    A Good Place To Start

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Dec 7, 2002

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more

    The disciples became followers of Jesus when John the Baptist pointed Him out, however they only became true disciples when they were willing to leave everything.

    From a Follower to a Disciple In the early years of the first century the people of Israel were waiting for the Messiah to come. They were waiting for the person who the prophets had spoken of, to come and set the people free. A man then appeared in the wilderness. He started baptising people ...read more

    In an atmosphere of false teachings that sought to confuse the church and split it. John writes here about the true fellowship of the church and how we can recognize it.

    Today I want to begin a series on the book of I John. It is believed by most that John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was the author of this letter. He wrote this letter before he was exiled to the island of Patmos. Many put the date at around 85-90 A.D., which is real close to the date that ...read more

    A Glorious Decline Series

    based on 25 ratings
     | 6,866 views

    The nobility of John the Baptist submission to God’s plan for his life is contrasted with Lucifer’s ambitions for prominence. The value of a healthy appreciation for the sovereignty of God is considered.

    A Glorious Decline Fortifying the Foundations # 8 John 3:22-36 Intro: When we say the word “down”, what kind of thoughts go through your mind?—down and out, down under, down hearted, a downer. By and large “down” is considered negative. In contrast, “up” sounds real good.—up and coming, upper ...read more

     | 4,475 views

    John shows us the model of preparing the way for the coming Savior, but preaching the good news in the wilderness--good news of love, forgiveness, new life and a relationship with God.

    Mark 1:1-8 “A Model to Follow” INTRODUCTION The greeting, “Merry Christmas” rings a little hollow this year. Try as we might to joyfully prepare for Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth, we fall short of our goal. Anxiety, fear, depression, and grief describe the mood of the season ...read more

    John pointed out that Jesus is true God as well as true man. His diety as well as his manhood were required for him to assure our salvation.

Where the Synoptic Gospels often ...read more
