Everyone wants to know about the end times. Admittedly, some don’t want to know the details of the end times because the details bring fear...but all want to know...are we about to see Jesus on the clouds and are we on the edge of Judgment Day? Anyone who’s seriously studied the Bible knows that you cannot know the exact date, but they also know that the Bible doesn’t leave us without clues. So, are we living in the end times or last days? We’ll seek understanding of that difficult question toda...

This question is often on the hearts and minds of those outside the Christian faith but it also weighs heavily on the hearts of those who know Jesus as their Savior too. Is God seeking out those who are in remote places? Is God bringing the Gospel of Jesus to people who don’t have the freedoms and the access that we do? What about them? We’ll seek understanding to this difficult question today all the while remembering God’s goodness and grace and mercy and desire, that all be saved and come to ...

“Help Me Understand: How Much Sin Can I Get Away With?” While we’d hope no one would actually ask this question, some times we do live this way. We live on the edge. We live for ourselves. We live as if God isn’t even watching and watching every single move we make. So...how much sin can I get away with and still go to heaven? We’ll seek understanding for that difficult question today while we remember that Jesus came to rescue us from the guilt of sin but that Jesus came to rescue us from sin.....

When we read the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, one of the strangest things that we come across is Jesus talking as if He’s disconnected or separate from God the Father. When we read Jesus’ prayers or even the fact that He’s praying at all...we can walk away feeling that He is indeed the Son of God, but that’s it. So is Jesus the Son of God or is He God? We’ll seek understanding for that difficult question today and the importance of His Divine nature for our salvation!...

Can you even imagine that first Christmas night? All of the angels? The brilliance of the glory of the Lord? The amazed and crazed shepherds running to Bethlehem and shouting the news? The magnificent star lighting up the sky? Joseph and Mary the proud new parents? The scene plays out before us and it is a glorious one, an amazing one! It’s a full-blown Broadway drama with the star of the show being the King of kings and Lord of lords! But think about it for a moment Christian...the Creator of t...

As we turn this week from Joseph to Mary, we need to look back on what the angel told Joseph, namely, “You shall call His name Jesus because He will save His people from their sins.” Why? Because one of the people that Jesus saved from their sins was none other than His own mother, Mary. Mary knew it. Mary proclaimed it. Mary sang it. Mary made it known. God was her Savior. As Luke records what is called “The Magnificat” we read these words: “Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit...

There’s always a “behind the scenes” or “unsung” character in every story or narrative. Joseph certainly isn’t an absentee daddy but we really don’t know very much about him. What we do know is this however...he was a man of God, worthy of our respect, a quiet giant to be sure. Not only did he intend to honor Mary by keeping the whole “pregnancy thing” quiet, but he also showed Himself to be a man of God as He simply obeyed the direction of God and did as he was told. Best of all? He followed Go...

We come across an amazing set of characters today. While they were not at the manger/stable when Jesus was born, they do give us an amazing glimpse into our wonderful God. The Wise Men as they have become known by, were likely Medo-Persians who met up with the Jewish nation in Babylon. In other words, God disciplined His children by sending them to Babylon and He did so not only to discipline them, but to bring saving knowledge of the Savior of the world to the Medo-Persians as well. This is sim...

What an amazing truth the star brings to us today. We could make the application that the brilliantly shining star in the sky was just an imagery that pointed to the brilliantly shining Son of God it was meant to point to. Jesus is the light of the world and the star helps us remember that truth! But it was more than an illustration, wasn’t it? It was actually a reminder that the Lord doesn’t leave us without directions pointing to His love and mercy and grace. The world around us certainly poin...

Amazing to visualize what happened on the hillside that first Christmas night. Can you imagine the concert that the shepherds were privy to? Can you imagine the sound of the voice of an angel of the Lord and the voices of the combined heavenly chorus singing to God on the night Jesus was born. Today’s reminder is that you don’t have to wonder forever. You can speculate and wonder in this lifetime but some day you will stand with all the redeemed and not only hear the voices of the angels singing...

Why Are They Here?” (Shepherds) Luke 2:8-18 PJM. The shepherds are one of the most loved characters in the Christmas narrative. They were chosen. They were amazed. They were afraid. They were excited. They were great. But they were also...not very well liked. When the Lord chose to come to the shepherds, He chose men who were thought of poorly in the culture of their day. And yet, He chose them anyway, didn’t He? This is a message for all of us. It is not about you or who you are...it ’s all abo...
