    A Good Place To Start

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Dec 7, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 14,699 views

    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

    Advent 3: We pause to celebrate and rejoice in anticipation of the wonderful ’Gift’ that God gives to us in the Christ Child.

    Dr. Seuss wrote a charming little story of a malcontent named the Grinch. This foul, green, slimy, grouchy character had no room in his heart for Christmas. Every year he worked himself into a rage because the Who’s, the little people that lived in Whoville, celebrated Christmas with a passion. ...read more

    I prepared this sermon for "Christ The King" Sunday - the Sunday after Thanksgiving and just prior to Advent (Christmas Season). What King is this? The King who laid down His life for His subjects!

    What King Is This? Luke 23:33-43 Introduction (Adapted from www.churchyear.net) Today we celebrate to coming of Christ, our King. That is what the season of Advent – Christmas – is really all about. It is a time when we remember the time of His coming to earth in the form of a child. During ...read more

    Instead of following after the "power and prestige of the world" how about following the humility of Christ?

    I visited with an incensed high school student last week. Apparently her father had decided they weren’t going to get a Christmas tree or put up any of the other usually seasonal decorations. Instead they would have “Birthday” balloons and a birthday cake. And the presents would be arranged around ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the location of the Christ - in the manger - and what significance that has to us today as we prepare for Christmas.

    December 14, 2005 The Third Sign of Christmas to Come: Lying in a Manger Luke 2:12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

    The 1st Sunday in advent is a time to focus on the second coming of Christ and making sure we are prepared.

    It’s hard to believe but we are already into the Christmas season, and I’m not talking about the shopping season that began on black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I am referring to the Christian season we call Advent. As I’ve already mentioned we are in the first Sunday of Advent which ...read more

    Explanation of the names given to the child, "Jesus" and "Immanuel", and how it impacts us today.

    We are in the third Sunday of Advent, Advent being the season before the birth of Jesus where we prepare ourselves for His arrival into our world. As I shared last week Advent is a season of preparation, it is an anticipation of Jesus’ arrival. Unfortunately this season before Christmas has ...read more

    Making A Positive Impact For Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 7, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,344 views

    John the Baptist made a big impact on many people. This sermon encourages people to make a positive impact (for Jesus) upon people, and not simply to be going through the motions

    Just occasionally we come across someone who makes a big impact upon us. Early in my life John Stainer made an impact upon me. At the time he had a big bushy beard – a bit like I imagine John the Baptist. John was my Sunday school teacher (John Stainer that is, not the Baptist), and he made an ...read more

    A voice no one had heard before God began to use for His purposes. Will God use your voice?

    Will God Use Your Voice? Luke 3:1-6 by Jim Westmoreland He was a rare man. He was an unusual man. It is not every one who is reared in an orphanage out in the desert with very little contact with human civilization or the city. Not every one is reared without a mother or father, without brothers ...read more

    The Wonder Of Christ's Birth

    Contributed by Ray Ellis on Dec 8, 2003
    based on 39 ratings
     | 10,863 views

    Why was the time when Jesus was born the right time? Why did God choose the land of Palestine as the birth place of Jesus? Why was 5 BC the year Jesus was born and not some other year?

    The Wonder of Christ’s Birth -In the Fullness of Time- Galatians 4:4 Luke 2:1-7 The story is told about a man who got tired of the Christmas hoopla. All the frantic haste and the crass commercialism disgusted him. So, he decided not to go along with the crowd. Among other things, he decided not ...read more

    Christmas Sermon - Which Jesus do you want for Christmas

    I have a secret to tell you. I’ve picked out a present for my wife, Linda. I am getting her a beautiful 2 caret diamond ring in a platinum setting. It looks great! I admit that it isn’t exactly what she asked for, but I searched and searched on-line and just couldn’t find anywhere where I could get ...read more

    He's Coming To Town Series

    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

    Today we are going to take a look at Pillar 4 – that is Love.

    INTRO: A lady walked up to a man and said, "If I was your wife I would feed you poison." The man replied, "If I was your husband I’d eat it." Adam asked God, "Why did you have to make woman so beautiful?" God said, "So you’d fall in love with her. Then Adam asked, "But why did you have to make her ...read more
