    Joy At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 20, 2025

    This sermon proclaims that the true joy of Christmas is not found in changing circumstances or earthly comfort, but in the unshakable, eternal joy that comes from God drawing near in Christ—who lived, suffered, died, and rose again to secure our salvation and remain with us through every trial.

    To begin our discussion this morning, let’s do a quick, informal congregational survey. I’m going to describe a few scenarios. If the scenario brings you joy, give me a thumbs up. If it brings discomfort, frustration, or sorrow—give me a thumbs down. Just respond honestly. First scenario: ...read more

    Where Does Love Come From?

    If we center ourselves on God, abiding in His giving love, there could be no avenue for the works of the flesh to enter into our lives.

    For this passage of Scripture, we need to understand the four types of love. There is the Agape – unconditional love (Godly), the Philia – beneficial love (brotherly), the Storge – family love, and the Eros – romantic love. In verses 7-8: Everybody accepts that love is significant, yet we ...read more

    The harvest is ready but the laborers are few! We haven't much time left to bring the lost sheep into the Lord's fold. If we truly love him, we should be about the Father's business.

    How many of you love St. Peter jokes? Here is one which I hope ties into our message for this morning. It goes like this: A man arrives at the gates of heaven. St. Peter asks, "Denomination?" The man says, "Methodist." St. Peter looks down his list, and says, "Go to ...read more

    Winning over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord doesn't come from telling them to change their ways. It comes from following Jesus' command to love others as we love ourselves.

    How can we win over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord? It's not by pointing out their faults or telling them how to change their lives. Instead, it's by embodying what Jesus taught us: to love others as we love ourselves. Love is a powerful force that can transform lives. In 1 John ...read more

    But, as is usually the case, the Word of God contradicts the word of the world, and tells us that “God is love,” not the other way around.

    God’s Love 1John 4:13-21 I think it’s safe to say that the one thing our world truly needs today is love. Songs are written about it all the time. John Lennon wrote the song “All You Need is Love.” Dionne Warwick made famous the song, “What the Word Needs Now is Love”. And you know what? They’re ...read more
