    How important is celebrating the birthday of Christ? How important was the birth of Christ? How does the differentiation between these two concepts help us sort out the meaningful from the frivolous aspects of December 25?

    Galatians 4:4-5 (NASB) “But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” Today is the first Sunday of Advent What is Advent? ...read more

    Mary's Side Of The Story

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 5, 2017

     | 28,908 views

    I wonder, how does Mary’s story speak to you this Advent season? In a few weeks from now, Christmas Sunday would seem rather odd if we did not hear from Mary.

    This is not an original sermon, points borrowed from Advent 3/C, December 17, 2006 Lynne M. Dolan (I believe the message was entitled “Nothing Impossible with God”). I have restructured the message, however; want to ensure I give proper credit. TITLE: MARY’S SIDE OF THE STORY SCRIPTURE: ...read more

    Can we say to John the Baptist this Advent, “The Wind Brought Your Voice To Me?”

    We don’t sing the Gloria in Advent until the angels sing the "Gloria in excelsis Deo" at Christmas but we do hear a prophetic voice, crying out in the desert, which are often windy places. The voice is from John the Baptist, carried on the whistling wind, that says, “Prepare the way of ...read more
