    An Old Testament Christmas

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 26, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 28,039 views

    Christmas begins in the OT with the promise of the Messiah.

    Christmas really begins in the Old Testament. The promise of a coming Messiah filled the pages of the Hebrew Bible, and the Jews were watching for his coming. It is interesting that the Jews use a different arrangement of the Old Testament books than we do. After the first five books there is a ...read more

    Learning To Worship

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 14, 2001
    based on 135 ratings
     | 9,331 views

    We learn to worship when we have a vision of who God is, understand who we are in relation to him, and learn to love him.

    I once read the story of Fritz Kreisler, the master violinist, who discovered that an Englishman had acquired a rare Stradivarius violin. After a long search for the man, he traveled to his home and offered to buy the instrument. However, the Englishman told Kreisler that the instrument ...read more

    Bless The Lord, O My Soul

    David bares his soul in recording his relationship with God - who Forgives, who Heals, who Preserves, who Provides and who Satisfies.

    Do you ever talk to yourself? In Psalm 103 King David is addressing himself. “Bless the Lord”, he exclaims, “Bless the Lord, O my soul”. It’s clear that he’s holding a conversation with himself. This isn’t by any means a unique experience for a believer. In fact it’s often a sign that a ...read more

    People of good judgment seldom rely merely on their own insights - but the Pharisees nevertheless insisted.

    People of good judgment seldom rely merely on their own insights - but the Pharisees nevertheless insisted. Like the Pharisees during the times of Jesus, the reactionaries of today like to design harsh doctrinal codes that stress a strict avoidance of worldly customs.

    How Jesus Brought Comfort To Those Who Were Hurting

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 46 ratings
     | 7,100 views

    Jesus knew how to comfort the hurting because He had compassion for the way people struggled with every problem. The Lord Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every

    Quote: Many people are drawn to the love of Jesus by His ministry of consolation more than anything else. When we are weary, stressed out or hurting, our human tendency is to call on God for help in our time of need. Illustration: For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. ...read more

    Looking at three of David’s Warriors and their commitment to him. This was first preached in 2001 and rewritten for our Minion series in 2017

    It was a time of reflection for David; 2 Samuel Chapter 23 begins by telling us these were the last words that David spoke. Now whether or not they were literally the last words that he spoke, or the last words of importance that he spoke, or the last recorded words he spoke, we don’t know. We ...read more

    Looking for Pennies (story from Annie Dillard) is important because: 1. The created world is a window into the heart of God. 2. The created world provides opportunities to praise the goodness of God. 3. The created world is a source of joy for thankful

    Annie Dillard, in her wonderful Pulitzer Prize winning book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, tells a story about pennies. It was in her chapter entitled “Seeing” that I read her wonderful childhood story. I will let her tell it in her own words: “When I was six or seven years old, growing up in ...read more

    Using the anology of Christmas trees I hope my hearers will see how they can become the best trees as we start with the root found in Psa. 1 and then the fruit in Luke 6 and finally a platform for seekers to find Jesu in the story of Zacchaeus.

    S122301 The best Christmas tree Psalm 1:1 Beginning: There is a story of the three trees growing side by side on a beautiful mountain. Each of the trees had great dreams of becoming very special.
