The Heredity of Christ- 2:1f Jesus' genealogy had a few black spots in it, but Jesus didn't ask His biographers to hide them. He was not ashamed to make public His human pedigree, and this suggests that He will never be ashamed of His present or future family tree, which include you and me. The fact that He did not seek to erase some of the names from His genealogy is proof that He is not interested in erasing our names from the Book of Life, just because we are not perfect....

Greatest Fact of History- 2:1-12 Whenever I try to comprehend the simple truth that Christ left heaven for me personally, I am absolutely astounded. Why would the God of creation leave His throne and be born in a manger to pursue one of His creatures? Why should He leave the glory of heaven to suffer such a horrible death on the cross for me? Yet the greatest fact of history is that Jesus Christ did exactly that. He, who had dominion over all powers, subugated Himself to human flesh. He could have sent an angel, but He came in person that starry Bethlehem night to claim us for Himself....

What Will You Give?- 2:1-12 The greatest Christmas gift ever given was given by God to us when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Have you given any thought as to what you will give Jesus this Christmas? Have you included Him on your Christmas list? If there is anyone who should receive a gift this Christmas, it is Jesus! What can you give Him? He owns the universe and all that is in it. What do you give someone who literally has everything? ...

Visit of The Wise Men - 2:1-12 "When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy!" The star carries significance and joy. This story inspires us to worship. Those men of old flung aside their idolatries, and bowed before the living baby Jesus. This has been going on in the world ever since that day. The old gods go, and the living Christ rules in the hearts of people. We open our treasuries and give gifts to the Christ. This is a motivating story! The vision of the star compelled the wise men to take a journey....

They Were Wise- 2:4-12 The Bible doesn't tell us how many Wise Men there were. The Bible doesn't refer to them as kings. The Bible focuses more upon the gifts they brought than upon them. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh....

Ask - Seek - Find- 7:7-12 Jesus urges us to ask, seek and knock in spite of the darkness and doubts. Jesus invites us to grow through commitment and persistence. What we have lost in our daily routine is a passion for the holy. As we make our commitments, it is not a matter of "here we go again," but rather our effort to rekindle our passion for God. Jesus challenges us to bring a whole new perspective to faith. He bids us to ask expecting an answer; to seek anticipating God's will; to knock confident that the way will be opened to us. It is this perspective that enables us to say yes to Jesus and to plow through the empty and dry times in life to experience the power and presence of God. ...

The Unpardonable Sin- 12:31-32 During His earthly ministry Jesus added another element to the matter of salvation by saying that there is a sin that drives God away from us. It is a sin that will not be forgiven. It is absolutely unforgivable! It is an unpardonable sin! What is the unpardonable sin? ...

Jesus Is Greater- 12:42 "And Solomon's provision for one day was 30 measures of fine flour; threescore measures of meal; 10 fat oxen; 20 oxen out of the pastures; 100 sheep, beside harts, roebucks, fallowdeer, and fatted fowl. For He had dominion over all the region..." But with all the abundance Solomon had; he could not, as Jesus take 5 loaves and 2 small fish and feed 5,000 hungry men besides women and children. Solomon could not, as Jesus, change water into wine. Solomon could not touch his fingers to the eyes of a blind man and say, "Receive your sight!" But Jesus did!
"The Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins." "Behold, a greater then Solomon is here!"or He had dominion over all the region.. -- From sermon by Dr. R. G. Lee

Little Things Mean A Lot- 13:31 There are many who have a problem in our churches of confusing size with significance. They also mistake quantity for quality. We are so victimized by bigness that we have come to believe that bigness is equivalent to significance. We must remind ourselves of the importance of the little things in life. ...

Christ's Great Compassion - 14:14 When He saw the multitude, He had compassion on them and healed their sick. He is ready to bring healing to those who are sick of soul. There is no burden so heavy that He cannot lift. There is no heartache that He cannot heal. He will have compassion on you in your need if you will allow Him. I want to you to picture in your mind that great multitude on which Jesus had compassion. I want to tell you about some who came to Jesus and found help and healing. ..

Deacon Ordination- 20:20-28 In this passage the quality of humility is added to our conception of the word "deacon." It is not just service, exalted as that ideal may be, but a genuine consciousness that, in that service, there is to be nothing of self or self-seeking. The deacon is to serve, and that service is given so naturally that the deacon is unconscious of the service he renders. The service flows from the Christ within because He is within. It is without conscious thought of doing good, but it is an inevitable expression of the character of love. which Christ Himself had for suffering humanity....

When you do really care for someone, you are really expressing your love to your Saviour, who expressed His precious love for us on Calvary. All compassion withheld, is also withheld from Christ. (vs.41-45) This should make us stop and think. Having compassion and acting on it, is an evidence of your love for Jesus. ...

Jesus Lives- 28:1-10 On the third day He rose victorious over death and sin! He is both Saviour and King! They couldn't make the tomb strong and secure enough to stop Him rising! The earthquake and the angel only confirmed that He was already alive from the dead! The guards and the women were just doing their duty. They were following the routines set down for them by generations of custom and practice. But in the course of doing their duty, this great extraordinary event unexpected had interrupted their routine. The guards found that they were guarding an empty tomb, and the women found that their embalming spices were unnecessary! Jesus is not dead - He has been raised! What have you been doing this past week in the course of your duty? ...

What an hour for missions and evangelism!

God is in the people business. The great passion of the heart of God is to reach people. The coming of Jesus Christ into human history was for the express purpose of bringing people to know Him as Lord and Saviour. ... The church that justifies its reason for existence is concerned for reaching people. No church can be worthy of its high calling before God if it tries to stay in a private, undisturbed corner and ignore people. ...

Why This Waste?- 14:3-9 Today's mothers are educated, active, wide awake women, who dress in the latest fashion, have stylish hairdos, and hold positions of responsibilities and trust in many different businesses and professions. Why should educated, talented, beautiful, capable, and ambitious women be tied down by motherhood and the monotony of homemaking? Why should yesterday's school queen become today's household slave? Why should she give up some of the great crusades of life, and settle for the tedious task of seeing that baby gets his bottle? The thing that seems to be waste becomes the most productive task a woman ever does when she begins to see it as something other than a person to keep her from achieving. Not speaking idealistically or romantically, but very realistically, what is mother in the home? ...
