    The second advent and the great separation.

    AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH. Luke 17:26-37. The suddenness of the lightning flash (cf. Luke 17:24) illustrates the unexpectedness of Jesus’ return. Jesus goes on to describe the unpreparedness of the population of the earth for such a momentous event. LUKE 17:26-27. “And as it was in the days of ...read more

    A sermon for the first Sunday of Advent.

    “Preparing the Way” Luke 1:5-17 Adam Hamilton’s book: “Prepare the Way for the Lord” was used as a template for this sermon. This is the first Sunday of Advent. The word “Advent” means coming, arrival, or presence, and Advent starts four Sundays before Christmas. If we could summarize the ...read more

    A sermon for the second Sunday in Advent.

    “Accepting and then Reflecting” much of the inspiration for this sermon comes from Adam Hamilton's book: "Prepare the Way for the Lord." Luke 1:57-64, 67, 76-79 Last week we left Zechariah in the Temple, speaking with the angel Gabriel. Gabriel had told him that, although he and ...read more

    A sermon for the third Sunday of Advent.

    “What Should We Do?” Luke 3:1-18 For the past two weeks, we’ve looked at the events leading up to John the Baptist’s birth. And then, Luke summarizes John’s childhood with these words: “The child grew up, becoming strong in character. He was in the wilderness until he began his public ...read more

Joseph and Mary were, for lack of a more accurate word, engaged. Most scholars believe that Mary herself was around 15 years at the time. They didn’t even live ...read more

    God's Love Gift (Advent Season)

    Contributed by Frank Queen on Dec 13, 2021
     | 3,811 views

    Advent/Christmas Sermon, specifically on the subject of God's love.

    John 3:16, Romans 5:8 As we are in the final Advent Sunday before Christmas, it makes sense the topic is love. The gospel is rooted in love (John 3:16). In fact the whole Bible is; that's really all the Bible is, it's a love-letter from God. Tragically, some abuse it, weaponize it to ...read more

    Advent: Slow Down! Sharpen Your Axe.

     | 6,810 views

    A short talk for the start of the busy Advent season. This talk uses one of may favourite stories to encourage people to rest, stop, slow down in the midst of a busy time to rest.

    Jesus said, “Come with me … to a quiet place and get some rest” (Mark 6:31). One of my favourite stories is about the world wood chopping competition. Now the champion was a bit older than he used to be – well, who isn’t – but he was still the champion. Everyone ...read more

    My Spirit Rejoices

     | 19,094 views

    Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

    The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn. It is also the most passionate, the wildest, and one might almost say the most revolutionary Advent hymn that has ever been sung. This is not the gentle, tender, dreamy Mary as we often see her portrayed in paintings. The Mary who is speaking here is ...read more

    A devotion for a hanging of the greens service.

    Hanging of Greens Devotion Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 Christmas comes on December 25th, but for many of us it starts long before that.
