    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

    I came across a suggested prayer for all preachers this week, and it goes like this: “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” Well, here we go! Are you ready? Are you prepared? Put your hands up if you are ready and prepared ... did you get done yesterday ...read more

    The Incarnation took immense planning; a righteous virgin and a carpenter from an obscure town, a pagan emperor taking a census, a journey, a manger, the family lineage. All of these had to be in place and timed perfectly. We serve a great God! PTL!!

    Scripture Reading: Luke 2:1-7 Please find this passage in your Bibles. “O Little Town of Bethlehem” – sing the first verse A Cappella as the folks find the Scripture reading for the day. We love that little Christmas song, don’t we? Let’s go ahead and read from the ...read more

    Micah prophesied to people in a time and place that seemed doomed to failure. How many times have we known people who have had a pessimistic view about the promise of the future?

    THE UNLIKELY Text: Micah 5:2 - 5 Years ago I was at a little league baseball game. The underdog was behind by eight points by the very last inning of the game. You would have thought that it was safe to go home as if the game was already over. In fact, some did go home. But, the best was ...read more

    R.C. Sproul once said, “What we celebrate is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself.” (Critical concept to remember – not just a birthday celebration!) Today, it is my prayer that we would be focused on this truth and that we’d see this story in a fresh light!

    Introduction - “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival" -- The focus of this season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ -- His birth is his First Advent, his first coming, to a world in great need -- It also reflects on the ...read more

    We need to see the real person of Christ , not a stained-glass window version, for he was the Eternal Son becoming the Emptied Servant and is now the Exalted Lord.

    THE ADVENT HYMN TO CHRIST The Advent season has come around again. What does it all mean? To the world in general and to us? For those in the marketplace of commerce, it’s a time of expectation of the cash till ringing, with everyone who can buying presents. For the man and woman in the ...read more

    When will wars come to an end? When will all people live in harmony? This sermon gives us the answer.

    My assignment today is to talk about peace. So naturally I think of war. It seems that humans are very keen on war. In many ways, it is our thing. We talk peace and make war. In the past 6,000 years of recorded history only 200 of those have been peaceful. It is estimated that between 90 and 95 % ...read more
