    Mary's Side Of The Story

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 5, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,960 views

    I wonder, how does Mary’s story speak to you this Advent season? In a few weeks from now, Christmas Sunday would seem rather odd if we did not hear from Mary.

    This is not an original sermon, points borrowed from Advent 3/C, December 17, 2006 Lynne M. Dolan (I believe the message was entitled “Nothing Impossible with God”). I have restructured the message, however; want to ensure I give proper credit. TITLE: MARY’S SIDE OF THE STORY SCRIPTURE: ...read more

    The Beacon Of Hope From The Wilderness- Advent 3

     | 5,457 views

    The third candle of our wreath is said to symbolise John the Baptist, who I believe to be “The Beacon of Hope from the wilderness”.

    The Beacon of Hope from the wilderness Text Isaiah 40: 1-5 (NIV), John 1: 19- 23 (NIV) In our first Sunday of Advent we looked briefly at the Patriarchs Noah and Abraham as pointers of promise, in particular the promise of the first coming of the Messiah as predicted in the book of Genesis.

    We look at this season as one in which we hope. What do we hope for, and how does this effect the way we live?

    The Hope that Transforms: A Sermon for the First Sunday in Advent 1 John 3:1-3 It’s Advent time again. The American celebration of Thanksgiving is past. Now all eyes turn upon celebrating Christmas. In fact, this is what many Christians make of Advent, if they have even heard of it. The reality is ...read more

    The Innkeeper And His Guests Missed The First Advent Series

    Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,106 views

    It would be tragic to leave Jesus out of Christmas 2021 because I am too busy or because I am so absorbed in my own little world. That’s what happened the First Christmas, and that same time have been happening in many homes Christmas after Christmas.

    INTRODUCTION CUSTOM BLOCK Advent means the arrival; the appearance and that term is usually associated with someone who is notable. So, it is fair to say that those who lived in the times of the Old Testament were looking for the Advent (the coming, the appearance) of Christ. In fact, Advent is not ...read more

    The sermon is based upon John as the one who is fore-runner or the one who goes before the people. The one who goes before prepares the people, goes for a purpose, and goes before with a message. So we are one of those who go before the people as was John

    The One who Goes Before Luke 3:1-6 Obviously John the Baptist is the Fore Runner or the one who goes before. God calls each of us to go before 1. The one who goes before is to be filled with the Holy Sprit • Luke 1: 15for he will be great in the sight of ...read more

    The Seed Of Christmas

     | 2,882 views

    If you leave the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke, you do not recognize how long God was planning and preparing and moving all of the pieces of the world in order for us to receive the greatest gift that has ever been given to man, which is Jesus Christ, His Son.

    We often sell ourselves short when we say to each other simple clichés, like, "Jesus is the reason for the season". Now, I'm not shaming anybody who's used it because it works at this time of year. But the reality of it is, is Jesus is not the reason for the season. Jesus is ...read more

    Is it OK to point literally or figuratively? There is a lot of pointing going on in the nativity story, the Gospels, the rest of the New Testament and in the Old Testament. What is the pointing all about? It's all about Jesus!
