     | 9,664 views

    John the Baptist was an unexpected person bringing an unexpected message at an unexpected time. A communion sermon for Advent.

    Every one of us has certain expectations at Christmas. We expect to buy gifts and we expect to receive gifts. We expect the lights and the colors and the sights and the sounds of the season. We expect to eat a lot! We expect long lines in the department stores, and apparently this year more than ...read more

    "Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

    As some of said, “If we expect to hear the Christmas gospel without the Advent call to repentance, we will find ourselves surprised by John and unprepared for Jesus.” So, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to the message and ministry of both John and Jesus.

    “It wasn’t what I expected.” Whether you are young or old, a man or woman, a girl or a boy, you have probably experienced something that caused you to have that reaction. Perhaps it was connected to some food that you tried. You were feeling a little adventurous and you ordered something at a ...read more

    Ordinary Events That Changed The World Series

    Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Dec 2, 2024

    A Christmas message focused on the Innkeeper. When we examine the Christmas story and its many events, we see that they generally begin with insignificant, ordinary activities. Yet God does extraordinary things through these events.

    OUTLINE From Ordinary to Extraordinary - Part 1 Ordinary events that changed the world Dr. Tom Bartlett December 1, 2024 Luke 2:4-7 (NIV) 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He ...read more

In 1845, America was at the beginning of what was called “Manifest Destiny.” That was the idea that we were destined to explore and inhabit and eventually annex the west. While we were ...read more

    We are to be in a constant state of reading for the Lords return. This worries many Christians but although some need to change, others are more ready than they think and they need to know.

    This sermon was delivered Gordon McCulloch to the congregation at Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 11th August 2019; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. Genesis 15:1-6 Psalm 33:12-22 Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 Luke 12:32-40 “Please join me ...read more

    The supper is ready, and the invitations have been sent. But what is an invitation?

     | 1,898 views

    The communion, the covenant, the denial, the sifting, the charge, all of these things pointed to Jesus fulfilling His ultimate purpose (to die for us), and the focus of the disciples was still on earthly things. Will we see the lesson Jesus was teaching and apply it to our lives?

    The Lord’s Supper (Luke, Part 11) Luke 22:1-38 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the teachings of Jesus surrounding His return - Bottom line: We DO NOT fear His return, but we can’t misunderstand it either -- We should know the signs behind His coming, and be ready to explain ...read more

    This is a sermon to get people to think about the return of Jesus Christ. Hopefully it will help us realize that Jesus will return whether we are ready or not.

    Tell a childhood Hide & Seek Story Read Scripture (Rev. 22:12-17, 20) There are more than 50 passages in the Bible that tell us that Jesus is going to return.

    Mark 1:1-8 ‘Ready – or Not? #2’ In different ways, we all know the importance of signs and symbols. They point us in the right direction, give us instruction, and help us avoid making mistakes.

    The Day of the Lord is soon. God will come whether you are prepared or not. Take the time to meditate His words, for you do not know the day of Christ’s return.

    For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. - 1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 There is nothing wrong with growing old and dying.

    A first-person narrative on the Parable of the Ten Virgins.

    Your pastor thought of giving me a name like Marsha or Morgan but it’s better that you just remember me as “moron” for that is what Jesus called me and that is what I am. Because of my short-sightedness and sloppy preparation I wound up missing a scrumptious wedding banquet. You ...read more

    Saints must build the Body of Christ through active participation/action. Every church worker is vital; if only one slacks off, the entire effort of the church suffers. Whatever your ability, if you are working for the Lord, it is “for the profit of all."
