merry Christmas to you all. Find Hosea 3, if you will – page 955 in your pew Bibles. I’m looking forward to tonight’s Christmas celebration with the Cross Church. I hope many of you will join my family and me for a wonderful time. Centuries before Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men, or the Shepherds … ...read more

    Speaking from the valley, not the mountain top, but the place where faith is tested, tears are shed, and questions echo off unseen cliffs.

    Go! And Walk Through the Valley with Jesus Introduction Today, I want to speak to you from the valley—not the mountain top, but the place where faith is tested, tears are shed, and questions echo off unseen cliffs.

    "My Sheep..." By Dr. Winson Butler

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 1,729 views

    It’s when the fish opens his mouth that he gets caught. We can learn a lot from God’s creatures. Another great example is the lesson we all can learn from the relationship of the Shepherd & his Sheep. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction It’s so intresting how God takes a little story and teaches with it some of life’s greatest lessons. E.G. As Jesus sat and talked with the multitudes it was never without the complainers. While planting the truth of the Gospel in the hearts of those willing to listen, He speaks a ...read more

    How Great Is Our God Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 42,992 views

    As in many other places in the Bible, Isaiah 40 gives us a glimpse into God's greatness. He is strong as iron and tender as a shepherd (10-11). Adjectives like enormous and wise fall so short when we consider His creation and counsel (12-13). Not only tha

    It's not a question, it's a statement. I probably should add an exclamation point: How Great is Our God! As in many other places in the Bible, Isaiah 40 gives us a glimpse into God's greatness.

    A leader with any great undertaking must choose his staff. Here Jesus is choosing his staff, his right-hand men, and his helpers in the days of his flesh. They were very ordinary men. Jesus saw the Jews as wandering and lost sheep straying without a shepherd.

    Slave Or Free? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 21, 2010
    based on 67 ratings
     | 31,000 views

    The world believes that if they can be free of God, they’ll be free to do as they wish? But the Bible teaches us that everyone is a slave to something, but does that really make sense?

    OPEN: I’m not sure who wrote the following words, but this story says a lot about mankind: When my oldest son was about three years old, I was outside doing some yard work one afternoon. I took Kevin outside to play while I trimmed the hedges. Holding his hand, I knelt down beside him so that we ...read more
