What Christmas Means to Me
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
Matthew 2:1-14
In today's message, Pastor Ferrell discusses the true meaning of
Christmas.  It sounds simple, but it can become harder as we near
Christmas day.  Keep Christ in Christmas.  If we're celebrating, celebrate
for the right reasons.  Don't forget about Jesus.
Gifts For Jesus
Elder Joe James    E-mail Joe
Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Pelzer, SC 29669
When we discuss the Christmas story, we often refer to the three gifts the
wise men brought to the young child, Jesus.  Do you remember why they
came?  Do you remember what they offered?  What was so significant
about the gifts they offered?  Today's message looks deeper into Scripture
to discover the meaning of the magi's gifts.  And you're asked, "What do
you have to offer Jesus this Christmas?"
I Am the Door   John 10:1-10

sermon?  Find out behind door number one, two, or three in today's
message continuing the series focusing on the great "I Am" statements by
Jesus in the book of John.  
I Wish You Christmas
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  
Piedmont, South Carolina
In today's message, Pastor Wally shares his Christmas wishes for you
taken from Luke 1:26-38.  He wishes you: (1) The favor of God, (2) the
"nothing-is-impossible experience," and (3) total submission to God's
will.  May you have the full life changing connection with God's greatest
gift, His Son, Jesus Christ.
The Voice of Tomorrow Broadcast with Pastor Dale Swartz
A broadcast ministry of Kingdom Ministries, Inc (Litchfield, Minnesota).  
Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based ministry created to simply
and clearly proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God and to share
God's love in a practical way.  In today's message, we take a closer look of
how God worked through human history to fulfill his promises in the birth
of His Messiah.  Joseph and Mary weren't living in Bethlehem, but
prophets had foretold the Christ would be born there.  Not a problem for
God.  He used the leaders of the day to get them to the right place at just
the righ time.  Luke Chapter 2
Today's message:
Behind It All
Keeping Our Eyes Focused on the Goal
Pastor Michael Hoffman
Oregon Church of God    Oregon, Illinois
The wise men came following a star in the sky.  They came expecting to
find a king.  They came to worship Him.  Can we say we're doing the same?
14 Life-Giving Words
Pastor Alan Cain
Lawrenceville Church of God    Springfield, Ohio
In a field outside of Bethlehem, an angel announced the birth of the
promised Savior to shepherds watching their flocks.  In those words, we
find the gospel message.

Setting the Prisoners Free
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
Do you remember the first time you went to jail?  Jeff does (no, not
what you're thinking).  Apart from Jesus Christ, no one is free.  
Everyone is a prisoner to our sin.  Who will help set the prisoners free?
 Jesus has the key, and he's given it to you and me.  It is our privilege
to offer this world real freedom.
Acts 16:22-34
A More Excellent Way
Pastor James Mattison with a solo by Martha Jones Mattison
You may know the Bible from cover to cover, but without love, it doesn't
amount to anything.  That's basically how Paul puts it in today's text.  But
it's not just any love, it's a divine love, agape love.  In today's message, we
learn the characteristics of this "more excellent way" and take a look at
biblical examples of loving leadership.  Because no matter where we are,
we can always show we are Christian through our love.
1Corinthians 12:31-13:13
He Came!
Pastor E. Richard Smith
Long ago, prophets had spoken of a coming King.  For hundreds of
years, believers waited for their Savior to come.  And at just the right
time, God sent his Son into the world.  It was not what the world was
expecting.  For hundreds of years, believers have waited again to see
their Savior.  And very soon, we will see our coming King!  At just the
right time, God will send his Son back into this unexpecting world!
The Waiting Ended
Pastor Kenneth Milne
Throughout the Bible, we see the importance of sacrificial blood.  
Jesus sacrificed his own as the Lamb of God.  We see the covenant of
an everlasting throne made with King David.  We follow the inheritance
God promised to Abraham.  And we see all of these promises coming
soon to be fulfilled in the return of Jesus Christ in the holy city.  
Although we're living in a troublesome time, it's also a wonderful time.  
A time to share the gospel.  The end is nearing, and there's
something we need to be doing.  It's time to work.  It's time to share!
Soul-Winning
Fred Pensyl
2-17-1974
It may not always be comfortable.  Often, it's not.  It may not always be
easy.  It usually isn't.  But God has given us a special work
assignment until Jesus returns.  We have been given the most
important task of all: to bring lives to the saving message of the
gospel.  Fred helps us learn some practical, biblical steps to
becoming a "soul-winner" for the Lord.
The Open Bible Pulpit:  Hosea - Chapter 9 - Five Steps to Destruction
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the
book of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C).  The prophecy was not just for Israel's
future, it's relevant for our learning today.  In today's message, we
learn that sometimes it's not just the sin in our lives, it's the attitude
we have towards the sin.  How can we avoid these steps towards
judgment?

The Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ
Pastor Hollis Partlowe
Dixon Church of God  Dixon, Illinois    Read more by Pastor Partlowe
Leaving your will helps determine how your property will be distributed
after you die and to whom.  But Christ arose to execute his own will.  
That is why we have a sure inheritance and a certain assurance of our
redemption at Christ's second coming.  Our Savior has purchased us
through his blood.  Jesus has made the down payment for us and
brought a new covenant to all people.  And he's coming again to
distribute our reward!
Hebrews 8; 2 Corinthians 1:10
A New Year
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
Philippians 3:1-4:1
As we look back over the past year, we can all find some regrets and
sorrows and unexpected events.  We can all resolve to be better and
do better and to work with all our might for the Lord.  We can also learn
three ways to improve from this portion of the letter to the Philippians
from Paul.
