Up On the Housetop
Nine things that happened
on a housetop...
...and one that really
didn't!
|
I said last week that this sermon would be 'Two Miracles and a
Lie' but there are just other things that took place on a housetop
that I couldn't leave out of this message. Ha - the Lord NEVER lets
me have a sermon done on Monday, anyway!
The One That Didn't!
The
Big
FAT
Lie
Warning: take your children away from this portion of
the sermon -
the message from this part of the sermon might cause
your children trauma that could damage them for life!
No, really? - serious? Please, no!
Santa Clause jumping out of his sleigh on the housetop where reindeer
paused, going down thru the chimney with lots of toys, all the little ones,
Christmas joys.
LIE - LIE - LIE
sorry - I know that hurts for some of you...
Parents
I know that there are many parents where this is the only time of year
they can barely semi-control their children because of the threat of Santa
not bringing the kids any toys if they were naughty. After all, he
checks the list twice to see if they were naughty or nice!
Spirit of Christmas
The 'spirit of Christmas' is truly here - the spirit of antichrist!
Christmas is about 'another Jesus' - the one that Paul warns about.
See and listen to other sermons these past few weeks!
Historical Fiction
Remember folks, even "Biblical" historical fiction is still a lie!
1.
Housetop.com
Website of a site for Spiritual Wholeness - for the ordination of
women to be priestettes in the catholic church.
Reminds me of Proverbs 21:9 and
25:24
It is better to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
2.
David and Bathsheba
II Samuel 11:2 - And
it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and
walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman
washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3.
House projects?
Deuteronomy 22:8 - When
thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof,
that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
4.
The Two Spies
Joshua 2:6 - But
she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the
stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
5.
3000 men and women on the roof when Samson pushed over the pillars
Judges 16:27 - Now
the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines
were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women,
that beheld while Samson made sport.
6.
Making booths on the roof
Nehemiah 8:13-17 - And
on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all
the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to
understand the words of the law. And they found written in the law
which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should
dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: And that they
should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying,
Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and
myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make
booths, as it is written. So the people went forth, and brought them,
and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in
their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street
of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. And
all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity
made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the
son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so.
And there was very great gladness.
7.
Healing the man that was let down from the housetop.
Luke 5:17-26
or
Mark 2:1-12
The way Jesus handles this is truly a joy to
read!
8.
Peter learning a lesson
Acts 10:1 to
2:18
A lesson that the Jews should all benefit from!
See Peter and Paul in Galatians
2:11-21 - (written before Acts
20)
9.
Don't Come Down to Get Your Stuff
Matthew 24:3-21
or
Mark 13:14-19
or
Luke 17:26-37*
also see Revelation
14:9-13
Revelation 19:17-21
I hope this housetop experience isn't going to
be yours in the near future!

the housetop -
- and learn to follow Paul's gospel today?
