    The birth of Jesus gives us hope that extends to every aspect of my life - past, present, and future.

    Advent This morning is the first Sunday of Advent. Most of us are probably familiar with that concept, but for some of us our familiarity may be limited to those calendars with little windows that open up revealing a gift or treat for each day of the month leading up to Christmas.

    God's gift of love in the person of His Son is an example of how we are to love others.

    This morning we are going to begin by playing a little game called “Name That Christmas Song.” I’ll read a phrase from a well-known holiday song, and you try to “name that tune”: • We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be. (“Sleigh Ride”) • When we finally kiss goodnight, ...read more

    To have real joy I must stay connected to Jesus.

    I’m not going to ask for a show of hands, but how many of you feel like this this morning. [Show “Keep Calm. It’s only Christmas” meme] The truth is that in spite of the words of the famous Andy Williams song that tells us that Christmas is the “the most wonderful time of the year”, the reality ...read more

    If I want to know peace, I need to know Jesus.

    When you see these symbols, what do you think of? [Show circle peace symbol, two fingers V peace sign, and an image of a dove with an olive branch.] These three images are very different, but they all are very recognizable as signs of peace.

    How can two different groups of people read the same love letter from God and yet one sees it as the source of their lives and the other as yesterday’s trash? This sermon is going to answer.

    What you think you know about spiritual gifts, is probably wrong, in ways that actually inhibit ministry rather than encouraging it.

    This morning I would like us to think about spiritual gifts: skills and abilities given by God the Holy Spirit to followers of Christ for the purpose of ministry. And my hypothesis is that what you probably believe about spiritual gifts is wrong. Wrong in a way that’s diminishing your joy in ...read more

    We respond to God’s grace and nurture our relationship with God by observing a day of rest. The world can get along without our involvement (for a day).

    Exodus 20:3-11 “The Gift of Rest” INTRODUCTION We have a problem. A lack of sleep among the U.S. workforce is costing approximately $411 billion and losing 1.2 million working days per year, a new study has found.

    This is a sermon that I preached on Christmas that describes how Jesus is the perfect gift. Many times when we buy a gift for a person there are a few things that can determine whether it's a perfect gift. Well the good news is Jesus fits every category.

    Christmas Message – The perfect gift Luke 2:8-11 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do ...read more

    Things are not always as they appear. Little can be much, and much can be little. The Lord knows the desires of our hearts and the motivation behind our gifts.

    An Abundant Gift Mark 12: 41-44 This had been an eventful day for Jesus and the disciples. Having returned to the Temple in Jerusalem for the third time, Jesus had dealt with several confrontations.

    Parting Gifts

    In an effort to give us the perfect gift, God did not send a general or a politician or a preacher. He took on flesh and gave us Himself. In the words of the late great preacher Wallace Hamilton: “God came walking down the stairway of Heaven with a baby in His arms.”

    Mary prepares dinner while her son, Jesus, plays at her feet. Joseph is putting away his tools as he wraps up his day. Suddenly there’s a knock on the door. When Joseph opens the door, he and Mary and Jesus are confronted with a strange and interesting sight … a group of oddly dressed men who ...read more

    Don’t overestimate yourself and don’t underestimate yourself either. Just use your God-given gifts to serve.

    Just a few years ago, Dave Barry, a columnist for the Washington Post, posted his comments about the typical male in the first week of December. He wrote, “Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable ...read more
