Sermons on Second Advent Of Christ:

Tortured Christ

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 22, 2018

The account of Jesus' suffering and death on our behalf has become so familiar that if we are not careful we can skim right through it when reading the Bible and never give it a second thought. Let's look at it again to day with fresh eyes of wonder.

Let's stand and read together our memory Scripture for this first quarter of 2018. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him. If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains ...read more

Why Jesus Was Born In Bethlehem, The House Of Bread

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Nov 28, 2001

The spiritual significance of the tiny town of Christ’s birth.

Five or six miles southwest of Jerusalem lay the tiny town of Bethlehem in the Judean hills. It was here that man’s eyes first saw God in the flesh. Why this place and not another of so many other possibilities? Of course it was the home of Joseph and Mary’s ancestors - the city of David. But ...read more

Peace On Earth: A New Year Challenge For Christ Followers Series

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Dec 14, 2022

The overarching message of the Advent is "Peace on Earth". But when we look around, peace seems to be the last thing we seem to be having. How can we experience the peace that Advent offers?

Peace! Is it as elusive as it seems? There is a strong need for us discuss the issue of peace today. If we look around us, not many of us find peace, but conflicts and war and strife and violence in abundance all around us. Two seasonal aspects brought this topic up to the top of my mind. The ...read more

Making Room

Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 8, 2001

This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more
