    "Lord, Prepare Us For Your Advent”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 3, 2025
     | 415 views

    Just as many of us travel during December, Advent reminds us of Jesus' "travel plans" to serve as our Savior. We'll use the Apostle Paul's travel plans to visit the Thessalonians as our guide.

    It’s estimated that a record 80 million Americans traveled 50 miles or more over the Thanksgiving Holiday this year. Of course, the majority (a record 71.7 million) of those traveled by car. But today they anticipate that a record-breaking 3 million people will travel by air. Yes, travel plans ...read more

    Many Christians set resolutions or prophesy about what they want God to do in the upcoming year. As the year ends, many of these remain unresolved. This sermon is to encourage them that even if it's 1 minute before midnight on December 31, God can still perform miracles.

    Exodus 12:1-2 - "The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 'This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.'" Psalm 105:37 - "He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered." Although we are just a few hours away from the ...read more

    The Essence Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 6, 2022
     | 4,064 views

    Jesus went from sitting on a throne to lying in a manger to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown to a baby with diapers to a criminal on the cross. Why did He do this?

    It’s three weeks and just twenty-one days until Christmas. Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons: students are soon to be out of school, teachers are soon to be off from school, and lights are everywhere. Who doesn’t like presents for everyone brimming from underneath a Christmas tree? Andy ...read more

    Spencer, having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday when Christians celebrate the birth of God's Son, with the innocence of a child, he asked his mom, "Where's the line to see Jesus? (This Message was updated December 20, 2019)

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service there are four Scriptures readings proceeding the Message. Today's assigned readings are: Isaiah 9:2-7; Psalm 96; Titus 2:11-14 and Luke 2:1-20.

    Some messages bring joy and some do not. I remember a 13 year old boy standing in his mothers front room and looking out her window at the weather, it was late November or early December and watching it rain and snow, sleet and thinking what a gloomy day

    How Do We Run The Race When We Can’t Run?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012
     | 5,694 views

    This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

    For the purposes of this morning I’m going to assume that none of you knows about the illness that left me almost bed ridden for 7 months back in 2008. I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more

    I am so glad that March is over. It is going to remembered years from now like September 11th, or the day that Katrina roared onto the Gulf Coast on August 29th, 2005, or the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. You ask why?

    There are many gifts we'll receive we really don't care for. But this Christmas, God offers you gifts of His love, healing, forgiveness, and inner joy. And these best gifts you don't have to wait until December 25 to open!

    Sermon: It’s Christmas, The Fulness Of Time Has Come

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 17, 2024
     | 690 views

    In our lesson today, Apostle Paul draws our attention to When Christ came, Where Christ came from, How Christ came and Why Christ came. I am not concerned with the 25th day of December, I am concerned with the fulness of time. God’s timing is perfect.

    Sermon: It’s Christmas, The Fulness of Time Has Come Scripture: Galatians 4:1-5 “Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father ...read more

    There’s Just Something About Christmas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2022
     | 2,504 views

    Christmas is by far the most popular of these seven American holidays. Yet, not everybody can tell you why we celebrate every other holiday. Only around half of all Americans could retell the Christmas story from memory.

    It’s now just two weeks and just fourteen days until Christmas! Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons: family gathering together, time off from work and obligations, and the strong sense of nostalgia we all feel this time of year. Nat King Cole captured the sentiment of the season for many ...read more

    The Victory Of The Crucified King

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022
     | 1,364 views

    Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

    The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more

    God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021
     | 9,960 views

    No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

    Almost everywhere you turn in the Christmas story, you see an angel! We are better because God created the angels. The angels serve us, believers, and they serve the Christmas story.

    It’s now just one week until Christmas! Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons. After all, you have presents carefully wrapped under the tree with your name on them!
