The Worst of Times--The Best of Times

Monday, December 08, 2008

Ask someone who grew up in Sunday School where the Messiah was to be born and they rattle off, "Bethlehem, of course." They can probably even tell you that this was predicted in Micah 5:2 800 years before the Bethlehem birth. But do you know how this prophecy fits into the confrontation that Micah was having with his people in 701 BC as the Assyrians besieged Jerusalem? It was the worst of times for his people, and it's the worst of times for many of us this Christmas season. Can Micah's words still give us joy, peace, and hope?

This message references: Micah 5:1

About Dave Wyrtzen

Above everything else Dave Wyrtzen is a pastor-teacher. In 1973 he sat together with about sixteen others in a small town thirty miles southwest of Dallas. These sixteen wanted someone to simply open up the pages of Scripture on a Sunday morning, help them to hear the truth, and then train them on how to live it in the marketplace. Dave is still their pastor-teacher and Midlothian Bible Church has grown into a mature church.The Spirit of God has used this church family to generate several other churches in the southwest section of Dallas.

He received both his Th M and Th D from Dallas Seminary and is an adjunct faculty member for the Seminary. Dave speaks regularly for Bible Conferences and in many foreign countries. Dave's greatest joy is his wife, Mary, their eight children (counting spouses) and eight grandkids. His life goal is to communicate God's truth through the power of the Spirit in practical, and skillful ways. Since 1973 Dave has faithfully pastored in Midlothian and through Truth Encounter we invite you to join us for his unique depth, passion, and practicality. This Bible teaching is rooted in solid study but lives in the office, classroom, and ball field.
