    Sing In Exultation Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021
     | 2,197 views

    In this sermon, I am linking Psalm 95 with John F. Wade’s hymn, “O Come, All Ye Faithful" as we are called to come into the very Presence of our Lord and King and Savior triumphantly, singing His praises and making a joyful noise.

    This morning, my brothers and sisters, you have been personally invited into the very presence of God. “O come, all ye faithful (stanza 1) … “come into His presence” (Psalm 95:2). What a singular, unspeakable honor, amen? We have been invited to come into the presence of the “King above all ...read more

    Let All Creation Sing Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021
     | 2,220 views

    In this sermon, I link Psalm 98 with the Isaac Watts' hymn "Joy to the World." The Advent theme is joy, so I ask: Do you want to have a merry Christmas? Do you want to have a joy-filled Christmas? Then look to Jesus.

    T-minus 6 days, amen? Christmas is next Saturday … it’ll be here before we know it, amen? How many of you have all your Christmas shopping done? How many of you have all your presents wrapped and under the tree? How many of you still have to put up your tree, amen? Over the past few weeks ...read more

    Now What?

     | 2,536 views

    A sermon about the hope we have in the post-holiday season, when many are left asking, "Now what?"

    INTRO Have you ever noticed how the day after Christmas is kind of a letdown? There is always this build up to Christmas. Some of us have had the decorations hung for over a month. We have sung the songs, watched the movies, bought and wrapped the gifts, and cooked the meals. There is admittedly ...read more

    The Christmas Truce On 1914

    The amazing Christmas Truce on the Western Front during WW1.

    Christmas Truce in the trenches in 1914 As we celebrate Christmas, I am reminded of one of the more curious events that happened in the First World War - “The Christmas Truce of 1914”, which on the Western Front. It all appears to have started on the evening of 24th December, the day the ...read more

    The Window Of Witness: Simeon & Anna, Do You Wait Well?

     | 4,246 views

    Have you ever been a witness to something you knew was important? Have you seen something maybe you weren't supposed to see? Something bad? Uh oh, I better call the police. Or, have you witnessed something beautiful? A "God moment" you might say? Yes, God is in this.

    The Holy Name Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 1, 2022
     | 1,504 views

    The name of God and his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is so often abused in our culture, that we must in this new year treat that Name with respect and honor.

    On January 1, Moses tells the people how Aaron and his following high priests should bless them. The strange phrase, “so shall they place my name upon the people of Israel” is part of the direction. In Hebrew, the word “name” (hashem) stands for the person and the person’s power and authority. The ...read more

    Funeral Service: Step-Up

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 5, 2022
     | 1,883 views

    “Had I given up in that season of the loss of my first wife, had I given up and thrown [away] [God’s] strength and just started to living into addictions and living into my feelings and going out and living how I wanted to, I would not be living in the promises that I’m living today.”

    The spiritual step-up is increasing one’s faith and prayer life and service to God when a tragedy or trial hits you, like the death of a loved one. Admittedly, when life gets too heavy, it's hard to step up, so Jesus invites us to lighten our load so we can take a step in faith. And, Anna, ...read more

    Anna, The Prophetess Series

     | 10,611 views

    "She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four" (Luke 2:36–37). Anna had been married only seven years when she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the rest of her life.

    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,507 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    Christmas 2C. We learn from Jesus as a boy in the temple, that when God cannot be found, it is we who are looking in the wrong places.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Lost and Found” “My, how you have grown!” Those words, or something similar were uttered in households across America last week as families ...read more

    Even as a child, Jesus was fully human, but understand how special His relationship was with God. Today, we have the same opportunities to know God as well, if only we will devote ourselves to His business.

    Introduction - When we were last in the Gospel of Luke, it was a very familiar story • We discussed Advent (the waiting & revealing of the Messiah) • We also rejoiced at the birth of Jesus – God incarnate (Immanuel) - Today we’ll begin a study of Luke; this should take ~ 3 months (to ...read more

    Anna shared about Jesus, bringing hope to the hopeful.

    THE THANKSGIVING AND TESTIMONY OF ANNA. Luke 2:36-40. Anna was a prophetess of great age, who departed not from the temple, and served God with fasting and prayers both night and day. It is interesting that Luke calls her a "prophetess," since we have long been taught that there was no ...read more
