    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

    I came across a suggested prayer for all preachers this week, and it goes like this: “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” Well, here we go! Are you ready? Are you prepared? Put your hands up if you are ready and prepared ... did you get done yesterday ...read more

    The arm of God rules, and the arms of God are tender.

    These are words of comfort for a rejected and downcast people. They are words of comfort for a sinful people; for God’s people.

    Advent. It is hard to do an orignial John the Baptist advent sermon isn’t it? I give it a go. Our life circumstances do not determine the validty of who Jesus is. Also, John 1:6-9, 15-16,19-23.

I was thinking…Disney Studios might jump on the bandwagon and produce a biblically oriented film. I think there are many stories they could choose from….but you know Disney has a habit of changing the ...read more

    Was that first tree in the Garden a mistake, or always a part of the plan

    Introduction There have been some big changes in our sanctuary since last Sunday. What catches your attention the most? For some it is the glow of the advent wreath candles, or the arrangements in the windows but for me, hands down, it’s the tree. For my money there is nothing like a tree. When ...read more
