    This morning we’re going to zero in on four names, given to Jesus, 700 years before He was even born!

Here are some examples: * Dr. Bowser ...read more

    Looking at the prophecies of Jesus we can see that God does care for us and that He has a plan for our lives.

    3 Prophetic Statements Sometimes life seems out of control and our response to the problems and difficulties we see around us is to fear. We worry that God either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about what is going on. We worry that evil is getting the upper hand. We worry that God can’t stop the ...read more

     | 3,512 views

    2nd sermon of this title by me ten years apart. This one is for Christmas 2015 - uses a metaphor that Christmas eve is a splash of colour on a black backdrop of history. I will probably do a painting as I preach it.

    Christmas eve. A night to remember LK 2:8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be ...read more

    Even at Christmas we need Easter! Using the true story of a little girl who died on Christmas morning, this sermon points out that there are times when the darkness in life requires a light that is brighter than the Christmas message alone.

    A little girl touched our lives this Christmas. The last eight days of her brief life moved us away from our materialistic Christmas selfishness and turned our attention to someone in need. She reminded us of something all too often forgotten in our typical expressions of Christmas gift-giving, ...read more
