    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,903 views

    This message describes those prepared for Christ’s coming and those who were not. The religious crowd is indifferent. The leaders are worried. A widow is watching and an old man is waiting. Magi are wandering and worshipping. Which one describes you?

    Don’t miss Christmas (portions of this sermon are borrowed from illustrations and sermons on Sermon Central) Christmas time is a time filled with traditions. There is the time to get a Christmas tree and put it up along with the decorations. There are presents to buy, so there is shopping to do ...read more

Blessed are those who have just heard that they have a terminal illness. Blessed are you when you have been fired from your job. ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,997 views

    Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

    Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

     | 1,181 views

    Sex outside of marriage is so commonplace (inside and outside the church), and many people do not even consider the idea of getting married, that it appears that no-one actually knows what God wants for us.

    “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a ...read more
