    Christmas is hope personified. It highlights the fact that Christianity is essentially a religion of hope.

    Today we began the Advent season by lighting the first Advent candle, the candle of hope. As we heard a few minutes ago, this candle reminds us of the hope God gave His people when He promised to send them a Messiah, a Savior, a Deliverer. The candle reminds us that this promise was fulfilled in ...read more

    Our relationship to God is the most important of all relationships, and if we are not at peace with Him, we will never have peace in our hearts or be at peace with others. Good News, peace on earth!

    Sermon – Advent Continues: Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men Scripture Text: Luke 2:8-14 “That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. ...read more

    God gave us His son and entrusted Him to the care of imperfect human beings. God would dwell amongst us and know us completely. He would teach us a better way a higher plane a greater truth than we had ever come to know.

    Eternal Jesus Well today we start a new year; you may be surprised to hear me say this since today is December 2nd and not January 1, 2008. Today is the official start of the new Church Year. The church calendar starts with the celebration of Advent. Advent specifically focuses on Christs ...read more

    God invites us to the greatest party of all time

    R.S.V.P. Mark 3:1-12 During the Holiday season many of us will be doing some extra entertaining. We’ll take certain steps to ready ourselves for the visit of guests.

    I've Got Joy?

    This sermon was preached on Gaudete (Joy) Sunday (3rd sunday in Advent). I wasn’t feeling very joy-filled, though I felt called to preach on joy (and used that hesitancy as part of the sermon focus). It’s my best "grumpy sermon on joy" ever.

    It’s been a rough couple weeks for me. My wallet was stolen last Wednesday. My step-grandfather died – two days ago. I woke up feeling sick and lost my voice - yesterday. Almost got stuck in the snow last night. Had to park around the corner and traipse home in the deep snow with the wind whipping ...read more

    How do we live ever ready fo the advent of Jesus in the 21st century? Today’s text guides us in recalibrating our lives in light of Jesus’ priorities.

    Scripture In many churches, the several weeks prior to Christmas are known as Advent, from the Latin word meaning, “coming.” This preparatory season always begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. Thus, today is the First Sunday of Advent. The observance of the season of Advent can be traced ...read more

    Advent 3: We pause to celebrate and rejoice in anticipation of the wonderful ’Gift’ that God gives to us in the Christ Child.

    Dr. Seuss wrote a charming little story of a malcontent named the Grinch. This foul, green, slimy, grouchy character had no room in his heart for Christmas. Every year he worked himself into a rage because the Who’s, the little people that lived in Whoville, celebrated Christmas with a passion. ...read more

    True peace does not come through contented circumstances, but through a relationship with God

    As I was bringing our children to church Wednesday night, they were taking note of all the homes that were lit up and decorated for Christmas. They remarked at how they liked the decorations and the effort folk put forth at Christmas time. They also said, “People are different this time of year. ...read more

    Jesus is the True Vine, not traditions, rituals, or sacrifices.

    Two hunters were out hunting and come upon what appeared at first as an abandoned farm. The barn was sagging, the house was in disrepair, and there were junk cars and car parts lying around. The only thing that made it a working farm was a few chickens pecking away and a goat wandering around. As ...read more

    We know that we are living in troubling times; the economy is tight, jobs are scarce, corruption and crime is all around us. The world is not a safe place. Where is Peace. Longfellow wrote about peace, or rather, the lack of peace.

    Today we start a new sermon series called "The Carols of Christmas," where we will look at a few of the favorite carols and consider their Biblical message for today. Today we are looking at peace. We lit the Advent Candle of Peace this morning and you heard David read a few verses concerning ...read more

    On this third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday), we change from penitence to rejoicing for what is to come.

    John 1:6-8, 19-28 The shortest and darkest day and longest night of the year – the Winter Solstice – occurs this week. It is the onset of the winter season when the sun is the furthest from Earth and is often a time of darkness, doubt, and fear. And yet, Sunday is Gaudete Sunday - a beloved day ...read more

    Joy is a gift from God, is never experienced without challenges, and is something we are called upon to share.

    “An Impossible Joy” Luke 1: 39 – 45 Introduction A few weeks ago I heard on the news that there were impossibly huge line-ups as the new Sony Play Station came into stores. Some people apparently waited in line for days, even missing work to do so. Can you imagine doing this for a video game? And ...read more
