    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,930 views

    Just as Mary and Joseph were full of grace, so must we be.

    When Jonathon and Daniel were younger, I used to say to them, “You’re full of blarney!” To which they would respond, “BJ!” as they thought I said that they were “full of Barney the dinosaur” because BJ is Barney’s friend. “You’re full of it” is an expression we use either in teasing or in all ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,366 views

    The message of Advent and the birth of Jesus are about joy. Joy is not found in gifts but in the Person, Jesus Christ.

    Good News of Great Joy Luke 2:8-20 One of my favorite Christmas Carols is “Joy to the World, the Lord has come.” The message of Advent and the birth of Jesus are about joy.

    No one thinks of getting redemption for Christmas.

     | 8,016 views

    Mary and Elizabeth were two women who were blessed in a special way by God. In this text, we will look at qualities of their life that will help us to be blessed by God in a special way.

    As we are in this Advent season, it is a season of blessings. Of course the greatest blessing that we could possibly have is the blessing of eternal life that was made possible by Christ coming into the world and paying the price for our sins on the cross so that we could be in fellowship ...read more

    This morning we are going to follow Mary and Joseph’s dilemma and think about how we too might lose sight of Christ, how Jesus can become LOST IN THE SHUFFLE of our busy lives, especially during this Christmas Season.

    TITLE: LOST IN THE SHUFFLE SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:41-52 I am excited this morning to begin our Advent series.

    based on 25 ratings
     | 8,784 views

    In this Psalm I examine the Psalm writer’s attitude to the future as he faces old age and how he deals with his enemies. This is during Advent and has a little reflective flavor of the season in it.

    December 11, 2005 Psalm 71 What do you think about your future? Maybe you’re one of those people who’s done an overall road map of your life. Maybe in ten years you want to retire, or have your house paid off, or have enough money saved up to buy a car, or get married and have children. ...read more

    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
