    Jesus Is Missing!

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 5, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,468 views

    "The Empty Manger" is about a guy who noticed the nativity display at his church was missing the baby Jesus. Everything else was there but the most important piece was missing. In life, everything else can be there but if Jesus is missing it's incomplete.

    JESUS IS MISSING! INTRODUCTION: The Empty Manger. "A number of years ago, the church I attend set up a very nice nativity set in the front of our sanctuary during the four weeks leading up to Christmas, when we observe Advent. The wise men, shepherds, livestock, angels, Joseph, and Mary had all ...read more

    She asks the question any of us would ask, “How is this going to work?” Ancient peoples may not have known the intricacies of modern embryonic science, but they knew how babies were made. Mary knew she had not yet consummated her marriage to Joseph.

    If it weren’t for Jesus, Mary would be the star of Christmas. People all over the world love Mary. Get this: there are about 4,200 churches dedicated to Mary in the United States alone.1 There are likely tens of thousands more churches named after Mary around the world, but no one knows for sure. ...read more

    There were two reactions to the birth of Jesus. The Wisemen came and worshiped. Herod was disturbed and sought to kill the child, others were indifferent. Modern nations and some world religions are still afraid of the infant born in the manger at Bethl

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,444 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

    Christmas was just the beginning of a round-trip that Jesus took from heaven to earth and back to heaven. Jesus went from sitting on a throne, to laying in a manger, to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown, to a baby with diapers, to a criminal on the cross

    The hope of Christmas is not a sentimental hope… it’s filled with sentiments of a child born in a manger… of becoming one with us… of making the world a better place… but we must shake off the sentimental hope to take hold of the substance… the prophe

    The Incarnation took immense planning; a righteous virgin and a carpenter from an obscure town, a pagan emperor taking a census, a journey, a manger, the family lineage. All of these had to be in place and timed perfectly. We serve a great God! PTL!!

    This short meditation considers no room in the inn, but also looks at the scene of Christ's birth in Bethlehem. We all have to make a response based on our acceptance or rejection of Christ's birth when He came into this world.

    CHRISTMAS GLORY – SHORT MEDITATION FOR CHRISTMAS Let us begin with a little poem. This is an acrostic poem with Bethlehem the theme. [C]. Christ was born in Bethlehem one starry summer night; [H]. Huddled in a manger’s space with animals in sight. [R]. Rejects from a comfort inn, they were ...read more

    Seven hundred years before Bethlehem. Seven centuries before a manger, a cross, and an empty tomb. God was already preaching the Gospel. The book of Isaiah is not merely ancient poetry or distant prophecy—it is a Spirit-breathed portrait of Jesus Christ.

    Looking For God In The Wrong Places

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 20, 2017
     | 9,010 views

    The sermon focuses on the unimpressive sign the angels point to: a baby in a manger. Not much that's flashy about that. What are the ways that God comes into our lives that don't initially look impressive but are important and meaningful.

    That’s All You’ve Got? Taken at face value, the angel’s sign is pretty unimpressive. - Luke 2:12. - Luke 4:17-21; Luke 4:41; Luke 5:14; Luke 13:18-21; 1 Corinthians 1:26-30. - We get entranced by the Christmas story and the swaddling clothes and manger and don’t see it for what it is.
