    When the SIGNS are no longer VISIBLE, does that mean that the SIGNIFICANCE of Christmas is no longer VALUABLE?

    CHRISTMAS IS OVER...NOW WHAT? Luke 2:1-20 I have a bit of post-Christmas humor to share with you. It’s called "The Month After Christmas." ‘Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house, nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

    All theology must lead to doxology. Our position in Christ should lead to praise which will lead to practice. Our response should be wow, wonder and worship.

    Living for the Glory of God Romans 11:33-36 Rev. Brian Bill 11/16/08 A generation ago J.B. Phillips wrote a book with this title: Your God Is Too Small. This captures the struggle many of us have because our God is much smaller than the God of the Bible. This morning one of my goals is to help ...read more

    Jesus call to discipleship is a call of sacrifice. Anything that stands in the way of answering that call must be deserted. This truth is shown through the encounter of Jesus with the rich young ruler.

    Little did I know when I planned this sermon, that we would have a live camel at VBS this year. At any rate, I want to tell you a story. It is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to the Arctic in 1845. That odyssey was a turning point in Arctic exploration because of its well-publicized ...read more

    The Biblical MAndate to Forgive

    This morning I will be bringing forth a message on "forgiveness."

    Jesus is honored by Matthew as his new Saviour. To show his acceptance of Christ as his Lord, he throws a party-a meal-in honor of Jesus. Things go well until some nay-sayes come. Jesus sets them stright and sends them packing to find the truth about Him.
