Sermons from November 2022
Jesus says “Get ready, do not ignore the signs; I am coming again!”
The Bible teaches that our life here on Earth is all about preparing for the coming back of Jesus and being with him. We want to hear Jesus say, “Well done good and faithful servant.” Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to go today. We need to be ready!
Things are not always what they seem: Christ’s death on the Cross
In the crucifixion of Christ, we have a King on a cross by his enemies in order that he brings us into His Kingdom, changing us from enemies of God to friends of God, holy, pure, and faultless. We need to hear that and to proclaim it.
Life gets busy and we forget what our real task is: Paul’s message to the Thessalonians and us
Life gets busy and we lose perspective. Our real task is to be the church in this time and this place, according to Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians and to us: 1) pray, 2) witness the Good News of Jesus that we have found to those around us, 3) be involved in some form of Christian service.
As Christians in the face of tragedy we are helpless, but not without hope
Job: “For I know that my Redeemer lives, …” As Christians we know Christ as Redeemer, but what are we doing with this knowledge? Like Job we need to tell others of the hope available in Christ.
