Theme: Why did Jesus’s birth have to be a virgin birth? Jesus is showing us in his birth what he will do in the new birth for you and for me, it is called the resurrection. He had to be born in a very unique way, unlike any of us, because he would also rise from the dead in a unique way. God wanted to restart humanity in his grace.

Theme: Why did Jesus come into our world in the form of an infant? When Jesus came into our world, God wrote himself into our history. We cannot go back and change the past, but God in his power comes and he reconciles past, present and future. Jesus came to fight the two enemies that we cannot conquer: death and Satan. The incarnation is pointing forward; God will always get the glory in the end. If we are in Christ, one day we will have the body and the right to reign with him.

By Pastor Glenn Pease G. A. Studdert-Kennedy wrote a poem called "Faith," which has become very widely quoted. Let me share the whole of it with you. How do I know that God is good? I don't. I gamble like a man. I bet my life Upon one side in life's great war. I must. I can't stand out. I must take sides.…

Intro – Read Luke 2:39-52 – Lu 2:39 is a transitional verse taking us forward from the birth of Jesus. He tells us in Lu1:2 that he had interviewed eyewitnesses – one of whom had to be Mary herself. Luke has information that could have come from no other source. Don’t you wish you could have been a fly…

"A Miraculous Birth" Isaiah 7.14 / Matthew 1.18-23 Having concluded our study in Philippians and moving forward into the Christmas season, I thought it would be helpful for us to look at a couple of biblical texts to prepare our hearts and minds for the birth of our Savior. What I will look to do is…

By Pastor Glenn Pease We instinctively feel a oneness with those who have had a common experience with us.

“Glory Revealed” John 1.14-18 I chose this passage this morning because it is included in many songs we sing during the Christmas season. And I have always been intrigued by some of the language that the Apostle John uses here. And so I must admit I was driven by some of this fascination and wanted to…

As a young Christian, new to the faith, Genesis 3:9, 11a puzzled me; God was asking questions as if He did not know the answers. It would take many years before I understood what God was doing, and by then, I had moved on to more puzzling and not so puzzling Scriptures. Here is how God revealed what…

John 9:1-7 There are a few things I am good at, but many things I'm bad at. Still other things I'm absolutely terrible at. Among them, I am a terrible patient.

HUMAN CONSTITUTION: Monism-Dualism Dichotomy-Trichotomy Dr. Steve Tracy Phoenix Seminary TH 502, Fall 2008 Most religious traditions recognize that humans are unique and complex, being made up of what appear to be material and immaterial parts. Are humans in fact made up of material and immaterial? If…

Tabernacle 4. [P] Who plays with lego? Its worth having children just so you have the excuse! House that Hannah built. Well, we did it together. But we can’t claim the credit, we didn’t design it. The person who thought it all is the clever one – there is a plan – I pick out the pieces that it says are…

Several have issued some concern of my using the terms “trash” and “worthless” to describe the human condition apart from God. In an effort to never allow my personal words to offend and, yet, to still stand on the Scriptural integrity and authority of the Word of God, I am submitting this brief bit…
