    I Met John the Baptist at Yoder’s Dept. Store Mark 1:1-8 December 4, 2005 Haven’t you ever wondered what it would be like to meet John the Baptist?

    In the midst of the Christmas rush, Christ is oftentimes left out as we forget that it is His birthday we are celebrating. The precise meaning of that first Christmas is clear: God came to earth in human form.

    Let Us Go to Bethlehem and Find the Christ of Christmas Lk 2:1-14 More than 2000 years ago there was a Man born contrary to the laws of life. This Man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity.... Only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived, that was during His ...read more

    IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS (Part 1) As certainly as Jesus came the first time let there be no doubt HE WILL COME AGAIN! The same scriptures which told of His birth also boldly proclaim His Second Coming. Jesus’ first coming some 2,000

    INTRODUCTION: Thanksgiving has come and gone. In case you haven’t noticed “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” Of course I think it’s been that way for a long time at the mall; retailers give a whole new meaning to “Christmas in July.” The stores have been ready for Christmas for ...read more

    A Good Place To Start

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more

    Three different responses to the news of Christ’s birth: (1) the Magi, passionately seeking Christ to worship Him; (2) King Herod, eager to get rid of Christ, do not want Him to sit on his throne; and (3) Jerusalem, apathetic to the prophecies rega

    Matt 2:1-12, 16-18 We see here 3 different responses to the news of the birth of Jesus Christ. • First, we see the Magi in a passionate search for the child Jesus. • Second, we have King Herod also eagerly seeking to find the child, but so that he could kill him. • And thirdly, we see the ...read more

    THE DEPTH OF THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS BEING LOST, AS THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF THE WORLD LESSENS. CHRISTMAS IS NO LONGER BEING CELEBRATED AS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF HOPE FOR THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH.

    THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS AS I WAS PREPARING FOR MY MESSAGE TODAY I CAME ACROSS THIS STATEMENT. “AS A WHOLE, PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS WITH MORE ANTICIPATION THAN ANY OTHER SEASON OF THE YEAR.” COMMERCIAL INTERESTS CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE THE COMING CHRISTMAS SEASON.

     | 6,489 views

    This sermon encourages us to watch, to wait, to be alert, to be on our guard, and not to worry. This is an encouragement to remember and believe that Jesus will indeed return with great power and glory, and to remember it whatever our current circumstance

    If I were to hand out confidential voting papers on which you can vote either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, I wonder what the results would be …(long pause). You want to know what the question is, don’t you! It’s this: Will Jesus return? Is He coming back? Yes or no. Mark chapter 13 is not easy to understand, ...read more

    December 7th, 2003 Let us pray. Welcome...
