    A re-imagining of the role of the innkeeper in the nativity story of Christ.

    Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough--because there was no room for them at the lodging place. Luke 2:7 Now, that’s our verse and it comprises, so far as I know, everything we know about the lodging arrangements, and ...read more

    Mary has had a hectic couple of months. After Jesus is born, Mary takes a moment to reflect on what's happened. How do we use the breaks in our lives between the chaos and the crowds during the Christmas season?

    Contributed by Bryan Douglas on Dec 8, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,787 views

    God has revealed in the Christmas story a powerful "sign" of the swaddling clothes and manger which has great spiritual significance, but it has been concealed by our cultural depictions of the Nativity Scene.

    A “Sign”? : A New View of the Nativity Scene Luke 2: 1-19 As we read the Christmas story in Luke 2: 1-19, it is such a familiar passage that it is easy to just blow through it ...read more

    When Christmas is past - the joy and the glory of it - what do we have left? This sermon tells us what remains after the strains of "Silent Night, Holy Night" have ceased.

    Only The Star Remains; Isaiah 63:7-9; Matthew 2: 1-18 The miraculous, glorious birth is over. The shepherds have probably left the birth-place to return to their keeping watch over their flocks. The friendly beasts that attended this birth, feeling the stir of excitement that animals feel when ...read more

    XMAS - God chose a humble, dusty road to Bethlehem to show He walks our hardest roads today—carrying us as we carry His grace.

    Introduction — The Road No One Would Have Chosen There are certain roads in life that none of us would choose. Some roads are too hard… too lonely… too costly… too uncertain… And yet, strangely, these are often the very roads where God chooses to walk with us most closely. When we think of ...read more

    Final sermon in the Advent Series focusing on the Shepherds and their role in the Christmas Event.

    In just under two days we celebrate the arrival of Christ in our world. It is certainly more than merely the birth of a great man. Certainly more than the beginning of the Christian faith...
