    Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Dec 4, 2019
     | 3,450 views

    during this Advent season, are we awaiting the birth of Jesus or his second coming?

    Matthew 11:2-11 The Season of Advent can be a very confusing time for some people: • on one hand, we all wait with wide-eyes for the birth of the Christ child • on the other, we are waiting for the second Coming of Jesus at the end of the world. Indeed a major part of the Christian faith ...read more

    Matthew 11:2-11 Now when John the Baptist was in prison heard about the activities of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and asked Him, “Are You the Expected One (the Messiah), or should we look for someone else who will be the promised One?” Jesus answered, “Go and report to John what you hear ...read more

    Are we offended by Jesus at Christmas time? If he walked the earth today would we be offended by him? Let’s examine the real Jesus and being offended at Jesus in Matthew 11:2-11.

    Disappointment refers to sadness or displeasure from failure to fulfill ones hopes or expectations. Discouragement means loss of hope or enthusiasm as a result. It is possible to be disappointed without being discouraged.

    DISAPPOINTED BUT NOT DISCOURAGED Introduction Frequently, employers will ask prospective employees what their biggest disappointment in life has been. The question probably gives employers a hint about how these prospective employees handle times of stress and hardships in life. We ...read more

    John the Baptist lost his certainty of who Jesus was. We can suffer from the "doldrums," too.

    December 15, 2019 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Isaiah 35:1-10; Matthew 11:2-11 Christmas Doldrums Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” The John the ...read more

    Our current circumstances do not set the parameters for God’s faithfulness. His Word, as He engages our ears with His exceeding great and precious promises, is the measure of His faithfulness.

    Sermon for Advent 3, year C. John the Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus wanting to know why Jesus allowed him to remain in jail. Jesus quoted the prophet Isaiah back to him, and said, "rejoice."

    Preparing for 2020 John, Jesus, and Joy: Listening to the right prophet. I do not wear pink very often (unless I lose a bet, like today…). But, there is one service in the church year where the priest can wear pink vestments. Rose Sunday, or the Sunday of Joy… Today. I didn’t want to wear ...read more

    As John the Baptist sat in prison, staring at the end of his life, he started to wonder if Jesus was everything that he expected Jesus to be. See how Jesus answers that question and continues to answer our questions when we might doubt if God is really all that we hoped him to be.

    Was it everything that you had expected? You ripped open the rapping paper on Christmas morning to unveil the toy that you had seen advertised so many times on TV. You had been sure to put it at the top of your Christmas list in great detail taking away any of the possible guess work as to which ...read more

    Our Lord forever is pouring out on us His grace and goodness so that we will learn to do the same thing for Him and for other people.

    Feast of St. Lucy 2018 The constant temptation human beings face is to turn God’s intention for man upside down. Instead of us following the plan to be remade into God’s image, we are constantly trying the impossible. We attempt to remake God in our own image–venal and selfish and cruel and ...read more

     | 1,834 views

    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

    Yeshua was saying, “Don’t be upset because I’m not what you expected. You’ve got my credentials. Now trust me for the rest of it.”

    Zach was tired. He had been coming down to Tiberias every week for almost two months, bringing news and food to John in prison, and it looked like he’d probably be doing it for the rest of the year. Nothing had changed. After Herod arrested John for publicly accusing him of incest and adultery, ...read more

    Life is filled with moments of doubt. John the Baptist, a man who boldly proclaimed the coming of the Messiah finds himself in a dark prison cell, questioning whether Jesus truly is the One he had been waiting for. Even the strongest among us may question what we once knew to be true.

    From Doubting To Faith

     | 695 views

    The best thing we can do during difficulties and trials is to bring all our griefs, troubles, and discouragements to Jesus. This is what John the Baptist did when he was in prison, and it helped him move from doubting to faith.

    All me to begin with an illustration: “Joe Scriven was a missionary from Ireland to Canada, working among the Iroquois Indians. He was joined by his fiancé, who was also from Ireland. Just before the wedding, she was killed in an accident. Joe buried her with his own hands and a broken ...read more
