    Mary The Slave-Girl

     | 5,063 views

    At Christmas, we might wonder what made Mary so special to God? We may find the answer in one word she used to describe herself to Gabriel: "Handmaid".

    Mary the "Slave-Girl" Luke 1:26-38 Pastor Dave Campbell Mary must have been quite a girl. To be chosen of God to bear His Son and raise Him to adulthood was no small thing! When the angel Gabriel appeared to her and spoke of God’s plan for salvation and her part in it all, she responded with ...read more

    God’s gift during Advent is the promise of a peaceful kingdom, even in the midst of pain and suffering

    The prophet Isaiah lived during the time around 720 BC, which is a significant date in Hebrew history, because it marks the time of the fall of the ten Northern Tribes of Israel. The Assyrian Empire, which was the world’s only superpower at the time, overtakes these ten tribes. We find in the first ...read more

    Where Peace Begins Series

    Peace begins in the heart, and is not imposed from outside, for discord also begins within; but in a committed relationship there is a matrix for genuine peace.

    It had been a long, tiring day. A day full of frustrations. Plans so carefully laid in the morning had been forcefully set aside by evening. Good intentions for a day of accomplishment had been ruthlessly destroyed by many intrusions. Now it was night, and cold, and lonely. No one around. No ...read more

    The "Good" of this news!

    This passage starts with judgment, and it ends with good news. I hate to tell you this – it’s not very Christmas-sy, but good news will always have to have judgment in it. If there is no judgment in the story anywhere, then there is nothing, “good” about it. It is just news. And so as we ...read more

    Disappointment can be followed by discovery and renewed dedication.

    AWAKE TO THE TRUTH OF CHRISTMAS "When Joseph woke, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him..." (Matthew 1 : 24).

    The prophecy of Isaiah was more than just an abstract description of the coming Messiah; it tells us of the personal application of his titles.

    The passage in Isaiah 9: 6-7 is one of the spectacular prophecies given in the book of Isaiah about Messiah’s coming. I have read this passage many times, sung it, and heard it read. This week, however, two words have come alive in my spirit; two little words that change the whole perspective of ...read more

    The premise of this sermon is that even in the midst of life’s sorrow, there is a depth of joy that abides within us.

    Advent III – Joy Luke 2:26-55 In the wonderfully reflective book entitled, The Prophet, one can contemplate these words: The woman questioned the one she called Prophet of God, saying: “Speak to us now of Joy and Sorrow”.

    Title: Merry Easter!
