    The Unity Of Hope. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 3, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 79 views

    Christ accepts all His people, so accept one another (ROMANS 15:7).

    THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In Romans 15 Paul bases His argument in Scripture. First and foremost, in Romans 15:3, Paul applies Psalm 69:9 to Jesus, arguing that we should follow the unselfish attitude of Christ (see Philippians 2:5-11). We must not forget that Jesus came into this world ...read more

     | 7,402 views

    Lights and Christmas go together like peas and carrots. This message series reflects on the four candles of the Advent wreath. We begin with the hope candle.

    All the Pretty Lights: The Light of Hope Luke 2: 1 – 5 You just can’t do Christmas without lights! They’re my favorite Christmas tradition. There’s much I find about Christmas challenging—not the holiday itself, but all the surrounding ado. I’d just as soon we skip most of the Christmas ...read more

    The Perfect Gift

    Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 697 views

    Have you ever stopped to consider the difference between a gift that falls flat and one that touches your heart? The perfect gift isn’t just about what’s given—it’s about the thought, intention, and love behind it, and that’s exactly what we see in God’s gifts to us.

    The Perfect Gift Have you ever received a gift that made you stop and think, “What were they thinking?” Maybe it was a half-burned candle, an unsolicited diet book, or a truly confusing gag gift. Let’s see a show of hands—who’s received a gift that left them scratching their heads? Now, imagine ...read more

    A Call To Rejoice

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 26, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,203 views

    This song of rejoicing is not only one in which the people of the LORD are exhorted to raise their voices, but also one in which the LORD Himself participates.

    A CALL TO REJOICE. Zephaniah 3:14-20. Eight out of the nine oracles in the little book of Zephaniah announce God’s just judgment of all the earth (Zephaniah 1:2-3; Zephaniah 3:8); and the just judgment of the LORD their covenant God against Judah and Jerusalem in particular (Zephaniah 1:4). ...read more

    His Presence Or Presents?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 15, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,759 views

    During Christmas season we often say, “God’s presence is more important than presents.” But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise. So, what would Christmas be like if we truly celebrated God’s presence?

    Opening illustration: Oswald Chambers once wrote: “It is not God’s promises we need, it is [God] Himself.” At Christmastime we often say, “God’s presence is more important than presents.” But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise. In certain parts of ...read more

    The King Has Come Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 24, 2021
     | 2,812 views

    Since the King has Come and is coming again, the Apostle Paul presents four aspects of the Father’s exaltation of the Son: 1) The source (Philippians 2:9a), 2) The title (Philippians 2:9b), 3) The response (Philippians 2:10–11a), and 4) The purpose (Philippians 2:11b).

    Philippians 2:9–11. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ...read more
