    God's Love Gift (Advent Season)

    Contributed by Frank Queen on Dec 13, 2021
     | 4,407 views

    Advent/Christmas Sermon, specifically on the subject of God's love.

    John 3:16, Romans 5:8 As we are in the final Advent Sunday before Christmas, it makes sense the topic is love. The gospel is rooted in love (John 3:16). In fact the whole Bible is; that's really all the Bible is, it's a love-letter from God. Tragically, some abuse it, weaponize it to ...read more

    In our world, there are rivaling kingdoms! The world’s darkness rivals the light of Christ, His light and His truth with what is counterfeit.

    WHEN CHRIST COMES IN VICTORY Text: Mark 13:24-37 “ The story is told about one of the episodes of the French Revolution. A “… maddened crowd burst into one of the picture galleries of Paris, intent on devilry, destruction and death, they paused irresolute on the ...read more

     | 2,257 views

    The title “man of mystery” belongs to John the Baptist. John invited people to step into the water and be baptized then change their behavior. That is what it means to “make the crooked places straight, rough places smooth.”

    In Jesus Holy Name December 13, 2020 Redeemer Text John 1:14 “The Man of Mystery” The title “man of mystery” belongs to John the Baptist. He was an unusual prophet shrouded in mystery. A child of the desert. His face, weathered by the wind and desert ...read more

    Is Isaiah Crying Marantha? (Advent 1 December 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023
     | 855 views

    Though we are not a post-exilic community, like the one in today’s text we too, want relief from our disasters of this tumultuous year. The one thing that quarantine has in common with being exiled is isolation. ... We too, want God to act and fix things.

    IS ISAIAH CRYING MARANTHA? (Advent 1 December 2020) Text: Isaiah 64:1 - 9 O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence— 2 as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your ...read more

     | 448 views

    As we reflect on this theme of joy, particularly for those among us who may feel devoid of hope and light

    ntroduction: My beloved in Christ, as we gather in this sacred space during this Advent season, I want to address a question that resonates through the ages—not only in the Gospel of Luke but also in our lives today: “What shall we do?” This is a question posed by the crowds who came to John the ...read more

    The First Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Not Very Christmasy.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,436 views

    The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.

    Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more

    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

    Are we flying upside down? John calls us to repent! Like a modern day street preacher. Stop Sinning, Jesus is Coming! Johhn is the hinge point between testaments. The rest is based on Hebrews 7 role of a priest.

    Thou Shalt Be Dumb (Advent Sermon 3 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 6, 2022
     | 1,425 views

    Zechariah and Elizabeth were a devout couple who did not have any children. We see in today’s text a lack of faith---unbelief. Then, one day the angel Gabriel showed up and told him that God was going answer His prayers and that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who was to be named John.

    THOU SHALT BE DUMB Text: Luke 1:5- 25 Luke 1:5-25 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
