    We can Anticipate the fulfillment of God’s promises in three ways as we see how the 1) Shepherds hear the News (Luke 2:8-12), 2) Heavenly Hosts Rejoice (Luke 2:13-14) and finally how the 3) Shepherds See and Share (Luke 2:15-20)

    As we have been singing various carols tonight, many ring with the theme of anticipation.

    Desire God's Glory Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,203 views

    David fervently desired to be in God’s temple all the days of his life, so he could behold the glory and the beauty of the Lord. In contrast a majority of people simply wish to receive material blessings and miracles from the Lord, with no desire whatsoever to see the glory of God.

    Desire God’s Glory We read in Psalm 91:9-10, “Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.” (KJV) Psalm 91:10 is rendered this way in another version, “So nothing bad ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 289 views

    There are so many people who are lonely because of various reasons. Jesus the Son of God, experienced loneliness and desertion too. Jesus died in our place to reconcile us back to God and has promised those who trust in Him that He will be with us from now to eternity, so we never need be alone.

    We read in Mark 14:50, “And they all left Him and fled.” These messages for the next two or three weeks will focus on the way of the cross that Jesus had to undergo. As the time drew near for Jesus to be crucified, He faced some of the loneliest moments, when all of His disciples deserted Him, ...read more

    A small study on Matthew 14:22-33. Concentrates on showing the importance of focusing on Christ. Appropriate for an evening sermon.

     | 6,522 views

    There are disputes over how often we observe the Lord’s supper, disputes over what type of bread, what type of wine, or juice to use. But there should be no dispute that we should observe the Lord’s supper in a right attitude!

    A.T. Pierson (A pastor in the 1800’s) The link between the cross and the crown is the Table of the Lord. Do not forget when you sit down at the communion, that the bread and cup point back to Christ’s accomplished work, and forward to your accomplished salvation. I.
