    A sermon for the 3rd Sunday in Advent preached 12/12/2009. It had a dual text, the other is John 3:7-18 and shows us how we as Christians can rejoice in repentance!

In fact, the traditional Latin name for this Sunday in Advent is Gaudete, meaning, Joy, based on that verse, which was for years a portion of the Introit for the day. Yet, joy is ...read more

    A life of peace and joy, that’s the kind of life I want to live; a life without worries and troubles.

Now, let’s go back to reality and see where we really are. ...read more

    John the baptist doubts Jesus which leads him to ask questions about Jesus.

    Doubt Doubt is a part of life. We believe in a God who is all powerful and magnificent and yet we have never seen Him. Without doubt there could be no faith for all we would have would be certainty. Sometimes we think of doubt as the opposite of faith. That is not the case. Unbelief is the ...read more
