  • Go Tell It On Mt. Carmel Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 20, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,226 views

    We turn our successes into failures because we see only the negatives, and we need approval. But in the Incarnation God accepts our incompleteness and offers us His unconditional love.

    All of us want success. All of us need success. If you don’t care about doing something well, you are in sad shape. You are in trouble if you don’t want to succeed at something. And yet the problem is that we are our own worst enemies. We defeat ourselves time and time again. We take ...read more

     | 11,015 views

    As we prepare for our Lord’s birth among us, we are confronted with God’s realtiy: Things are not always what they seem. God’s ways are not teh world’s ways.

    Things Are Not What They Seem Dear friends in Christ, grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ. Amen. After 2000 years of listening to the Christmas story, it’s easy for us hear it as a familiar and sentimental tale, imagining quiet and serene ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 15,769 views

    The Advent season provides us a time to reflect and prepare for our Lord’s coming, not just at Christmas, but today, and at the end of time

    Be alert, Jesus tells us. Good advice, as there are now only 25 shopping days until Christmas. Being alert will give you the edge to make this the best Christmas ever. Being alert will allow you to hunt out and sneak into the only vacant parking space in the entire parking lot. Being alert will ...read more

  • Tired Of Too Much Church Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 4, 2004
    based on 72 ratings
     | 35,209 views

    It is easy to be tired of church if church does not connect with integrity, compassion, or fundamental life change. But you will not grow weary if you will work for the good of all.

    Several years ago I officiated at a wedding at National Cathedral. At the rehearsal an official of the Cathedral explained why the service would be held in just the Great Choir of the Cathedral, and not out on the main floor, and why we would have to be exactly on-time, no exceptions. He said that ...read more

  • Too Pooped To Pray Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 5, 2004
    based on 44 ratings
     | 8,005 views

    When spiritual exhaustion strikes, we fail to pray. It means that we have not dealt with our control issues, and we compromise principle to save ourselves. But God will give us a sign of His presence, even when we do not ask.

    There is a weariness of heart that goes so deep, it puts us in danger of losing our souls. There is an exhaustion of the soul that goes so far inside us that, if someone does not do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, we wiII be lost in despair. There is a weariness of heart, an exhaustion of ...read more

    A message about the coming Messiah from John’s perspective.

    JOHN’S PORTRAIT OF CHRIST Luke 1:14-66; John 1:1-29 INTRO: ILLUS: One of the most impressive things about the Mormon tabernacle is its wonderful acoustics. It’s reported that a pin dropped in the front can be heard in the back, without amplification. The 400 years between the O.T. and the N.T. ...read more

  • Festival Of Lights For Jews And Christians

    based on 54 ratings
     | 4,212 views

    Christians celebrate a Festival of Lights at Christmas and the Jews have Hanukkah, both pictures of the Spirit of God shining out in a dark world - see picture of Menorah.

    FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS FOR JEWS AND CHRISTIANS This Christmas the lights in town and on houses have been better than ever. I expect you had Advent candles in church to remind you of the Christmas festival. But it’s not only Christians who celebrate with lights - the Jews do so as well. I’ve got ...read more

    An advent sermon on repentance

    A Strange Christmas Passage I wasn’t sure whether I should come here today, after all, how could I come and preach at a Church in a denomination that seems to have got their lectionary passage wrong. Here we are in the second Sunday of advent, only two more Sundays before Christmas day, and the ...read more

    based on 77 ratings
     | 5,780 views

    "Bethlehem" means "house of bread", reminding us that Jesus is the Bread of Life.

    BETHLEHEM - THE HOUSE OF BREAD One of my favourite carols is "O little town of Bethlehem". Do you know what happened there? It’s where Jesus was born - a town not far from Jerusalem. And do you know what "Bethlehem" means? It’s "the house of bread". Jesus was born in Bethlehem - in a stable. ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,911 views

    A poetic, impressionistic rendering of Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus, presented by two readers in dialogue

    Every day is unique, every time is new. Never before have these same things happened, never again will this moment come. But the one who made this day, the one who is ever new, knows this moment. And knew that moment in which all things would be fulfilled. Each day is a gift. And each ...read more

    We need to slow down and remember the reason for the season

    The Yellow Light This is the time of year when everyone starts getting ready for Christmas. The stores have the trees and Christmas decorations on display. They’re running sales trying to encourage all of us to spend, spend, spend. Elevators are filled with all of the ...read more
