    Joseph opened his heart and his home to the Son of God.

    THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST. Matthew 1:18-21. Joseph was a dreamer. This was true of the Old Testament Joseph, the son of Jacob, derogatively referred to as “this dreamer” (cf. Genesis 37:19).

    Contributed by Chris Layton on Jul 11, 2025

    In this messaeg we will look at what the Father did and not the mistakes of the Son

    Introduction: • "In Luke 15, we encounter a story often called 'The Parable of the Prodigal Son,' a title that highlights the son's wasteful choices and, in a way, keeps the focus on our own shortcomings. • But I believe this name misses the heart of the story. A truer title might ...read more

    When God Turns On The Light

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 14, 2025
     | 154 views

    Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath shows how God uses seasons of loss and exposure to bring healing and faith. When God turns on the light, it isn’t to shame us, but to lead us to confession, forgiveness, and life.

    When God Turns on the Light GM. Elijah may almost seem like a superhero when you read through some of the events in his life: He’s the prophet who calls down fire from heaven a number of times, most famously in the Battle on Mt Carmel with the Prophets of Baal. At the end of his life, he ascends ...read more

    This message describes those prepared for Christ’s coming and those who were not. The religious crowd is indifferent. The leaders are worried. A widow is watching and an old man is waiting. Magi are wandering and worshipping. Which one describes you?

    Don’t miss Christmas (portions of this sermon are borrowed from illustrations and sermons on Sermon Central) Christmas time is a time filled with traditions. There is the time to get a Christmas tree and put it up along with the decorations. There are presents to buy, so there is shopping to do ...read more

    We live in an age of rapid change. Our lives, our surroundings, our routines are constantly changing— sometimes so fast that we don’t even notice it; we can’t keep track; we can’t keep up. In the process, things that once were necessities to us become quaint, obsolete, ...read more
