    Ultimately, the birth of Jesus is about who gets glory. Glory to God!

    We haven’t spent too much time thinking about the way things were in the world when Jesus was born. I listened to a talk by speaker Rob Bell this week and I started thinking about what the world was like when Jesus was born. Look at Luke 2:1. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more

    All those preparations! Does your family resemble the Crandles? Did you hear Ann’s to-do list? The to-do lists just gets longer and longer, don’t they. Unfortunately, the number of hours in a day remains the same. So, how will we get all our preparations done by Christmas? How do we prepare for the ...read more

    It seems that somehow we have lost the focus as to whose birthday we are celebrating, and it seems the focus of Christmas has been lost in the giving and receiving of gifts.

    Sunday Morning, December 12th, 2004 Let us pray. Welcome... Each day we are drawing closer home. Last Tuesday night one of our church sisters from Cleveland passed away, and on Thursday night another sister who had moved to Atlanta passed away. We just don’t know when it will be our ...read more

    The truth of the matter is that none of us are good all the time. In fact, the Bible says that’s why we have Christmas, because all had sinned and come short of the glory of God. In Matthew 1:21 the Bible says you’ll call his name Jesus for he will save

    The gifts of Christmas. Matthew 2:1 -- 12. 11/15/04 I was reading the other day some children’s letters to Santa I thought you might enjoy. One of them said, "dear Santa, you didn’t bring me anything good last year. In fact, you didn’t bring me anything good the year before that either. This ...read more

    Why was Jesus born in a manger? What does it mean to make room for Jesus in our hearts?

    The Message of Christmas By Sunny Philip Luke 2:1-12 Christmas is the celebration of the great mystery of God. The mystery is not how God became a human but why God would want to become a human being. The words of a well known hymn sum it up succinctly. I cannot tell why He, the King of ...read more

    The meaning of Christmas is when we go beyond the celebration to share with the hungry and the needy.

    At Christmas time, in many places children act out the Christmas story. In the parish where I work, it is like a street theatre. If you are travelling by the road, you may see Joseph and Mary walking on the road in search of an inn. Years ago in one place, there was a Christmas play like this ...read more

    This sermon explains the hope found in Jesus Christ.

    If I asked you to define Christmas with one word (apart from the words Jesus and Christ), what word would you choose? Would you use peace, love, joy or some other word? There are a number of words we could use in describing Christmas; however, I want to focus on the word hope. Christmas is ...read more
