FROM GLOOM TO HOPE: The Messiah Has Come!


Yesterday we took a break from 1 Corinthians to start a four week study on the birth of Christ.  Ever since I was a young boy one of my fondest memories of Christmas was the lighting of the Advent Candles.  I remember being told what they stood for but not giving this much thought to it at the time.  Well, starting yesterday and going right through Christmas Eve we will be studying the meaning behind each Advent Candle; starting with "The Prophet's Candle."  The overall theme of this candle was the hope we receive from the Messiah.  I preached through Isaiah 9:1-7 told my group that "We have hope in Jesus, the Messiah."

The Baptism of Jesus

Yesterday I preached about the baptism of Jesus which John the Baptist said was going to take place.   John tells us in Luke 3 that Jesus will baptize us with the Holy Spirit and fire.   The reality is that we have two options; turn to Jesus or turn away from Him.   If you turn to Jesus your baptism will be that of the Holy Spirit.   If you turn away from Him the only remaining option is baptism by fire in hell.   I know that is blunt but that is the truth.   There is no getting around it.   This is why it is so important for Christians to tell others about Christ because if we don't, no one else will.

Fighting Off Temptation

Yesterday I preached about the temptation of Jesus by the devil in the wilderness.   Jesus overcame each of the devils temptations using the Word of God.   We can learn about from these temptations regarding overcoming our own temptation to sin.     Sermon by Rev.

The Message of John the Baptist

On Sunday I preached about John the Baptist's message of repentance and talked about how Christians can learn a lot from John's message.   To repent means to have the evidence of the change which took place within an individual.   Salvation in Christ is essential for our eternal security but what comes next?   Christians NEED to "bear fruit in keeping with repentance."
