    The wise men are a surprising twist to the narrative from Matthew. What does their presence indicate and how does getting to know them help us prepare for Christmas?

    You may have noticed the chalkboard signs that are scattered around the church building. Each has a different saying- “Be the Branch,” “Catch the Wind,” “Wreck the Roof,” “Grip the Plow,” and “Empty the Jar.” They come from a small group video Bible study our groups participated in a while back. ...read more

    This sermon explores encountering God's presence, the importance of repentance as demonstrated by Isaiah, and the prophetic promise of salvation through Christ.

    Greetings, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. It is always a joy to gather together in His name, to sit at the feet of our Lord and learn from His Word. Today, we find ourselves in the prophetic pages of Isaiah, chapters 6 and 7, a text that reveals to us a God who is ever-present, a God who ...read more

    Christmas is just around the corner and for 2 years of being in a pandemic world, how can we celebrate this Yuletide season? This exhortation would take us back to the true essence and reason why there is Christmas.

    Intro: Merry Christmas to all! Good morning and I’m glad to see all of you after almost 2 years of pandemic, we still see each other again. Few days from now and Christmas is here. Though there were less festivities and less fellowships, let us all hope and pray that the true essence of the season ...read more

    A sermon for Christmas Eve.

    “Prepare Him Room” Luke 2:1-20 The way God works is so magically beautiful, so humble, so unobtrusive. God doesn’t force His way into this world just as God doesn’t force His way into our hearts. Notice the humble surroundings of Jesus’ birth. His parents are mere peasants; they go ...read more

    Mark 13:24-37 A TIME OF CELEBRATION IS AT HAND! Yes, a time of celebration is at hand – a new year begins today! “But”, I hear you say, “hang on a sec! It isn’t January 1st, it’s November 30!” Ah, true it is, but just the same, a new year begins today! The Church’s new year, that is. Today ...read more

    A SERMON FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT: John the Baptist’s call to prepare the way, that we may receive and welcome Jesus the Christ

    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. We might be washing our clothes, and looking at the label inside to tell us what temperature to wash ...read more

    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

    Use the principles of John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus in Christmas to prepare the way for the new year.

    1. I am not a big fan of Christmas – there are theological issues in which a pagan story of Mithras became the basis for the date of the celebration of the birth of Jesus. [Similar for Easter] a. Jesus’ birth is mentioned but not specifically when b. Jewish people tend not to celebrate ...read more

    We are all making exciting plans for Christmas. But in this sermon I want to talk to you about God’s plan for the first Christmas.

    One thing that gets us upset, is when we have things all planned out and someone comes along and ruins our plans. For example, suppose you had plans for Saturday. You were going to take the family to the lake, and have a nice family picnic. You have been planning this picnic for weeks and you had ...read more
