    Rejoicing When You Want Fiery Justice Instead!! Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 16, 2023
     | 866 views

    John the Baptist sits in jail, waiting for Justice to rain down upon Herod. Meanwhile Christ preaches Good News, rather than wrath. How can we rejoice when there is no justice in this world?

    Good Morning! As someone who grew up in a liturgical church, I realize that Lent and Advent can be easy to confuse. I say the wrong name quite a bit and might accidentally say the wrong name this morning. That’s one of those pastor cliches. My pastor, from our parish down in Baltimore, kept putting ...read more

    The Wicked Generation

    John the Baptizer wasted no time in telling Herod that it was wrong for him to have his brother Phillip’s wife saying that it was not lawful. John went to prison for being the prophet God called him to be and not the puppet that Herod wanted him to be.

    THE WICKED GENERATION Text: Matthew 11:1 – 19, 25- 30 N. T. Wright once said that “… wicked people don’t like a message of judgment because they think the message is aimed at them, (and rightly so) while good people don’t like a message of mercy because they think (wrongly) that ...read more

    It's A Wonderful Life Ii

    I wonder how many people have been touched by this simple film. People who have seen it have testified that it gave them hope. Hope is what Christmas is all about. The Scripture passages we read this morning are all about hope.

    Every year about this time television stations bring out of their vaults an old black and white film that is still popular today. They have already shown it this year. The film is It’s a Wonderful Life. In the film, George Bailey never felt like he amounted to much in life. He had dreams of ...read more

    Beloved in Christ, today we find ourselves in the third week of Advent, often called *Gaudete Sunday*. Gaudete means “rejoice,” and that is our call today—to rejoice in the Lord, for the Kingdom is near!

    Showing John The Baptist The Gospel

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 14, 2024
     | 328 views

    For the Third Sunday in Advent, we look at John the Baptist in Jail, stuck in depression and questioning God. His search for who the Messiah is supposed to be helps us to see clearly who God is, and how He works in our lives.

    Showing John the Baptist the Gospel Good Morning. We live by expectations, and that’s not necessarily bad. When we go to bed at night, we expect the alarm to work. We expect others to stop at stop signs. In fact, we have a lot of expectations about how others should act. Our days are full of ...read more

    Those of us alive today in the kingdom of God have a greater experience than John the Baptist because we have advantages that were once only dreamed about: the forgiveness of sin, Christian community, an indwelling Holy Spirit, and the mind-blowing beauty of the gospel story. These elements make the kingdom of heaven a greater reality for present-day followers of Christ.

    Transition And Testimony (Matthew 11:1-30)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2025
     | 221 views

    Our commentary on Matthew continues with Jesus' testimony about the ministry of John the Baptist and the promise of judgment upon the unbelieving cities who witnessed HIs work yet did not repent.

    Matthew 11 begins with what is referred to as a "transitional" passage (v.1). While the disciples were going around the countryside doing the work that Jesus had commissioned, He continued to preach in the cities in Galilee. Verses 2-3 describe how John the Baptist had been thrown into ...read more

    When things don't go as expected, we often begin to question and doubt. By reflecting and trusting the facts, and remaining firm in the Promises fulfilled and yet to come, we can find peace in trusting HIM. The invitation has been given, "Come unto Me and find peace."
