    In the midst of the Christmas rush, Christ is oftentimes left out as we forget that it is His birthday we are celebrating. The precise meaning of that first Christmas is clear: God came to earth in human form.

    Let Us Go to Bethlehem and Find the Christ of Christmas Lk 2:1-14 More than 2000 years ago there was a Man born contrary to the laws of life. This Man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity.... Only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived, that was during His ...read more

    This message is for the first week of Advent. Our church is doing the Advent Conspiracy and this week we look at Worshipping Fully.

    Have you ever given any thought to the story of Cain and Abel? Perhaps its the fact that today we were taking up a special offering - or maybe its because of our topic this morning, but I’ve had the story of Cain and Abel in my mind all week... This mornings topic is ‘Worship Fully’ - It’s the ...read more

     | 2,326 views

    The overarching message of the Advent is "Peace on Earth". But when we look around, peace seems to be the last thing we seem to be having. How can we experience the peace that Advent offers?

If we look around us, not many of us find peace, but conflicts and war and strife and violence in abundance all around us. Two seasonal aspects brought this topic up to the top of my mind.

    A first-person narrative of Zechariah's experience before the angel Gabriel.

    I resent a little your pastor’s description of me in the bulletin. “Zechariah the Silent”? It’s true, for nine months I was unable to croak out a single “Shalom!” to those I passed on the street. But ever since God opened my mouth again I have not stopped ...read more

    This Advent sermon uses some of the lights of the Christmas Season as illustrations to teach us how to get the most out of this Advent/Christmas.

    INTRODUCTION Are you afraid of the dark? When I was a child I used to be afraid.

When we would come home at night, I would let my ...read more
