    Christmas began in the heart of God, and finds it’s completion in the heart of man.

    WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT How are you all doing? Myself, this time of the year kind of wears me out! This week I got to thinking about what Christmas has become for most of us, and just thinking about it makes me tired! Ask any mother and she’ll tell you that at this time of year, her ...read more

    What Christmas is all about!

    ROM.14:5-6 "WHY WE OBSERVE CHRISTMAS" * Some Christians are touchy, sensitive, and full of objections about Christmas.

    Examines the attitudes and actions of each of the figures in the nativity set. If we follow in their footsteps we can be a part of the Christmas story too.

    1. Each of us have Christmas traditions. One of the most important ones for our family is putting out the nativity set. This is our family set here. Last year I brought this set and talked about the people who missed their opportunity to be a part of the story--the innkeeper, the people of ...read more

    Since Christmas is more than merely a baby in a manger, we need to celebrate this holiday realizing the full scope of Christ’s incarnation.

    Christmas In Its Christian Context Text: Isa.7: 14; Luke 2: 6-7 Intro: We Christians often complain that Christmas has become so commercialized that its real meaning has become all but totally obscured. That complaint is certainly warranted, for in the secular world, Christmas seems to be far ...read more

    Taking Christ Out Of Christmas

    What would happen if we took all of the Religious elements out of Christmas?

    Have you noticed that every year people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” then have presentations at school that make no mention of the Manger or the Wise Men let alone the Christ Child. Now I may be a little overly sensitive but ...read more

     | 3,012 views

    This sermon takes a look at Christmas through the eyes of others such as missionaries, law enforcement, and the incarcerated. It reminds us that the message of Christmas rings clear and true in spite of whatever circumstances we may face.

    THROUGH THE EYES... John 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION: A. There was nothing more exciting than Christmas when I was a kid 1. After searching the Sears and JCPenneys Christmas catalogs I had put in my order of things I wanted, but it was always a surprise as to what we would actually find under the ...read more

    UPDATED: For 2007. One thing that can’t be avoided during the Christmas season is the shopping. Here are some practical pointer’s to help out with your shopping. (This sermon ties in the Salvation message with shopping)

    A small boy was writing a letter to God about the Christmas presents he badly wanted. “I’ve been good for six months now,” he wrote. But after a moment’s reflection he crossed out “six months” and wrote “three.” After a pause that was crossed out and he put “two weeks.” There was another pause and ...read more

    Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

    The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

    Christmas Without Christ Is Meaningless

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 6, 2000
    based on 117 ratings
     | 13,554 views

    Christmas without Christ is a contradiction in terms but the antidote is to hear the Word of the Angel and the Worship of the Heavenly Choir, to follow the Witness of the hepherds and ponder the Wonder of Mary.

    Many of us have had more Christmases than we care to remember! We half dread it’s coming because of the superficial spirit brought on by the build up of publicity to enter into the spirit of the festive season. The business world, it has to be said, with an eye on the cash till, seizes upon the ...read more
