     | 12,901 views

    The angels proclaimed it, Jesus promised it, and we earnestly seek it but the world doesn't know it - peace - the promise of Christmas.

    No God, No Peace; Know God, Know Peace “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not ...read more

    Good sermon for first Sunday of Advent -- lighting of Prophet Candle. The theme of light vs. darkness is woven throughout the Bible. This is what the coming of the Light marked in our world.

    A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS TEXT: Isaiah 9:2, John 8:12 There’s a fascinating recurring theme woven throughout the Bible. It’s the theme of light and darkness. We begin with darkness in only the second verse of the entire Bible. Genesis 1:2 says, “And the earth was without form, ...read more

    A short talk for children aged 5 to 11 plus their teachers and parents. This is Joseph (preaching in character) telling a bit of his story. The talk ends with a short song using the chorus of the well known carol O, Come let us adore him.

    Hello everyone my name’s Joe – bet you don’t know what Joe is short for! Yes, that’s right, it is Joseph! Well, you’ll never believe some of the amazing and weird stuff that’s happened to me and my fiancée this year. No way will you believe it.

    If you discovered that you had only five minutes left to say all that you wanted to way, what would you say - and to whom?

    “Questions About God: What Does God’s Love Look Like?” 1 Jn. 2:3-5; 3:1-3, 16-20; 4:7-21 If you discovered that you had only five minutes left to say all that you wanted to say, what would you say -- and to whom? A man named Christopher Morley posited that “every telephone ...read more

    This message looks at how the birth of Jesus changed everything for Mary and Joseph

    A Line in Time Mary and Joseph It was almost as if someone had dragged a stick though the sand drawing a line that said this was then and this is now. There has never been an event in the history of man that has so defined human history as the birth of Jesus. That line has defined time, ...read more

    Distractions are often times intentional. They are created in order to get you to focus on the unimportant in order to prevent you from seeing what is really important. Can that happen at Christmas time? Do you really have to ask???

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more

    We don't like to wait. But God's people are often called to wait? What does it mean to wait?

    “Guidelines for Christmas: Hurry Up and Wait” Is. 40:27-31; Micah 5:2-5; Luke 1:1-10 Waiting is hard. Young children see gifts under the tree and beg to open ‘just one’ early. When told “No, you need to wait!” they respond “I can’t wait that ...read more

    Don't Stay In The Boat

    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,676 views

    It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

    Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more

    I would propose to you, though much debate, speculation and misrepresentation surrounds the birth of Christ. There are Biblical truths that must be grasp if one is going fulfill their place in the proclaiming of the birth of Christ, like that of the shepherds.

    Why the Shepherds? Introduction: It is that time of the season when there is a desire to observe Christmas, give, show acts of charity and cling to those church traditions of the birth of Christ. Luke 2: gives us a clear truth that God intentionally broke the conjecture of man to bless, call ...read more

    1) Hurry! 2) Halt! 3) Help! Isaiah models how we can patiently wait for the coming of the Messiah.

    Waiting. No one likes to do it. Coffee addicts don’t like having to wait for their morning cup to brew. Kids don’t like having to wait for their birthday to come. And no one likes waiting at the hospital emergency room. That’s the worst isn’t it? The fact that you’re ...read more
