    We love power in all its forms. But amazingly, when God set out to save the world, He sent His Son in abject weakness. Could it be that this is His typical approach?

    Passage: Luke 2:1-7 Intro: We live in a world in love with power. 1. we cheer for the teams who can dominate their opponent. 2. we idolize the strong, the wealthy, the winners. 3. and frankly, we find ourselves a little conflicted with how God has chosen to manifest Himself to the sinful ...read more

    The wise men came to Jesus bearing gifts. The gifts recognize who Jesus was. They recognized him as divine, king, with their gifts. How do you recognize Jesus with what you give to Him and others?

He was a level headed, friend of the Romans who brought stability to the economy of Judea and built for ...read more

    What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

    What was Joseph Thinking? It may sound a little bit morbid to begin a message like this, but I have always told my wife, when I die, if she believes it can be said with integrity, I want my epitaph to include Genesis 6:22. Genesis 6:22 (NIV) 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. My ...read more

     | 4,957 views

    Surely it is good we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. But why did God send His only Son? What was the reason? It ultimately leads to the cross and forgiveness, and our salvation.

    We talked last week about “What if.” We looked at the Dickens Story “A Christmas Carol” and while acknowledging that “Christ” was not mentioned in the story, as Christians, we look for the message of Christ everywhere.
