    based on 1 rating
     | 5,535 views

    This is the initial sermon in a series on Christmas from a Messianic perspective. Why was the birth of this child so important, anticipated and prophesied about? Today we will briefly look at some prophecies that pertain to Messiah and focus in on Isaiah

    SPECIAL NOTE FOR THIS SERMON: The week prior to this service we had planned the Lord's Supper, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were not able to partake in the Communion ordinance. Rather than preaching another Communion sermon and disrupting the preaching schedule, God laid on my heart to ...read more

    The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. (BF&M 2000)

    When the Wise Men arrived at the house where Mary tended the Christ Child, what did they find? If we seek the same One they sought, we also may anticipate finding what they found.

    MATTHEW 2:9-11 WHAT THE MAGI FOUND “After listening to the king, [the wise men] went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was.

    This sermon (and the included Children’s Sermon) are designed to emphasize that God gives us all the resources we need to grow and bear fruit; He therefore anticipates that we will do just that.

    The Virtuous Kingdom: Evidence of the Reign of God in the Human Heart The Virtue of Fruitfulness Mark 11 12-14; 20-21 Sermon Objective: God gives us all the resources we need to grow and bear fruit; He therefore anticipates that we will do just that!

    "Don't You Know Who I Am?”

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Apr 7, 2009
     | 3,667 views

    “Don’t You Know Who I Am?” 1) I’m your servant: imitate my humble service. 2) I’m your Lord: anticipate your heavenly crown.

    “Don’t you know who I am!?!” You wouldn’t be surprised to hear that from someone standing at the executive class check-in who isn’t getting the kind of service he thinks he deserves. Of course you don’t have to be a minor celebrity or a high-powered CEO to demand: “Don’t you know who I am!?!” You ...read more

    Clothed In Fine Linen Series

     | 4,518 views

    In the New Testament, the Church is not spoken of as a wife, but as a bride, betrothed or engaged, being made ready for her wedding day, the celebrated and much anticipated day when Christ comes for His church at the end of the age.

    Review Last week, we did something that probably stretched a few of you. It certainly stretched me. When God laid the impression upon me to do this, I was both apprehensive as well as excited. I knew a blessing would flow from it, and I knew that many of us would be uncomfortable. Yet, I ...read more

    In a day when Christians in America are increasingly in a crusading posture to capture more political, social, and economic power, the picture of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a lowly donkey and anticipating intense opposition, rejection, and death makes

    The Kingdom that Jesus is proclaiming is not at all like what the people were anticipating. They were looking for a Messiah to overthrow the Romans and they could not identify with a Messiah who proclaimed, “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit th

    A Fighting Fundamentalist Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,108 views

    Labels are applied easily--some are undeserved, and some should be embraced. If we stand with Christ and His Word, we can anticipate vilification. Paul obviously expected elders to stand firming on some truths.

    “Teach and urge these things. If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for ...read more

    Christ Followers can anticipate persecution from the world. However, they are called to live holy, gentle lives in the midst of a fallen world, honouring the Father through righteous lives and by inviting the lost salvation in Christ.

    “When Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. Prompted by her mother, she said, ‘Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.’ And the king was sorry, but because ...read more

    Christmas Message: "mary, Did You Know?"(1)

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Dec 18, 2024
     | 177 views

    The hymn “Mary, Did You Know?” beautifully captures the essence of this anticipation. It prompts us to reflect on Mary’s profound journey and the life-changing role she played in God’s divine narrative.

    Introduction: Merry Christmas, beloved community! Today, as we gather to celebrate the birth of our Savior, I want us to reflect on a simple yet profound question: “Mary, did you know?” This question encapsulates the wonder, mystery, and the revolutionary calling of a young woman chosen to bear ...read more

    It’s obvious why kids look forward to Christmas. But today we’re going to look at two people who were looking forward in eager anticipation for a much different reason.

    INTRODUCTION: Remember when you were a kid and you couldn’t wait until Christmas arrived? When my brother and I were young, my Mom would have this Christmas calendar with cotton balls stuck to each of the squares. Each day we took turns taking a cotton ball off. We were excited to do so ...read more

    The Importance Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

     | 4,289 views

    Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

    INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more
