    "o Come, O Come, Emmanuel" Series

    I have always wanted to so an Advent series based on traditional Christmas carols/hymns. We've gotten so used to them that I think we miss the depth of the theology contained within in them. One of the most ancient is the beautiful hymn that contains the ancient names of Jesus.

They provide an almost mystical connection with the endless anthems of praise raising at this very moment before the heavenly throne. They ...read more

    The message examines faith and trust in operation. The Psalmist recognised the care of Almighty God in Israel’s affairs, even in the midst of doubt. Our faith should be strong but often it is fickle. The Psalmist went through time of trust and bouts of doubt.
