Part 3 of our Christmas series, guest speaker Dan Manson, preaches from Luke 2:1-38.
The Scriptures Build You Up
(Acts 20:32)…..“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
So many today don’t really know what is in the doctrine of the Bible because they have never bothered to see what God has declared in it. What is sad about that statement is that there are many professing Christians who fall into that very category, whether by choice or by mere ignorance. Many simply shy …
Lord, Please Don’t Ever Let Me Deny You
(Matthew 26:31-35)…..Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” 33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [b]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.” 34 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this …
My Spiritual Man Needs Food
(Matthew 4:4)….. But He answered and said, “It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'”
How important is the word of God to your life? Very, very important. So many don’t realize that the Scriptures (the very word of God), is crucial to your very survival. So many don’t realize that they are anemic, weak, and without any real joy in life, because of their lack of exposure to God’s word. One may neglect the Word of …
The Fullness Of God Made Flesh
Matthew Henry (1662—1714) was a Puritan pastor, author, and theologian. Henry is best known, of course, for his six-volume commentary on the Bible.
In his Commentary on Luke 2, Matthew Henry writes:
LUKE 2:8-20
The meanest circumstances of Christ’s humiliation were all along attended with some discoveries of his glory, to balance them, and take off the offence of them; for even when he humbled himself God did in some measure exalt him and give him earnests of his future exaltation. When we saw him wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger, we were tempted to say, “Surely …
Life, Grace, Mercy, and Peace
(1 Timothy 1:2)….Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord
When I think of this time of year I am reminded of the hustle and bustle of the commercial world, where people are running frantically into debt while trying to please people with gifts they will never use. No, don’t get me wrong, I love the whole Christmas traditions like anyone else. I just think we forget that the gift of Jesus Christ from the Father (Isaiah 9:6) is the best gift any person could …
Our God Is Faithful
How do we know that God is faithful? Well, the Bible tells us that He is (Exodus 34:6) (Psalm100:5) (Psalm 117:2). But we also know by experience, at least that should be part of our testimony as Christian’s, right? What the Christian should know of his/her God is that He is faithful to His name (Psalm 106:8), and faithful to His character. One of the most powerful words to describe God’s character is the Hebrew word “hesed” which is translated “steadfast love” (Deuteronomy 7:9). Wow! He is also …

Holding Fast To Sound Words
The words of Paul (and the other apostles) are sound words that we must hold fast to. What is sound doctrine you may ask? The word sound means, sound health, to be well, to be uncorrupt. The words that Paul and the other apostles spoke (concerning the gospel) were sound because they are the words of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13), and they are the commandments of the Lord (1 Corinthians 14:37).
We are to hold fast to them (the pattern of sound words doctrine) by continuing in them …
