  • Baptism Of The Lord

     | 4,895 views

    I once heard a preacher who said something like, “My old man has died with Christ in baptism but sometimes the devil does CPR and manages to resuscitate him.”

    Romans 6:3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. The ...read more

  • Abraham: The Call

    The call of Abraham is addressed in three elements contained in the following statement: ’God calls ordinary people.’

    There’s a children’s Bible song called “Father Abraham.” The words speak of Abraham having many children, and also speaks of you and I being Abraham’s children. It reminds me of a couple back home. They adopted two children because they believed they couldn’t have any biologically, but then they ...read more

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Dec 6, 2015
     | 5,815 views

    Adapted from a Timothy Quill Advent series.

    I began a sermon series last week by saying that no one likes waiting—especially not at the emergency room of a hospital. But another place we don’t like having to wait is at the airport. If you’re travelling alone and your flight has been delayed, it’s no fun having to wait ...read more

    Because God took on our salvation we have every reason to wait for Jesus' second coming with joy. (Sermon adapted from Advent series by Timothy Quill.)

    Did you hear about the Christmas tree that was worth over 11 million dollars? Five years ago the luxury Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi was trying to make the Guinness Book of World Records with the most expensive Christmas tree. So they decorated a 43-foot tree with 131 different pieces of gold ...read more

  • Fourth Sunday Of Advent, A--Four Advent Annunciations

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 8, 2022
     | 1,866 views

    To all the Marys everywhere; to all the Josephs everywhere; to all the Pauls everywhere; and to even all the Ahazes everywhere.

    There are four annunciations or announcements in our Gospel this Sunday. 1. To all the Marys everwhere— Mary’s Annunciation— reminds me of an advertising slogan for a shoe company that says, “No great story starts, “it was cold, so I stayed in.” In classical Greek and Roman mythology every ...read more

  • First Sunday Of Advent, Year B: Advent Hope

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2023
     | 2,345 views

    Optimism is an assessment. Hope is an act.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?" 1 Advent is not a penitential season; it’s a period of devout and expectant delight, yet we intuitively understand that it is not possible ...read more

    Squander yourself for hope in Christ.

    A three-year-old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from the tissue paper. “Here’s the donkey!” he said. “Here’s a king,” and “Here’s a camel!” When he finally got to a one-piece tiny infant molded to his crib, he proclaimed, “Here’s baby ...read more

    Let us recommit ourselves to experiencing the peace of God in our lives and in our fellowship.

    The God of Peace, II Corinthians 13:11-14 Introduction I know a man who not long ago gave his heart to Christ, and has since lived a very happy Christian, who for a long time prior to his conversion had been so eaten up by care and anxiety that he had been ill-natured on account of it. His ...read more

  • Advent 2 2016 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 9, 2016
     | 4,232 views

    The Incarnation took immense planning; a righteous virgin and a carpenter from an obscure town, a pagan emperor taking a census, a journey, a manger, the family lineage. All of these had to be in place and timed perfectly. We serve a great God! PTL!!

    Scripture Reading: Luke 2:1-7 Please find this passage in your Bibles. “O Little Town of Bethlehem” – sing the first verse A Cappella as the folks find the Scripture reading for the day. We love that little Christmas song, don’t we? Let’s go ahead and read from the ...read more

  • Advent: Repentance And Preparation

     | 4,919 views

    John the baptiser called for believers to repent. This sermon asks what we need to repent of, reminds us we need to turn back to God, and calls for preparation for what God has for us this next year.

    If you were going to describe the time 20 years ago in 1989 when the Churches of the town worked together to plan and produce Festival 89 I wonder what you would say. More specifically, if you were going to date the time and the place and the event without naming the date I wonder what you would ...read more

    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

    I came across a suggested prayer for all preachers this week, and it goes like this: “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” Well, here we go! Are you ready? Are you prepared? Put your hands up if you are ready and prepared ... did you get done yesterday ...read more
