4th Sunday of Advent; Luke 2:8-15. Our hurts and sorrows are part of us, and hiding from them doesn’t help. But God has come, God is with us, and therefore joy can still be found.
Peace
The 3rd Sunday in Advent. The angels came and announced peace to the shepherds. What might these shepherds have discovered about that peace? Isaiah 9:2, 6-7
Love
Bob brings a message about God’s love this second week of advent.
Thanks Be to God — Bob Whitaker (24 Nov 2019)
The biblical instruction to give thanks is both a command and a blessing. Let’s consider that together. Reading: Psalm 147:1-11.
Further Down the Road — Dan Waugh (17 Nov 2019)
Every week of this series, a video has played to introduce the sermon. This video includes a quote by Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge…imagination embraces the entire world and all there ever will be to know and understand.” For the Christian, this imagination (I think “faith” is a better word) includes eternity and all we know of God’s eternal blessings. Adopting a perspective that includes eternity is the key to true wisdom. Reading: Psalm 73.
Plan, Pray, Surrender
How do we find divine guidance for our lives? It seems that the Proverbs give us a way forward. Let’s think about what divine guidance means. Reading: Proverbs 16:1-9
