    Originally delivered at a high school convocation in 1995, another pastor recently asked me for these notes. Just as there was a lot of commotion surrounding the birth of God’s Son, we need to make a lot of noise about him today.

    The Night was Not Silent! Luke 2:1-20; Genesis 3:14-15 Introduction: As we approach the celebration of the birth of Christ, the beautiful scenes depicted on countless Christmas cards swirl in our heads: A quiet winter’s night; a celestial spotlight from a star shining down on a lowly stable; a ...read more

    The Extraordinary Goodness

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on May 2, 2024
     | 1,015 views

    We should not equate the Goodness of Jesus Christ, who is fully and truly God, with our ordinary understanding of what is good. As the Divine Shepherd, then, what made His Goodness extraordinary?

    “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees ...read more

    The greatest giant facing every man is sin. It is a colossal hindrance to man's quest for eternal life with God. The only Shepherd that can slay the giant of sin is Jesus Christ.

    As we envision the Nativity-—the baby Jesus surrounded by his parents, shepherds and wise men—-let’s remind ourselves that our Lord came to suffer and set captives free.

    "Freedom for Prisoners" Rev Dr Robert Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let’s also be aware of how He began His ministry.

    The Call

    This sermon speaks to the question, does God call people specifically to the pastorate? This sermon was presented in the context of inviting Salvationists to consider if God is calling them to "shepherd ministry" as a Salvation Army officer.

     | 34,616 views

    The "sign" the shepherds received was a baby in a manger. But compared to the sights and sounds of the angels in the sky... a baby in a feeding trough would seem somewhat anti-climatic. Why did God do it that way?

    OPEN: A Salvation Army woman was informed by a policeman that a local ordinance would prevent her from ringing her bells to invite contributions. She was contrite and apologetic that she had “broken” the law. But the next day she was back in front of the store… doing a brisker business than ...read more
