    Week one of advent starts with the message that in the birth of Christ, in his life, death, and resurrection--Hope Enters the Word & As it was then it remains today "Hope is on the Way"

    Introduction: If I may indulge you with a quick grammar lesson this morning, I would like to look at the dictionary definition of the word hope. I want to draw your attention to what this word means when it is used as a noun instead of a verb. I need you to go all the way back to elementary ...read more

    The 1st Sunday in advent is a time to focus on the second coming of Christ and making sure we are prepared.

    It’s hard to believe but we are already into the Christmas season, and I’m not talking about the shopping season that began on black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I am referring to the Christian season we call Advent. As I’ve already mentioned we are in the first Sunday of Advent which ...read more

     | 21,694 views

    On the first Sunday of Advent we light the candle of prophecy. It reminds us of the hope we have in the return of Christ. This sermon shows obvious false prophecies in contrast witht the prophecy of Christ’s return - that the focus is not a day or time

    Introduction: In the late 19th Century in America, there was a wave of enthusiasm for prophecies predicting the actual date for Christ’s Second Coming. One such prophet was an Adventist leader William Miller (1782-1849). And it is in his movement that both the JW’s and the Seventh Day ...read more

    Squander yourself for hope in Christ.

    A three-year-old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from the tissue paper. “Here’s the donkey!” he said. “Here’s a king,” and “Here’s a camel!” When he finally got to a one-piece tiny infant molded to his crib, he proclaimed, “Here’s baby ...read more

    Advent 1c--Vigilance Series

    Advent is a time to renew a theocentric approach in an often-anxious world.

    Advent1C Welcome to this First Sunday of Advent. Today’s Readings from Luke’s Gospel is a little unsettling. In it, Christ seems to be describing the end of the world. Listen to his words: “There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed ...read more

    Fourth Sunday Of Advent, A--Four Advent Annunciations

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 8, 2022
     | 1,754 views

    To all the Marys everywhere; to all the Josephs everywhere; to all the Pauls everywhere; and to even all the Ahazes everywhere.

    There are four annunciations or announcements in our Gospel this Sunday. 1. To all the Marys everwhere— Mary’s Annunciation— reminds me of an advertising slogan for a shoe company that says, “No great story starts, “it was cold, so I stayed in.” In classical Greek and Roman mythology every ...read more

    WE invite God to render the Heaven come down and shake the mountains that we might hear, that we might pray, that we might become vulnerable, because we are so desolate or empty.

    Isaiah Chapter 64 “This Advent come into our Lives” 1. The gist of this reading is an appeal to God for help and mercy for a worshiping community that finds itself in dire circumstances. • The Text Begins with the mighty works of God 63:7-14 Great acts in Egypt of ...read more
