And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.” Luke 1:31 Jesus means “He shall save.”  The angel was foretelling the salvation God was bringing to His people.  The Hebrew name Joshua was common in Biblical times.  The Son of God was not named a… Continue reading Message for December 19, 2010

TREASURES FROM PSALMS

PSALM 95 There are only two possible responses to every trial and testing we experience in life:  we either soften our hearts toward God or we harden our hearts toward God.  The heart that makes a habit of praising God during good times will find it easier to praise Him during life’s tough times.  Take… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS

“…peace on earth, goodwill toward men.”  Luke 2:14 As we enter the Advent season, people begin to set their attention on Christmas.  This is the season to be “jolly.”  It is a time of “good  cheer.” What makes the season special?  There would be no Christmas season without Christ.

“….that we should bring forth fruit to God.” Romans 7:4 At least once in his life a pastor should be able to preach a “silly sermon”.  Today is my time to do that.  I do not mean a useless sermon with no message in it, but rather an unusual type.  Today I want to look… Continue reading Message for Nov 21, 2010
