    Jesus Christ came to 1. The sinful. 2. The poor and sick. 3. The Faithful.

    Last week we spoke about the prophecies that brought hope to the minds and hearts of God’s people — those who were anticipating the arrival of God’s Messiah into the world.

    Throughout history, there have been several explanations given regarding why Jesus asked God, the Father, to remove the cup from Him.

    Can we always make sense out of tragedies? Like Paul tell us as Job discovers, we have to grasp that nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8:35 -39). We do not get to that place in our journey without God’s help.

    WHY GOD? WHY? Text: Job 38:1- 7 “Elie Wiesel ….tells a story he heard in a concentration camp: Three rabbis put God on trial for being absent from humanity. They find God guilty as charged. When the trial ends, one rabbi looks at his watch and says, “It’s time for prayers.” The ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,340 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more

    One of the things I hate is turning on the TV just after a movie or a weekly drama has started, so I’ve missed those opening few scenes where the story is set up, where perhaps the main characters are introduced; where the crime is committed or the tensions between characters is highlighted.
