    John the Baptist declares, "It is time!"

    This is a great text. The majesty of the writing -- what would Christmas be without the Christmas text from Luke? "In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus . . . ." All the names and dates. Historical details that make the story come alive. The event, marked in time and place -- in the ...read more

    "You brood of Vipers!" and still they come.

    What do we do with this John the Baptist? Here is the third Sunday in a row with him. Such a strange man. "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" Heaping abuse on the people. And still they came in droves to be baptized. John had that charisma that attracted people ...read more

    Climate change is not a new thing. In fact the bible records how society dealt with it in the 9th century B.C. Two leaders had very different ideas about how to solve the crisis. One chose the living God.

    The Mountain of Battle Today we look at two leaders with very different perspectives about God, Religion and Authority. Our study is not unlike the times we live in. Even in our present age we are faced with two powerful leaders who seem to be destined to square off over God, Religion and ...read more

    Jesus invites us to "Watch, stay awake". As we watch, we are invited to see through the eyes of Jesus. Watching helps us to see the hope in the midst of terror.

    1 Advent B Mark 13:24-37 1 December 2002 Rev. Roger Haugen Elie Wiesel is a Jewish writer whose novels prod the depths of the Holocaust, asking difficult questions of humanity and of God. In Night, a child hangs from a S.S. gallows and the question goes up, “Where is God?” Wiesel writes: “And I ...read more

    When faith fails, then flesh takes over.

    ISAAC AND ISHMAEL. Galatians 4:21-31. 1. The History. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD ...read more

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

    The prophet Isaiah speaks of one who comes to bring good news to the oppressed. God gives us eyes to see hope in the midst of darkness.

    3 Advent B Isaiah 61:1-4,8-11 15 December 2002 Rev. Roger Haugen Christmas is a time of images. We so easily create mind pictures of gentle snow and evergreen trees. We imagine presents under decorated Christmas tree, good food whose smell invites us to taste and enjoy. We think of angels and ...read more

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

    Examining Psalm 51, we see the pattern of Confession, Pardon, and Re-Creation (CPR) at work in David's life, and still effective for us today through the work of Jesus Christ. Preached on Ash Wednesday as an introduction to the season of Lent

    Psalm 51; 2 Samuel 11-12 "C.P.R." Ash Wednesday INTRO: Today is Ash Wednesday, and throughout the world, Christians of many branches of Christ's church are observing this unique day in the Christian calendar.

    Towards Sanctification.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 154 views

    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9).

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:2-15. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that ‘almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission’ (cf. Hebrews 9:22). ...read more

    TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE. 2 Kings 6:14-23. The king of Syria suspected that he might have a spy in his camp, because the king of Israel somehow kept evading his ambushes. But no, informed one his servants, it was not one of us, but Elisha the prophet who kept telling the king of Israel ‘the words ...read more

    “Put off the old man” (EPHESIANS 4:22), and “put on the new man” (EPHESIANS 4:24).

    THE OLD LIFE AND THE NEW. Ephesians 4:17-32. Having argued the case for keeping the unity of the body of Christ (cf. Ephesians 4:1-16), Paul now moves on to insist upon the maintenance of true holiness. EPHESIANS 4:17. The “therefore” connects with the ‘therefore’ in Ephesians 4:1. Paul is ...read more

    "It pleased the Father that in Him should all the fulness dwell" (COLOSSIANS 1:19).

    THE PRE-EMINENCE OF CHRIST. Colossians 1:13-20. Paul celebrates the fact that the Father has already qualified us to receive the inheritance which awaits His saints.
