Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people—and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior. In recent years, you have noticed a shocking failure on the part of pastors to bring forth this good news. The Incarnation. Angelic visitations. Kings and wise men seeking and worshipping the newborn Babe. God wrapped in human flesh! Everyone involved rejoicing exceedingly at the hearing of it! Of a truth, it is one of three Great Events of history. Yet today the church avoids it. Avoids celebrating and sharing His triumphant ...

Advent to Epiphany is the first volume in the From Text to Sermon series designed to help pastors and their flocks better understand the rhythm and purpose of the Christian calendar. As Christians, we view time from a different perspective than the rest of the world. We may use the same seconds, minutes, hours, dates, and days, but we view the meaning and purpose of history and the future by considering God’s actions through the children of Abraham and through His only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Certain events in the Bible, though over two thousand years old, provide the key to ...

The Bible refers to God's grace as God's throne - "throne of grace" - where the believer enters boldly. The Lord rules the world by grace from his throne. I pray I can help the reader see how this actually plays out and gives meaning to "saved by grace" in each individual life. Grace, as we will see, is God's moving upon our hearts and using our abilities and gifts. It allows each of us to accomplish the things for which God saved us. God's grace is supremely important, but exactly What Is Grace?

There are some events which occur at regular intervals throughout the course of one’s ministry, as each year passes, namely the major Christian festivals. Unless a minister is particularly gifted, which I am not, this can present a problem, the problem being How do I come up with something new each year at Christmas, Easter and so on? One solution is to move to a new church at short intervals, but I wouldn’t really recommend this! The other solution is to take advantage of the vast number of resources we have nowadays and seek inspiration from books and material easily found on the ...

Tired of Advent that feels like going through the motions? Discover Christmas through the Gospel that changes everything. After thirty years of preaching traditional Advent sermons, Pastor Jon Burnham made a discovery that transformed how his congregation experiences Christmas: What if we let John's Gospel tell the Advent story? "Advent Through John's Gospel" offers something radically different from typical Christmas resources. Instead of racing toward Bethlehem's manger, this seven-week journey slows down to explore what it actually meant for the Word to become flesh. No shepherds. No ...

From the earliest days of the Church, Christian theologians have marveled at the paradoxes found in the incarnation. Among the earliest expressions of this marveling comes from St. Augustine, the most influential theologian in Western Christianity. Augustine was born in 354 in Thagaste, a Roman city in modern Algeria. A brilliant thinker, he initially rejected Christianity as an intellectually empty faith, despite the faithfulness of his mother. After wandering through various pagan philosophies, the equally brilliant St. Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, showed him how Christianity was superior...
