         <description><![CDATA[

This Sunday I would like to focus on the two of the three angelic visitation stories that precede the birth of Jesus. One is from what the church refers to as the incarnation, where Mary is told by the angel that she is with child through the work of the Holy Spirit. The other reading focuses on Joseph and his reactions to an angelic visit. I believed that these two stories should be read together.&#160; They give us a vivid picture of how the lives of these two young people are so completely...]]></description>

Advent 2, 2010
&#160;
Isaiah 11:1–10 &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Psalm 72:1–7, 18–19&#160; 
Romans 15:4–13&#160; &#160;&#160;&#160; Matthew 3:1–12
&#160;
This is the busiest time of the year for most of our local merchants…their “make or break” season.&#160; They expend a huge amount of energy preparing for these five or six weeks because they know that without the Christmas revenue there is a real possibility their shops and stores will not survive through the following...]]></description>

&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; This morning I am going to spend a bit of time looking at the Gospel teaching which speaks about how Christians….as opposed to non-believers, are expected to behave towards others.&#160;&#160; Jesus’s admonition draws a stark contrast between the two.&#160; In one picture we see the way of the world, that which we experience daily…and actually...]]></description>

&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; I suppose that there may be some benefit to covering only small, bite-sized portions of certain scripture readings.

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;This morning I would like to have us take a look at three of the most lethal traps that Satan uses to knock believers off of the path of righteousness.&#160; Each of today’s readings contains clues to these deceptions and also God’s tools for combatting them. The first is found in Psalms 37. As Christians we often look around us and see what appears as consistent reward for evil and sin…and just the opposite for the righteous. That is, those who pay absolutely no...]]></description>

&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Last week I spoke about the difference between a kingdom perspective and the secular perspective of wealth, and how it was impossible to serve both God and money. One or the other will end up being worshiped.&#160; It is not possible to revere or uphold both. Jesus said that we will end up loving one and hating the other. The reason is…that a worldly or secular attitude towards the accumulation of of wealth is essentially...]]></description>
