God Is with Us (3 of 3)
by Jeff Schreve
A little boy was getting ready for Christmas. And he was starting early, kind of like the department stores. And he had this particular item that he really, really wanted. It was on top of his Christmas list. It was a watch. It was a special watch. It was fairly expensive. And he wanted this watch. And so at every opportunity he reminded his mom and dad about this watch. And every time they turned around he was talking about the watch. And he was leaving ads on the breakfast table about this particular watch. And everything was the watch, the watch, the watch. And, finally, his mom and dad couldn't take it anymore, and they just...
The Birth of a Deliverer
by Tony Nester
Sometimes the work of deliverance that God accomplishes in our world begins in the most ordinary of ways. In fact, the two greatest acts of God's deliverance recorded in the Bible were to the natural eye so ordinary, so unimpressive, so weak and fragile, that the world did not recognize that a Divine Deliverer had slipped on to the world's stage. As with the birth of Moses so also with the birth of Christ: God's work of deliverance begins with a husband and wife of poor means and no reputation. In Old as well as New Testament a son is conceived in his mother's womb given an undistinguished birth into the world. Moses and Jesus...
The Birth and Infancy of Jesus
by David Cawston
There is a knock on the door, and you open it to find a royal messenger ''The king is coming to your home tomorrow!'' he announces. ''He wants to visit you and get to know you.'' Then the messenger gives you a book. ''You may read all about the king this book,'' he says. ''It will help you know him better when he comes.'' When the messenger leaves, you anxiously open the book. You want to read every word, again and again. You want to know all about the king before he comes to see you. ''King Jesus, Messiah, has come,'' the book of Matthew tells us. He wants to know you, love you, and bring you into his royal Kingdom of...
The Miracle of Christ's Birth
by Chris Walls
When we consider the Birth of Christ, do we truly understand what a miracle that event was? I have a book in my library that is entitled, ''What if Christ had never been born?'' The impact of Christ on the world around us is incredible. We can look down throughout history and see the impact of Christ on the world around us. We can see it in civil-liberties, world history, science, the Arts, World Governments, Education, and Medicine. The influence of Christian people on the world has been incredible. We can look throughout history and see the way the birth of Christ has influenced the world around us. What truly makes...
The Wonderful Birth of Jesus
by Jesse Hendley
The Word of God is so beautiful! What a privilege to have the Bible in our hands! What a privilege it is to know Jesus Christ and to study about the Person and Teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and to walk with Him! As we study the four Gospels, we'll find ourselves walking with Christ. We can come to know Him as our Saviour. We can become more like Him. We can understand His mind and His heart. We can enter into a deeper knowledge of the Truth as we study the Word of God. May we approach the New Testament with reverence and with carefulness, knowing that it is the Word of the Living God. We are studying now...
The Road to Christmas - Bethlehem Birth (2 of 5)
by Steve Jones
How much does it matter where you're born? It all depends. Under article two of the United States Constitution if you want to be president of the United States it matters where you're born! That became a pretty high profile issue in the last two presidential contests, didn't it? A new word was added to the popular American lexicon...''birther.'' But can you tell anything about a person based upon where he's from? My family on my mother's side hails from Texas. They like to say, ''Don't ever ask a man where he's from, Steve. If he's from Texas he'll tell you. If he's not, don't embarrass him.'' I recently read the following: You may....
Why Do We Celebrate the Birth of Christ?
by Daniel Rodgers
1. In this passage of Scripture we have recorded for us the birth of Christ. We find the same story given in the Gospel of Luke. The Bible says in Luke 2:7, ''And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.'' 2. Every December 25th, the world recognizes the birth of Christ. And, I might add, whether or not people choose to acknowledge Jesus as the ''Reason for the Season,'' when they, by their participation in the festivities - whether it is in the giving of gifts, the tree, the presents, or in the parties they attend, the fact...
The Baby That Was More Than a Baby
by Ken Trivette
This past Wednesday, December 17th, marked the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers first flight. The occasion was marked by several festivities, special guests such as President Bush, and an attempt to re-enact that first flight in a replica of the Wright Flyer. Weather conditions spoiled the ceremony and 100th anniversary flight was not as successful as that first flight that lasted 20 seconds and 40 yards. The story is told that on that December day in 1903, after the Wright brothers were successful in getting their ''flying machine'' off the ground, they telegraphed the message to their sister Katherine: ''We...
It Was the Birthday of a King
by James Merritt
1. Ironically, the time of year called Christmas is a time of both celebration and separation. Because at no other time of the year is the Christian more separated from the world than a t Christmastime. The world celebrates a season, but the Christian celebrates a savior. 2. Whether this world likes it or not, and increasingly the world doesn't like it, Christmas is the celebration of the birthday of the lord Jesus Christ. Now there are some people who will be so drunk they will not know whose birthday it is. There are some people who are so devious they want to forget whose birthday it is, and there are some people who are so...
The Grace of Christmas (1 of 4)
by Stan Coffey
I want to begin a new series of messages on the Christmas story. What a wonderful time of the year this is. I was reading the other day about a little boy. Children are so honest. He had received a Christmas present; he was writing back to his grandmother. He said, ''Dear Grandmother, Thank you so much for the wonderful Christmas present. It was almost as good as the one I really wanted.'' Thank God we have a Christmas present in the Lord Jesus Christ: He's not only the One we wanted, but He's also the One we needed. In Matthew 1, you find the genealogy of Jesus. As we begin this series, we're going to look at Matthew 1...
The Birth of Christ
by Jason Dees
So, over the next 4 weeks at Johnson Ferry as we prepare for Christmas or the Advent (the word advent is Latin for coming, the coming of Christ) as we prepare for the coming of Jesus we are going to be thinking about that larger story and looking at just a few of the stories within the genealogy of Jesus. Now the genealogy that we see in Matthew, at the very beginning of the New Testament, does something that really no ancient genealogy does. It includes women (four in particular) and as we are going to see over the next 4 weeks these 4 women all have an interesting story, they were all foreigners, their stories...
Absolute Necessity of the New Birth
by Robert Dawson
Alexandria Flynn, from Fremont Nebraska, was all dressed up with nowhere to go the night of her school's homecoming dance in 2002. It was not for a lack of effort. Alexandria went to the dance but was denied entrance by the man guarding the door because she forgot her student I.D. Alex went home to get her I.D. but she could not find it so she brought the next best thing, her mom. Even with her mother in tow the man would not allow Alexandria in. They explained to the man how she was student body president, a member of the all-state orchestra, a perennial honor-roll student, captain of the cheerleaders and no entrance...
The Virgin Birth (6 Of 15)
by Clarence E. Macartney
Without God the Virgin Birth was impossible; but with God it was not only possible, but a historic fact, one of the great foundation truths upon which stands the glorious structure of the Christian faith. The first doubter, although in a quite different spirit from that of more recent doubters, was the Virgin Mother-to-be herself. When the angel came to her at Nazareth and told her that she was to bring forth a son whose name would be Jesus, she was espoused to Joseph but not yet wedded to him. It was not strange, then, that the amazed damsel wondered how this could come to pass; how, not yet married, she could give birth to...
The Christmas Gift From God
by Jerry Watts
Most of us know the joy and expectation of that one family member who always gives us our favorite gift each year. They may be the cool aunt or uncle or even that wealthy family friend. But whoever it is in your family, you always look forward to that special gift. It's going to be cool, right, and perfect. Christmas time has always been about gifts. Have you ever set out to read all you can read about the history of Christmas? Having been incarcerated in my home (with my sickness) for the last couple of weeks gave me some time to read and I discovered that some contend the Christmas celebration goes back several thousand...
Jesus' Birth Was Supernatural (3 of 5)
by Richard Bradley
Was Jesus' birth supernatural? If we only had verses one through seven to go on it wouldn't appear so, would it? But then beginning with verse 8 Luke reports a whole new dimension to the story. The actual event of Jesus' birth was not unlike the birth of any other newborn that night. To Mary, His mother, it surely seemed the same. To Joseph, the supposed father, it must have seemed the same as he attended his wife. But the story of Jesus' birth doesn't end there. Because while all this was going on in a lambing cave outside of town Heaven was supernaturally breaking through to communicate with a handful of lowly...
The Incarnation and the Birth of Christ
by Charles H. Spurgeon
This is the season of the year when, whether we wish it or not, we are compelled to think of the birth of Christ. I hold it to be one of the greatest absurdities under heaven to think that there is any religion in keeping Christmas Day. There are no probabilities whatever that our Savior Jesus Christ was born on that day, and the observance of it is purely of popish origin; doubtless those who are Catholics have a right to hallow it, but I do not see how consistent Protestants can account it in the least sacred. However, I wish there were ten or a dozen Christmas Days in the year; for there is work enough in the world, and a little more...
The Virgin Birth
by Chris Walls
The virgin birth has become one of the most debated doctrines in Christianity. Next to the resurrection of Christ the virgin birth has become one of the most controversial topics in Christianity. It is something that in many ways is essential to belief of Christians. Why? You might ask, because as R.C. Sproul says, "To deny the virgin birth is usually linked to the denial of the supernatural or miraculous elements of scripture." That is what most of those who want to deny the virgin birth is actually denying, the supernatural aspects of scripture. The question comes, "What are some of the arguments against the virgin birth?" 1) The...
The Christmas Birth (3 of 4)
by Tony Thomas
I heard about an unbelieving uncle who tried to undermine the faith of his nephew every chance that he had. They were walking around the family farm when the uncle said, ''If God created the world, he made some big mistakes.'' His nephew listened respectfully without saying a word. ''Look at that big pumpkin on that tiny vine, and that tiny acorn on that giant oak tree. Does that make sense to you?'' They walked a frew steps in silence and then the uncle announce, ''If God knew what he was doing, he would've put the pumpkin on the oak tree and the acorn on that flimsy vine.'' Just then a gut of wind caught that oak tree...
