    The First Christmas Gift

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 2,496 views

    Christmas is a time of giving, and it means that many of us need to think about what kind of gifts we plan to give to those we love.

    Why? We know that while a gift can bring joy to some, it can also bring sadness to others. For example, men have come to realize there are some things you do not buy for your wife on her birthday or at Christmas. Men who have been married for a long period of time have learned some things. • ...read more

WHO IS THAT? I am talking about Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. • It was indeed a SPECIAL ...read more

     | 6,193 views

    Instead of seeing them for who they were, Judah blames Tamar for their deaths. Because he blamed her, he outwardly played the respectable father-in-law part for society but he inwardly and secretly deceived his daughter-in-law. Judah doesn’t want to admit what a mess his family is.

     | 4,493 views

    While Mary has enjoyed high status throughout the centuries, she was the subject of gossip in her day. Mary’s scandal is this: she was an unwed pregnant teenager and all the tongues were wagging were in her small, conservative town of Nazareth.

    Christmas marks the entry of the Son of God into human affairs. He descended into the mess and the hurt of all that makes us human. Christmas tells us that God is not a neutral observer to our pain and problems.

    It’s Christmas Eve and we are grateful you are with us tonight to celebrate. I am grateful for our string quartet leading us tonight. Where would we be without the music of Christmas?

     | 732 views

    Pause and imagine Joseph explaining everything to his parents. “Yes, mom, as I told you earlier. Mary is a good young lady, and we didn’t do anything. She is “with child” because of the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t lay a hand on her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise you it’s true.”

    The True Gift Of Christmas

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,265 views

    Christmas is the celebration of a Child. Christ coming to Earth was not to establish the economic madness we call Christmas. It was to crush the head of that old serpent, Satan. It was to break the chains that enslave you. It was the fulfillment of the promise God made in the book of Genesis.

    Isaiah 9:6-7, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne ...read more
