Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Romans 5:6-11 The pinnacle of the Advent season has arrived. Today marks the day where, for centuries, the church has celebrated heaven breaking through time and space in a grand descension to earth. God’s passionate pursuit of His people is made manifest in a lowly manger...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Philippians 2:5-11 Humility. It is a concept that is often lost in a world where the pursuit of self-promotion and esteem reigns supreme. Our culture feasts on the lifestyles of the rich and the famous— actors, athletes and musicians who spend the bulk of their energy...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Matthew 2:13-23 Buried in the beauty and grace of the nativity story is a scene of terror. When a godless king becomes aware of a potential threat to his throne, he foolishly devises a plan to use the wise men as pawns to lead him to the child in need of elimination. But as...

Read Matthew 2:1-12 It is a peculiar story. Pagan astrologers from the east journeying to Israel; compelled by a star in the night sky they claimed belonged to the newly born king of the Jews. What concern would these Gentiles have for a Jewish monarch, leading them to traverse...

Read Luke 2:25-35 How long had it been? A few days? A month? Years? Perhaps decades? Just how long did Simeon await the fulfillment of the Holy Spirit’s promise to him? He was confident he would not taste death until he laid eyes on the Messiah, but when exactly that would happen...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Luke 2:21-24 Generations of Israelite sons had been brought before the priests in dedication to the Lord. However, the presentation of this particular Son is unique. The ceremony represents a family reunion of sorts as God the Son is offered before God the Father as one...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Luke 2:8-20 When God bursts through time and space to become a human being, a grand birth announcement is in order. One would expect a far-reaching broadcast of this earth-shaping news to be blasted across the airwaves, to rulers far and wide, among the most influential with...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Luke 2:6-7 Many images come to mind when we think of royalty. Thrones and crowns, extravagant gowns and brilliant jewels, eager servants and admiring crowds. When kings and queens are present, all are aware and red carpets await their imperial footsteps. Certainly similar...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Luke 2:1-5 Micah 5:2 Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah; One will come from you to be ruler over Israel for Me. His origin is from antiquity, from eternity. God always keeps His promises. 700 years prior to Caesar’s decree, God made a promise through...

Advent, Christmas, Glad Tidings
Read Luke 1:67-80 The birth of Jesus was still months away, but through the loosened tongue of Zechariah, the Holy Spirit had a stunning message for His people. He revealed parts of the gospel that perhaps God’s people of the day were not anticipating. Two thousand years later,...
