    A SERMON FOR THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT - Continuing with our preparations to welcome Jesus afresh at Christmas

    John 1:6-8; 19-28 ‘Ready – or Not? #3’ I may share with many of you a love of pictures – of looking at, and perhaps making paintings, drawings and photographs.

    A Gift For The New Year

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Dec 13, 2017

    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

    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

     | 14,072 views

    THE DEPTH OF THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS BEING LOST, AS THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF THE WORLD LESSENS. CHRISTMAS IS NO LONGER BEING CELEBRATED AS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF HOPE FOR THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH.

    THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS AS I WAS PREPARING FOR MY MESSAGE TODAY I CAME ACROSS THIS STATEMENT. “AS A WHOLE, PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS WITH MORE ANTICIPATION THAN ANY OTHER SEASON OF THE YEAR.” COMMERCIAL INTERESTS CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE THE COMING CHRISTMAS SEASON.

    Points out that this time of year is a celebration of the birth of Christ. And that we should treat December 25th as we would any other persons’ birthday. It causes us to reflect on the heart of Herod and ours during this time of year.

    Christ is Christmas Matthew 2:1-12 “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
