An Open Invitation

Revelation 22.12-21 As we close out the year there is a sense in which we are looking forward to the new year with anticipation of new beginnings, things being different, somehow better.  Over recent weeks the world was held captive to the theory of the Mayan calendar that the world would end.  It didn’t, at least not yet and not according to the Mayan (or any other) prediction.  Only God knows the day and hour.  In His final words to us recorded in the book of Revelation, Jesus compels us to ponder the truth from His words when He says “I am coming quickly.”  These words should urge us to be prepared for that day and in this New Year it would do us well to strive in ever greater effort to live godly.  Jesus’s return is sure, it is sudden, it is with scrutiny and it is summoned.  Look for His return – it may be this year.

“Fear Not”

Matthew 1.18-25 – The story of Christ’s birth gives us an opportunity to discover an important truth from the life of Joseph.  Whatever all his feelings were related to the news of Mary’s pregnancy, fear must have been one of them for it was the angel who came to encourage him and tell him not to be afraid.  Immanuel gives us hope to face any and all circumstances so that we don’t have anything to fear.  This Christmas season, is your hope in the eternal Son of God who came to live among us that He might die for us or are you still afriad?  Trust Him today to be your Savior.

Mary’s Song

Luke 1.46-55 The depth of Mary’s spiritual character is seen in this beautiful song of praise as she praises God for His blessings on her, on the humble and on Israel.  She ponders the role God has for her to play in His redemtpive plan which begs us to ask if we have considered the role He has for us in His redemptive plan.

What the Wise Realize About Jesus

Proverbs 2.1-6 This message concludes our study in the book of Proverbs.  Throughout we have been considering ancient wisdom that is beneficial for modern times.  We end our study noting that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  With that said and heading into the Christmas season, we conclude our series with understanding what the wise realize about Jesus.  They realize He saves.  They realize He sanctifies.  They realize He glorifies.

(We apologize.  There have been some technical difficulties in recording the weekly sermons.  We hope to have this available soon.)
