Sermons on Still Born:

The Reality Of His Birth

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 4, 2016

As we prepare for Christmas, we must not be guilty of leaving Jesus in the manger. While I am thankful for His birth in Bethlehem, I also rejoice for Calvary. Jesus came with purpose - to die for our sin and reconcile us to God. He was born to die.

The Reality of His Birth John 12: 27; 32 We are entering that wonderful time of year surrounding Christmas. No doubt it continues to generate a lot of excitement among young and old. Although we have heard it countless times, we never tire of hearing the marvelous account of our Lord’s ...read more

Take Off The Grave Clothes

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 27, 2014

From the day we are born we begin to die. It’s as if our bodies are already dressed in grave clothes. As marvelous as science is, it has not yet mastered life’s greatest enemy, death. Yet there is one who has.

Intro What kind of life would we lead if we were guaranteed not to die? How would we live if we knew already that we were immortal like a kind of Superman or Superwoman? Goal I want us to realize that immortality is not just the stuff of Hollywood fiction but a reality in Christ. Plan We will ...read more

The 12 Days Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 22, 2015

When you view the Christmas story in Scripture, it almost seems like God didn't invest much in Jesus' birth. Lowly parent, born in a barn, laid in a manger, announced to mere shepherds. Is there something about this gift of Christ that we're missing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc00HVmkaXY (acapella – fade out at 3:00) Did you notice how much fun those guys had singing that song? That’s the way it ought to be because Christmas is a fun time of the year. There’s another Christmas song that says that Christmas is the ...read more

Don’t Keep Christ In Christmas

Contributed by David Roth on Jan 25, 2015

Advent 1 (B) Christ is more than a baby born in Bethlehem, He is King of all. We should not confine worship of Christ to the holiday only, nor failure to recognize Him as more than just a baby, but as God and Lord who will return as Judge.

“Don’t keep Christ in Christmas” J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Thanksgiving is over, and Advent is here. But our Gospel reading today presents us with Mark’s ...read more

Means Of Grace Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 21, 2012

Christmas Greeting Card Sermon V: Ponder! Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Sep 30, 2019

We were not there when Christ was born, crucified, laid in the tomb, raised from the dead but Mary was there. She pondered "these things" - as should we, and exclaim as did she: "My spirit rejoices in God my Savior!"

CHRISTMAS GREETING CARD SERMON V: PONDER! “But Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19) Once the angels had announced to the shepherds the good news of great JOY which shall be to all people, the Bible says they ...read more

Have You Seen "His Star?”

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 20, 2018

Since Jesus is called “the Star out of Jacob” (Numbers 24:17) and the “Morning Star” (2 Pet. 1:19), it doesn’t seem surprising that Jesus' birth would be heralded by a new Star. For truly, a Star had been born!

HAVE YOU SEEN “HIS STAR?” Matt. 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE UNSELFISH REQUEST 1. The Santa Claus at the shopping mall was very surprised when Emily, a young lady about 20 years old, walked up and sat on his lap. 2. Now, we all know that Santa doesn't usually take requests from ...read more

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 4, 2022

Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

The mark of a true learner is his or her willingness to be corrected of an erroneous belief or idea that would tend to deter them from seeking the truth about a subject of interest or topic of discussion. They are not so immovable in their thinking to where they refuse to consider anything else ...read more

Are You A Fan Of Jeremy Lin Or Follower Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Lee Ka on Apr 13, 2012

Now that you are born again, what's next? Paul says in Phil. 3:7-11, "Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." As follower of Christ, we need to have a renewing of our minds to this idea of "profit & loss" from a worldly vie

To start, I just want to say that I am a fan of Jeremy Lin. Because of Jeremy, he got me interested in watching basketball again. There is nothing wrong being a fan of someone you admire – just don’t make him an idol in your life. My main point today is about: Are we a FAN or FOLLOWER ...read more

Power Encounter

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Dec 15, 2008

There is a war yet to be fought, an enemy still capable of inflicting great harm...if we allow him to. We must equip ourselves by allowing the power of the Spirit to come into our lives and work through us to defeat the enemy.
