Jesus said he came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. John writes to the believers that he wishes them good health and that things might go well. In a world filled with problems and suffering, is it really legitimate for us to wish each other a “Happy New Year?” We are […]

From the promise in Genesis 3:15 of the rising up of an offspring that would crush Satan, the coming of a Savior, the Messiah, had been the hope. Today, we look back to the original Christmas when the hope arrived and onto Calvary where hope was made sure. Today, we live in the now and […]

Our text for today is about Jesus being called Immanuel, meaning God with us. There is no greater love, Jesus said, than that one would lay down his life for a friend. In the condescension of Christ to our earth, to become human for all eternity in order that he might reconcile all things to […]

The angel declared “great joy” for everyone. If we read through the Old Testament, and especially the Psalms, we find a repeated call to sing and especially “shout” for joy to the Lord.

How does knowing you are loved with a perfect love that is also without end affect […]

According to the dictionary, “Righteousness” is the quality of being morally right or justifiable. Today, we live in a culture that has moved away from absolutes (absolutely). For many people, what is right has become what is right in their eyes. But beyond our human perceptions, ideas, and projections, when best understood, we believe there […]

This could be a really long sermon if we just started listing all of God’s wonderful deeds. We will explore the ways God benefits us. The companion text for today, Psalm 103:1-5, points out a number of his deeds for our benefit. How do we receive these? What difference do they make in our lives? […]
