    Acceptance And Rejection

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 25, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,559 views

    We know what both acceptance and rejection feel like. What must God feel at our rejection of Him? In Jesus He turns around our rejection into His acceptance of us. We can accept our acceptance.

    “He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him.” Do you have experience with both acceptance and rejection? I imagine you do. No one is so fortunate as to have had everything he wants, and so we have all experienced rejection. And no one is so hard-up that she has been ...read more

    Was that first tree in the Garden a mistake, or always a part of the plan

    Introduction There have been some big changes in our sanctuary since last Sunday. What catches your attention the most? For some it is the glow of the advent wreath candles, or the arrangements in the windows but for me, hands down, it’s the tree. For my money there is nothing like a tree. When ...read more

     | 4,282 views

    This is the second sermon in a series that examines some of the overlooked gifts that God gave us that first Christmas. This message looks at the gift of hope.

    Charles Schultz highlighted the importance of hope in one of his “Peanuts” comic strips. Lucy and Linus were sitting in front of the television set when Lucy said to Linus, "Go get me a glass of water." Linus looked surprised, "Why should I do anything for you? You never do anything for ...read more

    Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,537 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

    The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more

    People have and have always had different reactions to the Christmas story.

    True peace does not come through contented circumstances, but through a relationship with God

    As I was bringing our children to church Wednesday night, they were taking note of all the homes that were lit up and decorated for Christmas.

    The Lord denies letting King David build the Israelites’ house of worship. But he gives David something better: a two-fold promise of a house. One house would last for a few centuries, and the other house would last forever, housing believers of every age

    Advent IV II Samuel 7:8-11 There are some phrases that just come across better in one language than another. Take our sermon theme for instance. “My house is your house.” It isn’t hard to catch the meaning of that phrase, but it really doesn’t quite have the ring to it as it would in Spanish, “Mi ...read more
