    First Advent Sunday Year A Remembering that in the Second Advent we will not know the day or time of it.

    When I read over the words of the Gospel reading today from Matthew, I thought of an old Henry Fonda movie I recently saw. The movie is called Fail Safe, it’s the story of a nuclear alert gone wrong. A flight crew aboard a U.S. bomber group of B-58 Hustlers if memory serves me correct. They think ...read more

    Jesus gives us a peak at what the future holds.

    If you look all around you, there are signs of what is coming in the days ahead. The leaves are off of the trees, the wind is getting colder, and the sun is setting earlier. If you walk in to Wal-Mart, the shorts are on clearance and the scarves, gloves, shovels, and ice scrapers are in prominent ...read more

    The 1st Sunday in advent is a time to focus on the second coming of Christ and making sure we are prepared.

    It’s hard to believe but we are already into the Christmas season, and I’m not talking about the shopping season that began on black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I am referring to the Christian season we call Advent. As I’ve already mentioned we are in the first Sunday of Advent which ...read more

    The One whose coming I’m looking forward to this morning won’t be coming from the North Pole & riding in a sleigh. Instead, He’s coming from Heaven, & arriving on the clouds of the sky!

    While we sing and talk of one coming on a sleigh, we must remember that Jesus will also be Coming to Town but rather than on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, he will be in the clouds and rather than by reindeer, he will come with power and glory!

    INTRO Isn’t it amazing what Christmas has become? How the sweet calm picture of the birth of one named Jesus has become so much about rush, money, and envy.

    The Creed says "from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead". Jesus’ coming and judgment go hand in hand. How should we be living our lives in the light of this?

    The Apostle’s Creed Together: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the ...read more

    Some people fear the end of the world. Others (even preachers) don’t believe Jesus is coming back. Why do some "Christians" think like this? And how should we feel when we think about Jesus’ 2nd coming?

    There are days that can be scary. The sky gets dark, the wind whips through the trees and there is a feel of danger in the atmosphere around you. Have you ever seen a day like that? Back in the Spring of 1780 the Connecticut House of Representatives was in session when suddenly the sky overhead ...read more
