    The Dawn Of Zion's Glory.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 514 views

    "And the Gentiles shall come to thy light" (Isaiah 60:3).

    THE DAWN OF ZION’S GLORY. Isaiah 60:1-9. The motif of darkness is at last vanquished by the coming of the light (ISAIAH 60:1). Just as in Creation, God spoke, and there was light (cf. Genesis 1:2-3). The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overwhelm it (cf. John 1:5). Like ...read more

     | 526 views

    There was none to help except the Lord.

    SIN AND DELIVERANCE. Psalm 107:13-22. This reading begins and ends with a “crying out” to the LORD, His deliverance, and a call to praise. In the first of the two examples here, the petitioners were portrayed as people who were held fast with iron chains in the darkest deepest dungeon, ‘in the ...read more

    Even our friends might let us down, but God never will.

    TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER. Psalm 55:16-22. PSALM 55:16. King David was no stranger to ‘friends’ letting him down, but his bold assertion in the face of betrayal was: “As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.” The God upon whom he calls is the true and living God, the ...read more

    Reliability of the LORD.

    THE EVERLASTING MERCY OF THE LORD. Psalm 118:1-9. Our Psalm today begins, “O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good” (PSALM 118:1a). Notice that it is not that ‘He has been good to me.’ But rather that He is “good” within Himself. My mentor knew what it was to be persecuted, but faithfully ...read more

    Our Boast In God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 77 views

    These verses form the basis for an appeal to God for deliverance.

    OUR BOAST IN GOD. Psalm 44:1-8. It is well if we base our appeals and cries for help to God not upon ourselves (our own good name, what we imagine we have achieved, and what we have done or not done); but rather upon His good name (PSALM 44:5; PSALM 44:8), what He has done in the past (cf. 1 ...read more

    The incarnation of Jesus Christ is a miracle that profoundly effects our everyday life.

    There’s a pastor by the name of Casey Zack who related a story about a woman in his congregation, a Mrs. Alex. For the past 10 years Mrs. Alex was in charge of putting on and directing the children's Christmas Pageant. Every year something always went wrong. She cast her son, Blake, in the ...read more

    Scriptural testimony of the resurrection of Jesus.

    A PROCLAMATION TO BE BELIEVED. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about. Here in 1 Corinthians, Paul is not teaching his readers something new, but reviewing that which he taught ...read more

    This sermon shows how miracles happen. This is a brief meditation that could also be used for a Blue Christmas service or for Christmas Eve.

    Every year during the Advent season, advertisers and retailers will frequently used the expression, “The magic of Christmas.” Well, the kind of Christmas magic that they're talking about is a trick that retailers play on us that makes our money disappear. The true Christmas is not about magic. ...read more

    Fourth Sunday Of Advent, Year A

    The same sign given to Ahaz and Joseph is given to you and me. "The virgin has conceived and has given birth to a Son. And He is Emmanuel. God with us." His name is Jesus.

    Sometimes dreams are prompted by impressions and “residues” of the previous day that we take into our sleep, thus Joseph’s dream consists in his waking, conscious desire to protect Mary, preserve his own honor and resolve the dilemma of Mary’s pregnancy by divorcing her quietly. God uses Joseph’s ...read more

    How do you like 2 to 1 odds?

    On the First Sunday of Advent, we light the first candle, traditionally called the Candle of Hope to remember to hopefully look for the coming of Christ. The virtue of hope originates from God through the grace of faith. It draws the Christian towards God, providing him or her with hope in God ...read more

    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)?

    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)? The expression means malice. He reminded them of God’s wrath, which is not the emotion of anger, but God’s holiness that brings judgement in its train of glory. ...read more

    The tribes of the earth may well mourn at His presence, but He will send His angels to gather together His own elect people from the four corners of the earth. Take courage, dear Christian!

    THE RETURN OF THE SON OF MAN. Matthew 24:23-31. Jesus here warns us against the danger of false Christs and false prophets. Even the very elect of God might be deceived, He says, "if it were possible" (Matthew 24:24). Well, how shall the second coming of Christ be known? Will it be ...read more
