    Jeremiah predicted that a righteous branch would come and bring hope inn the midst of a hopeless situation

    A Righteous Branch Jeremiah 33:14-16 12-04-2022 Advent I didn’t grow up with advent like many of you did. In fact, for years after working retail at Christmastime, I was a pretty big Scrooge.

    We experience times of joy when we know God is with us.

    Intro: Joy. Can you think of a time of joy? In preparation for this morning, our third week of Advent, as we spend this season in expectancy and preparation and waiting, I wonder what we recognize as joy. So I took a few moments to reflect on my own life, to find and name the places of joy. I ...read more

    The gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and to all believers in all times gives us the power to share the gospel of Christ with all people, so there is no reason to fear our commission.

    For good or bad, we in the church have sort of disconnected from the meaning and significance of the liturgical seasons; so much so that many don’t even know what liturgical seasons are! As an example, consider this: most people have heard of and celebrate Christmas, but few are familiar with ...read more

    Rev. Lin Smalec Salem Church, Waynesboro, PA DISCOVER THE LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS Third Sunday of Advent 11 December 2005 One thing I hate about this time of year is how dark it is. For some of us, we go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark. I recently read a news story about ...read more

    A Christmas sermon describing how Christ can be born into the most difficult of circumstances.

    The Coffin and the Christmas Tree Four years ago my Father-in-Law, Dr. W. C. Dobbs, pastor and professor, passed away. Because his death happened right before Christmas it was the first time that I had ever missed any events of my church’s Christmas season. I missed the Children’s ...read more

    Hebrews 1: 1 - 4 Isaiah 9: 2 - 7 Luke 2: 1 - 7 The writer of the Hebrews letter or epistle gets excited at the start. He says this is how things were, but now WOW!

    The prophecies of Isaiah were fulfilled in the mission and work of Jesus--and more than fulfilled.

    Monday of the 2nd Week in Advent 2020 Scholars tell us that the Book of Isaiah appears from language and tone to have three parts, written with the words of the prophet, living late in the life of the kingdom of Judea. The first part prophesies the need for repentance in Judea and in the ...read more

    Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 9, 2015
     | 8,555 views

    When we receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion, we are holding Christ’s very body and blood, which was nailed to the cross and poured out for our forgiveness. We have seen it with our own eyes and felt it with our own hands and on our tongues.

    Have you ever heard of the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait”? If so, the story of Simeon, Anna and the baby Jesus in the temple in Lune 2:22-40 is a good example. The coming of Christ involved all manner of waiting on God. A young maiden, a dying man and an old widow all ...read more

     | 5,712 views

    Joseph’s part in the Christmas story exemplifies a new kind of righteousness.

    In nativity scenes he stands silently next to the manger in which the baby Jesus is placed. His name is Joseph and some might think that he plays an unimportant role in the Christmas story. In fact, he is not even given a single line to speak! Should we neglect Joseph? Should we skip Joseph’s ...read more

    This Christmas, realize that God has visited you, trust Him to save you. Then, after He has saved you, serve Him without fear. It really is the only way to experience His peace.

    Michele Hardie, of Holland, Michigan, describes a time when her family was getting ready for Advent. Recalling their preparation for advent a year earlier, she asked her children, “Who can tell me what the four candles in the Advent wreath represent?” She was looking for them to say hope, peace, ...read more

    To what do we cling, now that the manger is empty?

    Christmas Day has past, and it is now four days later. Had Mary been able to give birth to her son in a hospital, she would’ve already been discharged, probably sometime on Friday. She and Joseph would’ve checked out of the hospital and gone home. As such, the manger is now empty, much like the ...read more

    A message designed to make listeners aware that God wants to reveal himself to them this Christmas in a way that just might surprise them.

    Before reading today’s text I want to give you a little background or context. The passage takes place on the Temple grounds about 40 days after Jesus’ birth. Joseph and Mary have gone to the Temple for a couple of reasons. First, it was customary for a family to dedicate their first born son to ...read more
