    Preparing for guests to come: clean and straighten the house, cook food, prepare drinks, dress appropriately Jesus is coming soon. How are you preparing for his arrival? John the Baptizer was sent to prepare the people of Israel for the coming of the Messiah. He called people to repentance. He ...read more

    Declare If You Know Series

    The Palm Sunday crowds, like Job’s friends, shouted their slogans too glibly, communicating only popularity and prejudice, substituting religiosity and mere activity for knowing Jesus personally.

    Declare if you know. Declare. Interesting word, “Declare”. It suggests that when we communicate, there are a variety of levels at which we can speak. There are different intensities we can use when we want to say something. Some folks merely suggest. They offer timid little ideas ...read more

    The Ethiopian Eunuch didn’t understand the Bible until someone explained it to him. The whole Bible points to Jesus’ life death and resurrection.

    In a few minutes we’ll say the creed, as we do most weeks, and we’ll repeat these words almost without thinking: "For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again - in accordance with the Scriptures." I wonder whether we ever stop ...read more

    My concern is that we may become so overwhelmed by the noise of Christmas that we’ll never hear the sounds of that first Christmas night which we really ought to hear.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2013) Let me begin this message by reading aloud what should be a very familiar passage of scripture. It is Luke 2:1-7. “In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This ...read more

    The self-righteous religious rulers of Jesus’ day didn’t want much to do with sinners - but that was precisely the point of Jesus coming to earth! They wouldn’t receive sinners, but Jesus would ~ and He did! Will you?
