    Preparing our hearts for the true Advent of life; the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    We do so much to prepare for Christmas. We prepare for Christmas by decorating our houses…shopping…and so on. We prepare for guests to come: clean and straighten the house, prepare a meal. We try not to wait ‘til the last minute to prepare, for it may be too late. Malachi is ...read more

    John the Baptist is an example of what it means to prepare the way for Jesus' return.

    Mark 1:1-8 “Preparation” INTRODUCTION Our journey through Advent seems to be a sprint. We are already celebrating the Second Sunday in Advent. Last week we focused on Jesus’ promise to come again in order to complete his establishment of the kingdom of God. The key word for ...read more

    We are called to be faithful to God and obey him. Being faithful is the meaning of waiting for the Lord to come. There will be no second chances when Christ returns.

    It’s not hard to tell that we are getting closer to the end of the church year. In fact, three weeks from today we will be celebrating the First Sunday in Advent. The Gospel readings for these last few weeks of the Season of Pentecost talk about what God’s judgement will be like. They ...read more

    His return is certain – it will happen. It is imminent – that is, it could happen at any time. It will be sudden – like a thief in the night. Luke 12:40 tells us that we need always be ready so that His return will not catch us off guard.

    “Be Prepared” Luke 12:35-43 Lord Baden Powel, the founder of scouting gave the Boy Scouts their motto: “Be prepared”. What he was seeking to do was to instill in his scouts a readiness for any emergency. The scout should never be taken by surprise. He is always to be ...read more

    This sermon looks at out need to be prepared, not only for the inevitabilities of life, but more importantly for the Lord Jesus' return. It looks at the Men of Issachar, The Ten Virgins, and Zacchaeus.

    Be Prepared Last week we looked at our need to be grateful to God when life happens. This got me thinking of the Boy Scout motto: be prepared. What this basically means is that we need to be prepared for the inevitabilities of life. But I believe it goes much deeper. What we need to be prepared ...read more

    A sacrificial insight framed by plots against Jesus.

    THE PREPARATION. Mark 14:1-11. 1. The Plot to Kill Jesus (Mark 14:1-2). The first thing that we notice as we enter into this passage is that it was the LORD who was setting the timetable for Jesus’ death. It was "the feast of the PASSOVER, and of Unleavened Bread” (MARK 14:1a). In other ...read more

    If there was one word that each of us would like used in describing us would be “success.”

    If there was one word that could be the foundation to success, I feel it would be the word “prepared.” I realize there are a lot of words that could come close to the word prepared in success such as the word work. 1. Work a. Physical work 1) The Bible has a lot to say about work. 2) 1 Timothy ...read more

    Jesus wanted His disciples to be prepared for what was to come, and God's Word still speaks to us in the same way, preparing us for the hatred of the world as we stand strong for Christ.

    Be Prepared Text: John 16:1-4 When I was a kid my parents let me watch Saturday morning cartoons. I watched Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, the Flintstones… but my favorite was G.I. Joe… G.I Joe was full of action, and excitement, and danger. And at the end of each episode, there was always a little ...read more

    Who is Jesus? Was He just a man. Or was He a myth? Or is He the Divine Christ?

    By What Authority? Luke 19:45-20:8 Luke has just given extensive coverage of the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday. (See sermon: “It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want To”) So why does Luke give only one verse to the cleansing of the Temple when Matthew and especially Mark give extensive coverage? ...read more

    Kingdom Authority by Steve Keeler Scripture Matthew 16:19 Each and every one of us through the power of the name of Jesus Christ are possessors of the authority of all heaven.

    Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

    It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more

    We live in and under the authority of Jesus. Jesus authority was seen not only in His teaching, but was also witnessed in the deliverance of the demoniac.
