Christmas Brightness
20001203 Christmas Brightness - Rev. Tommy Jones
Why do so many people #LightUp their yards, houses, and streets in December? From #ChristmasTrees to #parades, light shows are everywhere this time of year. Why are these lighting events held at night? How dark was the world when Jesus Christ arrived? Is there still a contrast between the darkness of the world today and the Light of the world? In addition to the darkness of sin, what other things did the arrival of Jesus defeat? The angels appeared to the shepherds in dazzling light with a message of good news and yet, the shepherds had to be told to ‘fear not.’ Why? What can we learn from their response?

Christmas Wonder
20001126 Christmas Wonder - Rev. Tommy Jones
Why did most of the world not recognize the #Messiah, the #Savior when He came to #Earth? When you don’t read #God’s #Word to find out what He says about Himself, you can miss the #truth. The world needs now as then a Comforter and a solution to the problem of sin. How did God supernaturally reveal and simultaneously protect His Son? Is there a special light that still guides us to Jesus Christ? Given the dangerous journey that the wisemen undertook to find the Lord, shouldn’t we be more diligent to seek out and attend church? What can we learn about worship from the example of the wisemen? Was there significance in the gifts they brought? Are there still any wise men and women out there?

Christmas Meaning
20001119 Christmas Meaning - Rev. Tommy Jones
As we begin the #Advent season, counting down the days until #Christmas, let’s take a closer look at the meaning behind this worldwide holiday. Is it about presents or parties? Well, without God’s gift of His Son to this world as payment for our wrongdoings none of this would be happening. Brother Tommy uses Hebrews 2 to give us the full weight of the importance of this incredible event in history. What can we learn about the God-man who came about this time of year? Why was He born to die? How did Jesus destroy the accuser? How does He conquer the tempter? What do we mean when we say that Christ has defeated sin? Where does that leave us in regards to our relationship with God? So who got delivered by this miraculous Christmas arrival?

Thanksgiving Through Thanksliving
19971123 Thanksgiving Through Thanksliving - Rev. Tommy Jones
The book of #Psalms is full of examples and exhortations of giving #thanks to the #Lord. Here in #America, we have a national holiday dedicated to #Thanksgiving. But it is a biblical practice for all Christians around the world. I was reading Psalm 100 today and verses 4 and 5 say, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”
Brother Tommy is focusing today on Psalm 116. What are four ways listed in the Psalm that we can use to offer up thanksgiving to the Lord? How can we show our thanks to the Lord beyond lip service? How often should we show our gratefulness? Even on a rough day, we can find something for which to be thankful. Why would God command this and how is it for our good? If you proclaim your thankfulness but live like you have been slighted or wronged, are you truly thanksliving?
