     | 6,782 views

    The need for true repentance, and amendment of life.

    JUDGMENT AND HOPE IN THE PREACHING OF JOHN. Matthew 3:1-12. Without any warning from the narrator, John the Baptist bursts onto the pages of Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 3:1) as suddenly as Elijah had burst onto the pages of Israel’s history centuries before (1 Kings 17:1). And like Elijah (2 Kings ...read more

    The historical basis of the gospel.

    THE GOSPEL WHICH WE ARE TO BELIEVE. Mark 1:1; Mark 1:14-15. There are various levels in which the kingdom of God has been appearing. The forerunner, John the Baptist, cried, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh’ (cf. Matthew 3:2). Similarly, Jesus began His own ministry with ...read more

    The longer the Lord’s delay, the more time there is for repentance.

    THE PATIENCE OF THE LORD. 2 Peter 3:8-15a. 2 PETER 3:8. Peter wishes to emphasize to his “beloved” friends that the longer the Lord’s delay, the more time there is for repentance. To the LORD a thousand years are but as a day when it is past (cf. Psalm 90:4). Yet He stretches out the day of ...read more

    "And all the people stood to the Covenant" (2 Kings 23:3).

    STANDING TO THE COVENANT. 2 Kings 22:8-10, 2 Kings 23:1-3. A pivotal moment in the history of the Bible was when Hilkiah the priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I have found THE BOOK OF THE LAW in the house of the LORD.” Shaphan took the book, and read it (2 KINGS 22:8).

    Unwrapping Gems In Malachi

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,999 views

    The love of God is set to avert the curse.

    UNWRAPPING GEMS IN MALACHI The “burden” of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi is “I have loved you” (MALACHI 1:1-2). Why has the LORD set His love on His people? Well, according to Moses, He loves us because He loves us (Deuteronomy 7:7-8)! It is not our love to God that saves us, but ...read more

     | 3,566 views

    This series approaches the Christmas Story by examining the lives of those present from a very historical perspective. This is week two focusing on the shepherds.

    Luke 2:8-12 NIV 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good ...read more

    Second Sunday Of Advent C, Advent 2-- Crying Out In The Desert

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 2, 2021
     | 1,612 views

    Can we say to John the Baptist this Advent, “The Wind Brought Your Voice To Me?”

    We don’t sing the Gloria in Advent until the angels sing the "Gloria in excelsis Deo" at Christmas but we do hear a prophetic voice, crying out in the desert, which are often windy places. The voice is from John the Baptist, carried on the whistling wind, that says, “Prepare the way of ...read more

    1See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple.

    John the Baptist brings the word of the Lord: There’s Road Construction ahead! This is a sermon for Advent 2, Year B.

    “Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother’s house we go!” Although this isn’t a Christmas song, it certainly highlights two elements that play such a big part of many people’s holiday celebrations: traveling, and family. Our first and deepest memories of Christmas are often tied up in ...read more

    Signs Of The End.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 905 views

    “When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (LUKE 21:28).

    SIGNS OF THE END. Luke 21:25-33. The apocalyptic imagery which Jesus employs (LUKE 21:25-27) might at first seem uncharacteristic of our loving Lord Jesus: but He stood in the long tradition of the prophets of old (e.g. Joel 2:30-32; Isaiah 24:19). In fact, the return of Jesus as judge will ...read more

    Getting Prepared (Advent 2) December 5, 2021

     | 3,072 views

    There are people like those in Malachi’s audience in every generation. They don’t make preparation a priority. These were covenant people who were side-stepping their covenant.

    GETTING PREPARED Text: Malachi 3:1 - 4 Malachi 3:1-4  See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight—indeed, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.  (2)  But ...read more
