    The Absurdity Of Advent

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 3, 2018
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,909 views

    If on Advent Sunday all we do is to look back to Christ's earthly life and forward to his coming again, our present life seems to occupy a sort of interval when nothing much is going on.

    TITLE: THE ABSURDITY OF ADVENT SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 40:3-5 I so enjoy this time of the year in the Christian Calendar. Even after 35 years of Preaching and Pastoring, this season never grows old or tiresome as I stand in the pulpit. This is the First Sunday in Advent. • In the media the season ...read more

    "what Shall We Do? Restoring Joy In Advent"

     | 220 views

    As we immerse ourselves in the Advent season, we find ourselves in a time of preparation—preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ.

    Introduction: As we immerse ourselves in the Advent season, we find ourselves in a time of preparation—preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. This season also invites us to reflect on what it means to have joy. Today, we will explore two powerful scriptures: Luke 3:7-18 and Zephaniah ...read more

    Mary's Side Of The Story

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 5, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,413 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 Elements Of Advent

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Dec 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,627 views

    This message helps to explain three of the four elements of ADVENT: Love, Joy, and Hope. The final element of Peace will be the topic for the following Sunday.

    As I sat down to put together my thoughts for this sermon, and after praying about it, I looked at the calendar and realized that this is one of those years that there are only 4 Sundays of Advent between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes there are 5 Sundays but then there are years like 2020 ...read more

    Only when Christ is the OBJECT of our hope can EXPECTATION be realized. Find your hope in Jesus this Christmas.

    Dakota Community Church December 2, 2012 Hope for the Season Isaiah 59:1-11 Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

    Advent: Slow Down! Sharpen Your Axe.

     | 6,812 views

    A short talk for the start of the busy Advent season. This talk uses one of may favourite stories to encourage people to rest, stop, slow down in the midst of a busy time to rest.

    Jesus said, “Come with me … to a quiet place and get some rest” (Mark 6:31). One of my favourite stories is about the world wood chopping competition. Now the champion was a bit older than he used to be – well, who isn’t – but he was still the champion. Everyone ...read more

    The Advent season is a time of anticipation, reflection, and renewal. Often, we immerse ourselves in the familiar story of Christ’s birth. But today, let us journey to an unexpected place—the story of Ruth.

    This message uses a video presentation of the poem "Touch of the Master’s Hand" as a lead in to encourage believers to "Reach Out And Touch" others during the Advent Season

    The Master’s Touch [Note: This message began with a video illustration of the poem "Touch of the Master’s Hand" available through Mainstay Church Resources’ "The Christmas Touch" Advent 2001 material.] Don’t you hate it when you see a sign that says “don’t touch”?

    Living Like Christ Or Like Scrooge?

    Like last Sunday, today’s pericope looks at statements made by Jesus not long before His arrest and passion, as Christ focuses our attention on the “last days.”

    First Sunday of Advent 2024 One of the most obvious signs that our Western culture was at a crisis point, and sliding or crashing in the wrong direction happened about forty years ago when the Advent season, which begins this Sunday, was turned into a pre-Christmas season. As time passed, it ...read more

    In this sermon we walk through the symbols of Advent (candles and wreath) and point it all back to the reality of Advent which is Jesus Christ our Lord.
