John 5:16–18 [16] And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. [17] But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” [18] This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. John 8:48–59 [48] The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” [49] Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. [50] Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. [51] Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” [52] The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' [53] Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” [54] Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.' [55] But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. [56] Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” [57] So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” [58] Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” [59] So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

The Rev. Seth Cain - The Third Sunday of Advent - John 1:19-28

Sarah Schneider Watson, co-lead pastor, is speaking from Luke 3 on John the Baptist. John lived a unique life but he was called the greatest prophet. Why? Simply because he was the closest to the Messiah, Jesus.

Advent - John 1:1-18: This Sunday is Christmas Day! For many the day will be filled with gifts and food, family and friends. But, no matter where or how you are celebrating, we encourage you to take time to pause and join us online for a simple service of carols and reflection. As we gather around God's Word we will marvel at the mystery of Jesus; who is God and is with God, who took on human flesh and blood and lived among us. And we will consider together the difference His miraculous birth makes in our lives and our world.

2022-12-18 Sermon- Rev. Aaron Uphoff The 4th Sunday of Advent  John 1:19-28

Pastor Mark preaces from Isaiah 35:1-10 and Matthew 11:2-11.

The God of Peace! (The Fourth Sunday of Advent) John 14:27 and Philippians 4:6-7 Is this the season of Advent or the season of Anxiety? Are you anticipating the arrival of our Savior or are you anxious about all that the holidays bring? What is peace? I have mostly thought of peace as the absence of something else, like conflict, strife, enmity, or war. I mostly think of peace as the absence of war. Truth is, the absence of war, from nearest of kin to nations, is mostly the presence of some form of truce. It is just old conflict buried like landmines across the field of our inmost being—quietly waiting to be triggered when someone steps on the tripwire. Some are thinking, "Sounds like the holidays at our house." So, what is this peace we speak of? Now that you ask me, I'm not sure I know what real peace is. Is it a "state of being" as some make it out to be? Is it the flexed threat of war withheld, as signaled by all those protesting placards, "No justice! No peace!" Give us justice or we will give you war. That's just another name for the revolution of vengeance; another tired version of the Pax Romana. Peace is beyond understanding. It doesn't fit into the calculus of war at all. Just like the opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference; so, the opposite of war is not peace but truce. What if the truth is more like, "No Peace. No Justice."? The Hebrew word for peace is shalom. It means something like all of the broken and dislocated pieces of creation, our relationships, and our lives put back together again by God into a divine integration and wellness. Peace is one of the deepest essences of agape—the love of God. Notice what happens when Jesus, who was supposed to be dead and buried, walks into the most broken and despairing rooms in history to greet the eleven most wanted men in the country. Note how he greets them: On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Again, Jesus said, “Peace be with you! . . . ” (John 20:19–21) Is it any wonder he is referenced by the prophets as the Prince of Peace. What is your faith concerning peace? What is your experience? Where do you need peace in your inmost being? Where was it broken? Where do you need the peace of Jesus in your relationships? How will you open yourself to the Prince of Peace today? Grace and Peace, Stephen

Friday of the Third Week in AdventJn 5:33-36Jesus said to the Jews:“You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth. I do not accept testimony from a human being,but I say this so that you may be saved."

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 719 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - John the Baptist is "more than a prophet." In him, the Holy Spirit concludes his speaking through the prophets. John completes the cycle of prophets begun by Elijah. He proclaims the imminence of the consolation of Israel; he is the "voice" of the Consoler who is coming. As the Spirit of truth will also do, John "came to bear witness to the light." In John's sight, the Spirit thus brings to completion the careful search of the prophets and fulfills the longing of the angels. "He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. and I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.... Behold, the Lamb of God." - 548 (in 'The Signs of the Kingdom of God') - The signs worked by Jesus attest that the Father has sent him. They invite belief in him. To those who turn to him in faith, he grants what they ask. So miracles strengthen faith in the One who does his Father's works; they bear witness that he is the Son of God (abbreviated). - 582 (in 'Jesus and the Law') - In presenting with divine authority the definitive interpretation of the Law, Jesus found himself confronted by certain teachers of the Law who did not accept his interpretation of the Law, guaranteed though it was by the divine signs that accompanied it (abbreviated) Got a Bible question?

1204 - Advent: John the Baptist- Liz Taylor by Genesis the Church

During the season of Advent, it's customary to revisit the story of John the Baptist, whose primary purpose was to prepare the way for Jesus. This Sunday we'll imagine what John might say to us as we prepare for the coming of Christ.

The theme for this Second Sunday of Advent is faith. Sefanit discusses this faith as evidenced in the life and example of St. John the Baptist, the Forerunner of the Word.Sefanit Stefanos is a seeker of Truth, wife, mom of three, favorite sister, and friend. Originally from Eritrea, born in Rome, and raised in Dallas, Texas, her upbringing in an Eritrean-American home shaped her worldview that she is part of a greater community. Her joy is being with family and friends, and she loves making people feel at home in her presence. Her calling in life is to introduce others to the generous love of God that she has experienced.  Sefanit experienced the best of both worlds as a graduate of Texas A&M and Franciscan University and has worked in full-time ministry for more than ten years. Living in Dallas with her husband and kids, you'll find her seeking joy and gratitude amidst changing diapers and cleaning food off the walls.Read more about today's featured podcaster and saint here: https://www.littlewithgreatlove.com/saint-john-the-baptist/Get your Advent + Christmas free downloads, new Saints for Slackers swag, and Christmas cards here: https://www.littlewithgreatlove.com/shop/This podcast is sponsored by Red Bird Ministries.

Prayer offered at the opening of this episode: Third Week of Advent: John's disciples said to Jesus, "Are you 'He who is to come' or do we look for another?" In reply Jesus said: "Tell John what you hear and see: the blind recover their sight, cripples walk, lepers are cured, and the poor have good news preached to them..." LK 3:10 Third Week of Advent O Jesus, I rejoice at the signs that say you are near. Your power is everywhere if I could see it.  Yet my eyes often see only darkness and what has yet to be done. I believe in you, yet when I look around evil seems so strong and goodness so weak. If you have come, why is there still so much suffering and why do the poor still despair? Where are your miracles today? Your grace, O Lord, is more fruitful in my world than I imagine. I know your power is everywhere around me, if I could only see it. Show me today where the blind see and cripples walk.  Make my vision sharper than it is.  From Christmas Prayers and Customs: Christmas Classics, Edited by Rev. Victor Hoagland, C.P., The Regina Press New York. Passionist Missionaries 1997 A Prayer Before Reading Sacred Scripture: Lord, inspire us to read your Sacred Scriptures and to meditate upon them day and night. We beg you give us real understanding of what we need, that we in turn may put its precepts into practice. Yet we know that understanding and good intentions are worthless, unless rooted in your graceful love. So we ask that the words of Scripture may also be not just signs on a page, but channels of grace into our hearts. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ your son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
