Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on God's love. (1 of 6)
Advent is part of the liturgical calendar that helps the church retell the story of the Bible each year. It remembers the Old Testament saints that walked only with the promises of God, promises that were fulfilled with the coming of Christ. Advent is for the hurting and the incomplete. It is for those who walk in darkness to remind us that our Hero is coming. In this series we are going to look at some of the lesser known pictures of the Old Testament where we see God’s love and promises revealed and the foreshadow of the One to come.

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the covenants of God. (4 of 4)
The liturgical calendar is a framework that the church uses to retell the story of the gospel each year. We are now in the season of Advent which is the first season of the liturgical calendar. A season meant to retell the story of the Old Testament; how the people longed and waited for the Messiah, for God to fulfill His promise. It is a story of lament, of longing, of waiting in anticipation for God to come and rescue His people. For many people, this season is hectic and crazy and exciting and fun and nostalgic. For some people, this season is very lonely, hard, and depressing, bringing reminders of pain. But as followers of Jesus, we can enter into both worlds without having to deny the other. We don’t have to deny the reality of pain. Yet as we enter into the season of Advent, we remember that though we walk in darkness, a light has come. There is hope. God fulfills His covenants.

Welcome to the 3rd sermon in our series on longing for the Messiah. (3 of 3)
Advent is basically a participation in the anticipation in the coming of Jesus. We do this together as a church throughout history and around the world, and every year we sing “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” What do we long for when we sing this song? In this sermon series, we are going to be looking at some passages in Isaiah. Isaiah gives us a tremendous amount of insight into the prophecies about the coming of this Messiah, the king that we wait for. We are going to look at different elements of what this Messiah will usher in when he comes, what we are longing for and waiting for.

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on the Feasts of Christmas. (5 of 5)
Up until a couple of centuries ago, there was no mass printing of books. Individuals had little opportunity to read the Bible themselves. So, the Church put together a calendar by which they would tell the whole story of Scripture throughout the year. Advent was the start of the year, a time to look at the Old Testament and anticipate the birth of the Messiah. Christmas then was the second season of the church year, the time that focuses on the coming of Jesus and the new life that we can have with his coming. In this series we are going to look at some feasts the early church began to celebrate that call attention to what actions our lives should have because Christ has come.
