The Apostle Paul addresses several subjects in this chapter. He talks about the veil of religion being removed in Christ, hardships and trials, life and death, meaning and value.

The story of the wise men that came to see Jesus is found in Matthew's gospel. There are many things surrounding the early life of Jesus and the wise men that remain unclear. One thing that is fairly clear that differs from most nativity scenes is the wise men were most likely not at the birth of Jesus.

The arrival of the promised Messiah was an amazing event. It actually begins three months prior to the angel speaking to the Virgin Mary. Pastor goes into detail about the birth of Jesus and John the Baptist.

Throughout the Old Testament, prophecies were made announcing the Christ. Pastor examines those passages and builds the case for the virgin birth of Jesus.

Many Christians have questioned how this commandment translates into the New Covenant. Is this a strict rule governing when we worship, or was it given for our rest? This week, Pastor explores this text and what it means to us as Christians.

The third commandment in Exodus 20 says, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." This commandment is more than simply adding God's name to a four letter word. It has far more meaning than that. In this sermon, Pastor shares how this commandment can be practically followed in our lives.

We are all worshipers by nature. The question is what are we worshiping. The first commandment in Exodus 20 says, "You shall have no other gods before me." What does that mean? How can we apply that to our lives?
