| Advent and Epiphany - 2007-2008 |
| Advent 1 - Exodus 33-34 - December 2, 2007 - The LORD was about to desert His people for committing idolatry at the bottom of Mt. Sinai. Yet it is here on the brink of disaster that we see the glory of the LORD shine at it's brightest as He reveals who He is to Moses. (audio) Advent 2 - Ezekiel 1:22-28 - December 9, 2007 - The LORD appeared to Ezekiel to prepare him to be His spokesman by giving him a vision of the heavens. We look at that vision in preparation for the coming of Christ. (audio) Advent 3 - Exodus 40:34-38 - December 16, 2007 - The glory of the LORD appeared within the tabernacle after Moses had it built according to God's specifications. (audio) Advent 4 - 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 - December 23, 2007 - In a change of focus Paul shows that the glory of the LORD is also meant to shine through sinful humans! What an awesome privilege and responsibility! Are you letting His light shine? (audio) Christmas Day - John 1:14 - December 25, 2007 - The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The words speak for themselves. Christmas 1 - Matthew 2:13-23 - December 30, 2007 - The Lord calls on Joseph to protect the Christ Child from Herod's murderous plot. (audio) Epiphany - Isaiah 60:1-6 - January 6, 2007 - Isaiah predicts the coming of the camels as the glory of the LORD shines to people well beyond the borders of Israel to see the Christ. How would the Israelites respond at such an awesome sight? (audio) Epiphany 1 - Isaiah 42:1-4 - January 13, 2007 - Jesus was baptized. Why? It fulfilled the prediction of Isaiah that the LORD would put His Spirit on Him. (audio) Epiphany 2 - John 1:29-34 - January 20, 2007 - John reveals the purpose of his baptizing and the importance of Jesus' baptism. He points us to the Light of the world - to Jesus, the Lamb of God. (audio) Epiphany 3 - 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 - January 27, 2007 - The LORD wants us to reflect His glory as Christians. When we don't get along and argue with one another over whose leaders are better or whose baptisms are more effectual it does not let the light of Christ shine to the world. (audio) Transfiguration - 2 Peter 1:16-21 - February 3, 2007 - The most memorable and monumental thing to Peter on the Mt. of Transfiguration was not the vision but the words spoken from God the Father. What were they about? Why were they important as we review this history of what happened with Peter, James, John and Jesus on top of this Mountain? Find out in this sermon. (audio) |
