Matthew records the greatest birth in history - the birth of Jesus Christ.

Jesus' first personal appearance after His resurrection was to Mary Magdalene--a heart-warming 'reunion' that instructs us on love and relationships that are made new as a result of Jesus' resurrection. Jesus tells Mary not to cling to Him so that she may look forward to a new relationship with Him, His Father, and His brethren. The wonderful but much overlooked doctrine of Adoption is one of the great benefits that is possible from Jesus' resurrection. "Mary!": First Appearance and Change of Relationships (Jn 20:11-18) I.

Gavin says, "we are commanded…in I Peter 2:17, 'Fear God. Honour the king' … given that Accession Day of King Charles III falls on 8 September which is Nativity of the Blessèd Virgin Mary's Day, coming ninth months after…the Conception of the Blessèd Virgin Mary, it is to be hoped that in these sad times of the mass murder abortion industry of the Western World…, that in praying to God on Accession Day such prayers as the words of the Accession Day Collect…'O God…vouchsafe so to bless thy servant our King, that under him this nation may be wisely governed,' that in this realm & elsewhere, lawmakers & judges might turn God-ward &…act to protect unborn children from being murdered in abortion." "In the matters focused on today in Old Testament Messianic Prophecies Parts 12a, 12b, & 12c, the Old Testament points at Isaiah 11:2 in what contains both specificity & yet is also a shadowy way to the details of how the specificity was to be worked out in Christ's public ministry, & so from Isaiah 11:2 we can identify in it Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the prophesied Messiah, though we don't find the greater detail that we thank God we now have in the 4 Holy Gospels ... ." "And so we shall in today's 3 sermons, be considering in connection with Isaiah 11:2 & Revelation 4:5 & 5:6, the fact that 1stly, with respect to the issue of Messianic prophecy, the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit are found in a special prophetic way in the anointing by the Spirit of the Christ as foretold in Isaiah 11:2; & 2ndly, as taught in such Book of Revelation references as Revelation 4:5 & 5:6, in a derivative way the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit are more generally found in Christian believers."

The Abrahamic Covenant included prophecy that has been, continues to be and will finally be fulfilled in the history of the people called "Jews", the nation of Israel and the person of Jesus Christ.

Christ died on the cross after the will of his Father for him in the flesh was complete. In our Lord's last few hours in the weakness of his flesh, John records a few things concerning our Savior that provoke us to consider what he was accomplishing in his redemption for Sinners who believe in him (those chosen of God).

Many people view work as a necessary evil, something to bear in order to just survive. But is that what God thinks? As we near Labor Day, Pastor Jim Scudder will show that God intended work to be a blessing, not a burden.

The story of Jesus' attendance at the wedding feast in Cana is rich in spiritual lessons for us. It also bids God's people to prepare for the greater wedding feast to come.

The Scripture: Luke 10:38-42, [38] Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. [39] And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. [40] But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." [41] But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, [42] but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." (ESV) Scheduled Publication Time 082923@1900

John 11:45-46 " Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done."

Who has loved you like Christ? Who has more power than Christ? If no one, then why would you go to any other mediator or intercessor to find salvation and access to God the Father?
