    God has given us Himself in Christ. As Christians, we are called to offer ourselves. We are to be a gift to God and a gift for others.

    We are catching into this spirit of giving at Christmas - the world says it’s the season of giving. • And it means of buying too, because without buying there won’t be any giving. • You see that all around you. When I opened my mailbox a few days ago after my trip, it was jam-packed with mails. ...read more

    The concept of hope as set forth in Isaiah 2:1-5 shows us a glorious future.

    Scripture Today is the First Sunday of Advent. This year’s Old Testament Scripture Readings for the Season of Advent are taken from Isaiah. So, I have decided to preach from these Scripture Readings. I am calling this series of messages, “Advent in Isaiah.” God called Abram out ...read more

    He's Coming To Town Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,485 views

    While we sing and talk of one coming on a sleigh, we must remember that Jesus will also be Coming to Town but rather than on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, he will be in the clouds and rather than by reindeer, he will come with power and glory!

    INTRO Isn’t it amazing what Christmas has become? How the sweet calm picture of the birth of one named Jesus has become so much about rush, money, and envy. ILL: Listen to this parody of the Christmas season that I read this past week: "And there were in the same country children keeping watch ...read more

    Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 3,126 views

    We often think of Christmas in terms of peace … and this can begin to be reduced to that which is cozy and comfortable. But the events that we are invited to enter… begin with the opposite…

    As we enter the Christmas season… a term that is often referred to is “the Christmas spirit.’ It may be a parent telling their children to get a better attitude… or hinting to your boss to give you some extra slack or time off. But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more

    Where Peace Begins Series

     | 9,063 views

    Peace begins in the heart, and is not imposed from outside, for discord also begins within; but in a committed relationship there is a matrix for genuine peace.

    It had been a long, tiring day. A day full of frustrations. Plans so carefully laid in the morning had been forcefully set aside by evening. Good intentions for a day of accomplishment had been ruthlessly destroyed by many intrusions. Now it was night, and cold, and lonely. No one around. No ...read more

    In this message we look at what Christmas is not all about using the cast from Charlie Brown's Christmas as illustrations.

    Wow, it’s been fifty years. Sure doesn’t seem like it. December 9th will be the 50th anniversary of the first showing of Charlie Brown Christmas. And while most of us grew up watching the animated special there were a number of hesitations about the show when it was aired. As a ...read more

    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
