Where God's blessings flow!
Sermons on Advent (Page 7)
John the Baptist was full of joy. He was active proclaiming the word and preparing the way for Jesus. While the coming of Jesus brought his people joy, today’s gospel brought a dissonance. John shone a light on the misdeeds of the day, and this caused his imprisonment and death. During his ministry, John had…
We are Jesus’ sheep. That’s not a bad thing! Our Good Shepherd lays down his life for His sheep. There will be one flock and one shepherd. Let take comfort in being His Sheep and share that comfort with others as we welcome them into His Flock…
The part John played in the arrival of Jesus cannot be downplayed. He was a compelling speaker. People thought John was the Messiah, but they were wrong–John even said so. His gospel message was meant to prepare the way of the Lord. What can we do to share the Good News of Jesus? How can…
