    Joseph

    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,846 views

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more

    A sermon for the fourth Sunday in Advent. Peace.

    "Peace" When I look back to memories of Christmas past, particularly memories of Christmas as a child, I always find that I remember Christmas Eve more than I remember Christmas Day. I wonder why that is? Perhaps it is the sense of build-up and expectation, the sense of excitement about what is ...read more

     | 5,863 views

    When there is no sun or stars in your life, like those sailors in that verse in Acts 27, we finally give up all hope…When there is neither Jesus or His hopes (love,joy,etc.), we finally give up all hope…and lapse into depression,get moody,or get sick.

    Title: The Hope of Israel Scripture: Acts 28 Life itself seems to tell us things that we can reasonably expect. Doesn’t it? Things that I, as a U.S. citizen, can reasonably expect may be somewhat different than those say of a North Korean citizen, or an Australian, or someone from a number of ...read more

    Looking beyond reality, into the spiritual, with faith.

    Faith isn’t easy. Sometimes it takes all of our strength to muster up our faith, looking beyond reality, believing into what we can’t see. But faith is far more rewarding than our “reality.” The problem with “Reality” 1. Inspires low expectations *Many Christians come to services with low ...read more

    “The eyes of the Lord go to and fro to strengthen those whose hearts are committed to Him …” 2 Chron. 16:9 When God is looking for someone to lift up, will He find you where He thought you would be?

    David was found where expected (tending sheep): When Prophet Samuel was looking for someone to anoint as king over Israel, David was found expectedly tending his father’s sheep (1 Sam 16:11-13); He did not stray away from the field doing something else. When the nation was looking for someone to ...read more
