    In this sermon I want to show how all that took place in the life of Jesus was in fulfillment of prophecy.

    Scripture We have just heard the story of Jesus’ birth told in the Lessons and Carols. There is a sense in which the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is about the Lord Jesus Christ. However, we have listened to various passages of Scripture that deal specifically with the birth of ...read more

    Finding Out Who Really Cares Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 6, 2008
     | 2,585 views

    Who really cares? NOT those who are full of fear, like Herod. But those who believe from the beginning and who give gifts for the future, like the wise men; and those who sacrifice to protect, like Joseph.

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people you do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s distant, it’s limited to transactions. We deal with people who may not even ...read more

    The Nazarene

    Jesus "fills full" the prophecies that Messiah would be a Nazarene and a light to the Gentiles. His place of birth and service is part of his humiliation as God reached down to lift us up.

    Matthew 2__19-23 The Nazarene "Jesus of Nazareth" Jesus moved from Bethlehem in Judea to Nazareth in Galilee with a stopover in Egypt. Saying you are from Nazareth is a bit like saying you live in Shelbyville or Knightstown. You aren’t living in a place known for its class or appeal. ...read more
