    Looking at the prophecies of Jesus we can see that God does care for us and that He has a plan for our lives.

    3 Prophetic Statements Sometimes life seems out of control and our response to the problems and difficulties we see around us is to fear. We worry that God either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about what is going on. We worry that evil is getting the upper hand. We worry that God can’t stop the ...read more

    The Flight into Egypt by the Holy Family reminds us that that our spiritual journey home is a long one, often through dangerous territory and requires reliance on God to be successful.

    THE LONG WAY HOME MATTHEW 2 13—21 THE LONG WAY HOME Sometimes, when we were young, we used to take the long way home, just to enjoy the scenery and the companionship. Christmas is about a lot of things, but it is at least about getting back home. We sing about it: “I’ll be home for Christmas, if ...read more

    Contributed by Jay Winters on Dec 30, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,320 views

    This was a tough text to preach on. When I went to read what early church fathers had written or preached about this text, I found that it was skipped by almost everyone from Chrysostom to Augustine. So, where angels fear to tread....here goes a fool for

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who cares more than we could ever imagine. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 30 to 150 baby boys in the vicinity of Jerusalem died. 30 to 150 little boys were taken away from their mothers in this text. An ...read more

  • Israel Reduced To One

    Contributed by Curt Cizek on Dec 30, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,556 views

    Matthew’s quotation of Hosea is extremely helpful for interpreting Biblical prophecy. God’s promises to the nation of Israel have found their fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ.

    - The first time I read our text for today several years ago, “Out of Egypt I called my son” I thought no big deal. That makes sense, Jesus is God’s son. It makes perfect sense. - Then I started to think about it some more – it says that this happened to fulfill what the Lord had said through the ...read more

    One of the greatest tragedies in the Bible is the killing of the innocents. As terrible as the story is, though, it does show us how God moves in the middle of tragedies and injustices.

    Matthew 2:13-23 “God’s Guiding Hand” INTRODUCTION While we were celebrating the gift of Jesus with our family and friends, a lot was going on around the world. Bhutto was assassinated in Pakistan causing the country to more social and political upheaval. Several of our troops were killed in ...read more

  • Finding Out Who Really Cares Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 6, 2008
     | 2,593 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

  • Joseph

    based on 35 ratings
     | 8,618 views

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more
