As we begin a new year, I propose that we not only need to look forward, but also backward, in some degree. Have you learned from past experiences? At the same time, be careful not to live in the past. Before we reflect back and look ahead, may we glean some lessons from the Apostle Paul.
We come now to the final part of my mini-series on the core event of this holiday season. Today, it is my intention to discuss the child born of Mary. After all, He is the crux of the matter. Without Him, there is nothing special about the story and nothing spectacular about this birth. I have talked about Mary and Joseph, now I would like to mention Jesus.
Despite your view of Christmas, the world remembers the birth of Jesus. It is indeed a fact, Jesus was born of virgin Mary. It is my intention to discuss three individuals and the important roles they play. Today, I mention Joseph.
We come to the Christmas time of the year. It is my objective to consider three people, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. It is my desire to read a little of what the Bible has to say about them, and in the end of it all, contemplate what it means for this time of year.
When you think about it, much of what we do in this life is for a future event. But, there is nothing wrong with preparation. It is, then, my objective to address the subject of being ready.
I propose unto you that all men, everywhere, as creatures of God made in His image, owe allegiance to Him. It is my objective to look into our text to prove this very thing and to remind you and me that we ought to submit to God.
With this time of year upon us, I thought it fitting to address the matter of thanksgiving. Not the history of this holiday, rather, I would take this occasion to extend a reminder to give thanks.
Does it matter what fashion a person believes? In other words, does it make a difference if belief is a head knowledge or a heart knowledge?
You are highly likely to be like those with whom you associate and your living will be most like that conduct which you regularly experience. Therefore, I wish to speak to you about exposure.
In my opinion, what we have in our text, is a prescription for revival. Psalm 86:5 says, "Wilt thou not revive us again?" I thought that it would do us well to think about revival.
