    The Wise Wife

    Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 26, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,528 views

    At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

    There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more

    The story of Jesus does not begin with His earthly life, but with His eternal life. To really understand and appreciate Jesus we must know the whole story.

    Christmas Through The Eye Of Joseph

     | 3,931 views

    The love Mary & Joseph had for each other, coupled with the love they had for God, culminates in one of the greatest love stories ever told - the story of Christmas.

    Christmas: From Joseph’s Eyes I’ve watched the Jerry Springer Show a few times. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Jerry Springer junkie, but the few times I have seen the show has given me a pretty good idea of how that program operates. You bring people onto the show with really messed up ...read more

     | 5,364 views

    The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal is a classic. What we sometimes forget is that a memorial, an altar to the LORD, was already there before Elijah came! The rest of the story is gripping!

    Introduction: The days of Elijah were some of the best and some of the worst in Israel’s history. One of the highest points took place when God responded to Elijah’s prayer in a way that nobody could deny. Not only did this take place in the presence of pagan prophets, the event also took place ...read more

    A Lesson In The Leftovers

    Undoubtedly many have heard this passage of Scripture before and hopefully, many have read this story. This is the story of where Jesus feeds the multitude, the five thousand.

    What a miracle to perform. I cannot imagine trying to feed that many people. No doubt there are quite a few mothers out there that would find that a daunting task. Can you see five thousand people coming through your door, walking to the dining room, either trying to find a place to sit or going ...read more

    Every person in Jesus’ family tree has a story and actually their story plays a part in the first Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, God incarnate.

    Everything Falls Apart Series

     | 2,829 views

    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more
