Florida Hospital SDA Church Sermons - Audio

“The little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.” Each year, that’s the story — told, read, and acted out on thousands of stages by small children in bathrobes. We have even made Jesus this super baby — “no crying he makes.” But the eternal Jesus is Lord. Jesus has been, is, and will always be […]

“Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!” Emmanuel—God with us. What is it that made the shepherds run back into the fields rejoicing? What was it that caused the Wise Men to fall on their face and bow down and worship? It was this fact and this fact alone: God is not a […]

“O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!” During the Christmas season, sometimes we can feel anything but faithful and joyful or triumphant. In fact, we may feel defeated and depressed or doubtful. Through life’s very real trials, is it possible for the faithful to still sing with joy because the ultimate victory has been […]
