MERRY CHRISTMAS
Posted by: | Comments
Merry Christmas from Broadman Baptist Church
Christmas means so many things to so many people. Some of Christmas is cultural and religious dependent. Some of Christmas is dependent upon your family traditions. Some of Christmas is historic. And the true Christmas story is Biblical. Christmas is rejected by some and embraced by others. Christmas sometimes evokes all kinds of responses. But overall Christmas is a time of love, caring, generosity, sharing, traditions, ideals, beliefs, family, and the sacred all mixed together.
Luke 2:11 “Today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, was born for you in the City of David.”
To me Christmas is about Christ. I can remember reading the Christmas story. Remember learning about the birth of Chrsit and that the Savior of the Lord was born on earth to Save us.
I also remember the traditions of singing Christmas carols, Christmas school plays, Christmas Church Services, Christmas Trees, Christmas Lights, Christmas Cookies and so much more. Christmas brings back very fond memories of peace, joy, love and faith.
I realize that Christmas may not be as pleasant for everyone depending upon the situation. But the good news of Christmas is intended for all.
Joy to the World the Lord has come!
Have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
Humbug to Hallelujah – Breaking Chains
Posted by: | CommentsFamily of God,
I just wanted everyone to know that I am thoroughly enjoying this sermon series called from Humbug to Hallelujah. This past week we talked about Breaking Chains that we have forged in our lives. We learned that we reap what we sow. If we sow with seeds of the flesh, we will reap the corruption of the flesh. However, if we sow with seeds of the Spirit we will reap eternal things, even eternal life in our lives.
Make the effort this Christmas season to break chains of bondage that have been forged by our own actions and decisions. The consequences do not have to remain links in our chain. Christ came to bring us freedom and what Jesus has set free is free indeed. Let Christ break the chains that bind you this Christmas and may you experience what it means to be free.

BREAD OF LIFE
Posted by: | CommentsChurch is supposed to be bringing the BREAD OF LIFE to all people. Too often the church has become a place of crumbs. We talk about the bread but we don’t eat often. We are so satiated by the physical realm and fleshly desires that we miss out on the food of God. We are missing out on so much.
I want to encourage everyone to Hunger for God. We have for too long deceived ourselves into believing we are well fed. We have been filling our spiritual bellies with junk food. We are supposed to be set up to be a bakery. We have the ovens, we have the Word, we have God’s spirit…but we have settled for the crumbs instead of the whole loaf.
If you were in land that was without food and you brought in sacks of rice and beans what do you think the response would be? I don’t have to tell you…you know. People would come from everywhere and would come hungry.
Are we hungry for God? If we are Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are hungry, for they will be filled.”
