    Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Dec 7, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,973 views

    John the Baptist helps us get ready for Advent. He points us to baptism, repentance, and the Mighty One, Jesus Christ. This sermon looks at the text and then shifts into an application with two illustrations.

    To borrow the words of Meredith Wilson: “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.” Thanksgiving is done and the leftovers are consumed. Black Friday is over. Cyber Monday and Cyber week are finished. This week, we had our first real taste of winter and Minnesota weather ...read more

    I sense timidity, exhaustion. Why do you look so tired? Why do you look so stretched? You appear as one who lacks hope.

    I sense timidity, exhaustion. Why do you look so tired? Why do you look so stretched? You appear as one who lacks hope. Have you no hope? Have you lost it somewhere? Has hope run off and hid itself? Is it running from you, just out of reach? Many walk in a trance, rigid, furled brows, ...read more

    Part 4: Active Faith In Passive Seasons. Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Feb 10, 2026
     | 80 views

    : Is your waiting room actually a weight room? In seasons where nothing moves and prayers seem unheard, faith can feel like stagnant waiting. But faith is a verb, not a noun.

    Here's what I've noticed: most of us treat faith like an emergency button. Something you only push when there's a crisis. When the diagnosis is bad, when the job is gone, when everything is falling apart. But what happens in the seasons when nothing is falling apart and nothing is ...read more

    Position Yourself For Restoration

     | 486 views

    Restoration is God’s divine act of bringing back what was lost, stolen, or destroyed, and positioning ourselves rightly opens the door for complete recovery and multiplied blessings.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Joel 2:25-26 Key Verse: “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

    We live between two monumental events: the first Advent, when Jesus came as a baby in Bethlehem, and the second Advent, when He will return as King of kings and Lord of lords. This period is not a passive waiting game; it is an active, purposeful, and hope-filled time.

    Transformed by Truth: The Time Between Two Advents Introduction Today, we stand together in the blessed in-between time of history.

    New Life For Dry Bones

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 2, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,042 views

    As God brought new life and hope to the dry bones scattered across Ezekiel's valley, God can do the same for us. When there seems to be no way forward, God knows our future. And as we trust him, we get to know God better in the process.

    Ezekiel 37:1-14 New Life for Dry Bones When I became a “new cadet,” in basic training at West Point, I had to memorize various items and be willing to recount them at will. One was a paragraph from the 1962 speech of retired 82-year-old General of the Army Douglas MacArthur to the Corps of Cadets, ...read more

    Pray When You Are Discouraged

     | 3,645 views

    When we are most discouraged, we need all the more to pray, because it is the time we needed Him most. God is faithful and will come to our aid, and very often providing us with both our present and future needs.

    Sometimes we feel like hiding under the covers, like a lump instead of facing up to our faults. Through Christ the price has been paid for all our faults, past, present and future. Therefore there can be no condemnation.

    When we read the Word of God, it becomes evident that our choices affect our children and their future. History teaches us that whenever Israel turned their back on God and served idols and other Gods, their children paid a price for their actions.

    Is Christmas In Danger Of Extinction?

     | 2,317 views

    My all-age talk for Christmas Day 2012. Using an illustration of the extinction of the Christmas Island Pipistrelle I ask people to think about the future of the Church in England. Will we listen to the leading authority in our Church and take action?

    Since 2009 nights on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean will never be the same again. On 26 August 2009 the sound of the Christmas Island Pipistrelle was recorded for the last time. Since then there has been silence. The tiny animal was 2 cm in length and weighed less than a £1 coin. At the start ...read more
