Just About, Nearly, Almost Christmas! - Matthew 2:1-23

It's Christmas time and the decorations are going up, the music is playing, the lights are on and the Christmas movies are back in full force! Regardless of wither there is a Grinch, an Elf or Bing Crosby belting out "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas," all Christmas movies follow roughly the same formula. Christmas is coming but oh no, there is a problem! That problem almost causes Christmas not to happen but in the end the heroes come through and we celebrate every time!

This theme of the near misses of Christmas frames up our sermon series at Summit View Church this year. We’re looking at the near misses of Christmas in the Bible. 

This last Sunday I preached a message on Matthew 2 entitled "Jesus Overcomes" looking at the six aspects of how the classic Christmas story of the wise men, king Herod and the journey to Egypt shows the sovereignty, goodness and control of our triune God over cultural barriers, tyrants, indifference, evil and every circumstance.  My hope and pray is that this message blesses you and stirs you up to celebrate Christmas.

Summit View - You Belong Week #3: "One Body, Many Parts"

Summit View Church is in a series in the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 12 called "You Belong". I got to preach this Sunday from a popular text in which Paul describes the church as a body. I cover 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 in this sermon and my big Idea: “We’re one body with many parts”

If you are a note-taker my three sub-points are as follows...

                          Unity 12:12-14

                          Diversity 12:15-20

                          Interdependence 12:21-26 

                                                                                         You can listen to this week's sermon here.
