    Jesus is the Prince of Peace, Why am I so depressed?

    When Christmas Disappoints Us Introduction: Someone pondered what the first Christmas might have been like if wise women had come from the east instead of wise men. They would have asked for directions, made it to Bethlehem on time, helped with the delivery, cleaned up the ...read more

    Everyone seems to have their own ideas about Christmas. Many are based on traditions but few are based on the Holy Bible. Christmas is a commemorative celebration of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    INTRO: CHRISTMAS! There is a lot of talk about what it means, or at least what it should mean. Various cultures have developed different traditions surrounding this momentous event. It has certainly become significant to the retailers, since as much as 75% of their annual sales occur at this time. ...read more

    In Covid-19 lockdown, life is all about NOT being in crowds, how can we celebrate Palm Sunday

    This is the day … “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Well, I don’t know about you, but it feels more like “how shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land”. That’s from Psalm 137:4 and was the Jews response to being exiled to Babylon. WE/US Let US ...read more

    Many citizens of this country are preparing to celebrate July 4. This is a very special day in our nation.

    America is the greatest country that has ever existed on this earth. I say this not in arrogance, THAT IS A FACT! The only nation that can be considered to be equal to America’s greatness would be the nation of Israel. God blessed them in ways that no other nation can boast. For example they ...read more

    Christmas is just around the corner and for 2 years of being in a pandemic world, how can we celebrate this Yuletide season? This exhortation would take us back to the true essence and reason why there is Christmas.

    Intro: Merry Christmas to all! Good morning and I’m glad to see all of you after almost 2 years of pandemic, we still see each other again. Few days from now and Christmas is here. Though there were less festivities and less fellowships, let us all hope and pray that the true essence of the season ...read more

    Christmas: Reason To Hope

    Simeon hoped to see the messiah before he died and he did. His story teaches us something about why we hope and how to hope.

    We’ve just sung that great song by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, ‘In Christ alone my hope is found.’ That’s quite a declaration! Getty wrote the music and Townend wrote the words. Townend isn’t merely saying that Jesus is A source of HOPE. He’s saying that Jesus is the ONLY source of hope! ...read more

    12.25.19 Titus 2:11-14 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing ...read more

    We have many questions that begin with the word, "why".

    WHY? Luke 13: 1 – 9 Intro: How many questions can you think of that begin with “WHY”? 1) Why is the time of day when traffic moves the slowest called “rush hour”? 2) Why do we park our car in our “driveway”? 3) Why is the sky blue? 4) Why does our hair turn gray when we get older? 5) Why ...read more

    Why would Paul list such a long boooring list of people at the end of such a powerful New Testament book? Why waste the ink? The answer to that question is both intriguing and exciting to those of who belong to Jesus.

    I opened the sermon by asking the congregation to join with me in singing: “I’m So Glad I’m A Part Of The Family of God I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod For I’m part of the family, the family of God.” If you’re a Christian here ...read more

    Why is so much attention given to Christmas? Mother's Day, Father's Day, 4th of July, even Easter, are important holidays, but put them all together & they don't make the impact that Christmas does.

    While we celebrate Christmas, with nativity scenes and cute greeting cards, let’s remember this was a real baby; a real Man.

    “Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.” In the ...read more

    What we do for someone on their physical birthday, we should do for someone to prepare for their spiritual birthday.

    Preparing for a Spiritual Birthday 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Does God place a special meaning in our birthdays? I tried to look up the word “birthday” in the Bible. Here are the two references to birthday: Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all ...read more

    The Truest Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Jerry Stephens on Dec 3, 2014
     | 4,253 views

    At one time or another, most of us have had the experience of being on the outside looking in. More than anything else, for me Christmas is a celebration of inclusion and acceptance and restoration.

    Of all the “true meanings of Christmas,” this is perhaps the truest. When I was a boy, my relatively non-religious family had a Christmas Eve tradition. We’d have a formal, dress-up dinner, and then we’d sit together to talk, tell stories and perhaps read the Christmas ...read more

    Second in series that helps us see the importance of the birth of Christ from God’s perspective through the major prophets of the Old Testament.

    Jeremiah, like Isaiah in last week’s message, was a "seer"; a prophet who was enabled by God to see things others had not yet seen. Today’s Bible text records what he saw concerning the kingdom of Judah’s immediate and distant future. In the immediate future he saw that the king of Judah, his ...read more
