Titus 2:11-14 Christmas Christians In the Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge receives a visit from three spirits, each representing the past, the present, and the future of Scrooge. Each visitor functions as a parable, and they each teach a lesson to Scrooge, which changes him from the mean, miserly, tight-wad, to the happy and generous man we see at the end of the story. Christmas changes the man. The change makes him Christ-like. We know that the... Read more

Matthew 1:1-17 O Christ-Family Tree We all have family trees which we perhaps talk about during the holidays. We spend time with the family, and ultimately stories about the family and ancestors come up. In this part of the Gospel of Matthew, we have what is called a genealogy, or a family tree. In this case, we are looking at the Christ-Family Tree. We begin with two main figures in the family history of Jesus Christ: Jesus is the Son... Read more

Isaiah 35:1-10 Putting the Holy Back in Happy Holidays

Last updated on: December 15, 2013 at 7:32 pm By Jim Erwin

Happy Holidays, folks. I know you want me to say: “Merry Christmas” and I would agree with you. However, I want to also tell you that as Christians we need to show people that the times of holidays (which are holy days in God’s view) should also be happy. The problem is that our situation is not very happy. Like in the times of Isaiah, the people around us sense that times here are not very happy. The economy is... Read more
