Only one human conception and life was more miraculous that any other in all the history of creation, because only one man was born to a virgin, and that is Jesus. In this message, we explore the wonder and significance of the conception and virgin...

Miscellany Topics! Today's message concludes the mini-series that started on Christ's Incarnation. We lightly touch on WHY and WHAT the Christians ought to be doing when they gather together as a local church. We also lightly touch on WHY and WHAT Christians ought to be doing when they are dispatched to go into an unbelieving culture, world.
John 17 In our current (temporary) series of messages on Christ's Incarnation we have paid particular attention to the fact that Christ was SENT on a MISSION by the Father. One of the important implications of this mission is something Jesus told His disciples after His resurrection in JOHN 20:21b: "As the Father has sent Me, even so I am sending you." I am of the sound conviction that this instruction continues to be Christ's charge to His Church -- including ours! One of the evidences of that deduction/determination stems from Jesus' "High Priestly" prayer as recorded in John, chapter 17.
John 20:19-23 In this third message pertaining to Christ's Incarnation, we hone in on the SIGNIFICANCE that Christ was SENT on a MISSION by the Father and the IMPLICATIONS for us. My Main Point from the start: Christians are called to intentional (missional) living.
Philippians 2:1-11
John 1:1-14 ; Philippians 2:6-8Breaking from our normal series from the Epistle of James, today we consider the INCARNATION of Christ -- and the four themes (or points of emphasis) used to teach us about this important doctrine.
The good news of Christmas is the coming and indwelling of Jesus Christ our Lord. This is the eternal plan of God, to send Jesus, who is fully God and fully man into the world as the Savior to all the people. Wrapped up in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, we notice from our two verses this morning, is the essence of why Jesus came in order for us to rejoice and give Him praise.
At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus as Immanuel -- God with us! But why did God have to become a human being in order to save us, and why is the doctrine of the incarnation so vital to the life and health of the church? I'll talk it over with pastor and speaker Rev. Melvin Tinker, author of the new book, "Veiled in Flesh: The Incarnation; What it Means and Why it Matters." That and more on Monday's JANET MEFFERD TODAY.
He was a Galilean, the son of Alphaeus, and was originally named Levi. He was a tax-collector (an occupation despised by the Jews of Palestine) until he met the Lord, who said to him, "Follow me." From that day he was one of the disciples. After the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the Apostle was appointed to bring the Gospel to his fellow Jews, for whom, according to the Church's tradition, he wrote down the Gospel for the first time, in the Aramaic language, eight years after the Ascension. Some years later, this book was translated into Greek by St James, the first Bishop of Jerusalem. No copy in the original language has survived. Later, St Matthew traveled to Parthia and the city of Hierapolis (on the Euphrates river) to proclaim the Gospel to the pagans there. One tradition holds that he reposed in peace in that region at a great age. Another tradition holds that he was martyred by a king of that region, who later repented and was baptized, taking the name Matthew. The king then cast down the idols and established the Christian faith in his realm. When St Matthew is portrayed in icons, the likeness of a man is shown with him, one of the four living creatures spoken of in the first chapter of Ezekiel. St Irenaeus writes that the man symbolizes Christ's Incarnation.
Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Was Mary really a virgin? How is Jesus both fully divine and fully human. These questions plus Santa punching someone are explored in this episode of the Theology Taco! podcast.

Christ lives and walked among humans on this earth nearly 2,000 years ago, but what happened to him after his ascension? We often neglect to realize his continued incarnation. What implications does Christ's present incarnation have in our lives? Jonathan discusses these matters here.

Our Gospel story for this weekend is the narrative of the man born blind. In the Bible generally and in John particularly, sight is used as a metaphor for spiritual vision or faith. Therefore, the man born blind is every one of us, born in the state of original sin. The Church, through the sacraments, offers us the salve of Christ's Incarnation so we might be converted, healed, baptized, and attending Mass in right praise.
The team discussed Mark Shea's "Work of Mercy", how the Works of Mercy highlight Christ's Incarnation, and the radicality of Christian love and mercy. The post Catholics Read Work of Mercy appeared first on Cradio.
It is like a liturgical baton, the approaching season of repentance has already started running while the end of the season of Christ's Incarnation runs to catch up to hand off the liturgical baton.
Luke, Kiara and Victoria discuss why faith is more than feelings, how The Trinity is like a dance which He created us to participate in, and why through Christ's Incarnation and Death we become part of God's Divine Life. The post Catholics Read Mere Christianity: Part IV appeared first on Cradio.
