Pastor Neil will finish our Christmas Series-The King with the final message titled: "The Coming King" The same Jesus who came in humility on that 'O holy night, born in a manger, is the same Jesus who will return in glory. His heart hasn't changed. His mercy hasn't faded. His love hasn't weakened. But His return will reveal the fullness of who He truly is-Savior, Lord, and our- COMING KING. He came once quietly, so we could know His grace. He will come again powerfully, so we can see His glory And both are expressions of the same unchanging love.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Zechariah 9:9-11 Zechariah 9:9-11 | The Coming King Who Saves from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE HOPE OF A NEW GENERATION THE VICTORY OF THE KING THE KING ENTERS HIS HOUSE THE DAY OF CONQUEST IS COMING Zechariah 1:4 (ESV) Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.' 1 Samuel 8:19–20 (ESV) “No! But there shall be a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.” Mark 10:45 (ESV) For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 11:11 ESV And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Matthew 26:28 (ESV) for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Ian Duguid The blood that would be shed to bring us peace was his blood. The righteous King had to die in place of his unrighteous followers, the Good Shepherd in place of his unfaithful flock, so that God could accomplish his eternal purposes. Revelation 19:11–16 (ESV) Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Christmas. Emmanuel. “God with us.” That reality changes everything. Join us Sunday morning, and let's consider how Christmas changes everything. Me, you, Mosaic, and the world around us.
Man can live about 40 days without food, about three days without water, and about eight minutes without air, but man cannot live a second without hope. Our world is filled with hopelessness. It burdens my heart to think about how many people walk through the doors of LBC each week in a state of hopelessness. A business executive who has let the pursuit of worldly success ruin her life and lead her down a path of destruction. A father who has lost his job and feels embarrassed and humiliated. A man or woman who has received a devastating health diagnosis. My prayer is that as they arrive here at LBC, they would begin to find hope. Not a hope that is found in a program or even a payment but a hope that is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Biblical hope comes from a divine intervention. God Himself entering into time and space and history to save us from our dark and sinful condition. Isaiah 9 reminds us of that hope. Isaiah 9 is Isaiah’s way of saying, “Keep your fork!” The story isn’t over. The best is yet to come. Hope is on the way! I pray you will make plans today to join us for worship this weekend as we examine the hope of Christmas in a prophecy made 700 years in advance of Christ’s birth. “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6 In Christ, Pastor Chad

As we conclude our study of Zechariah, we do well to heed Martin Luther's assessment: "Here, in this chapter, I give up. For I am not sure what the prophet is talking about!" So, with great humility we'll come to this end and recognize that we might not completely understand what is going on. But while we might not comprehend everything perfectly, we'll apply the "doctrine of least meanings." It asserts that we may not know exactly what this means, but we know it "at least means...." Once again, we'll get to delight in images of the Coming King!
When it comes to ruling, only one can sit on the throne. In 1558, Elizabeth the 1st was crowned as the queen of England. But… she also faced a rival queen, because to the north lived Mary, Not crowned in England, but close enough to be dangerous. Close enough to claim the throne. At first, Elizabeth…

I. Introduction — What Advent Really MeansAdvent = “coming” or “arrival.” Not just remembering Christ's birth but anticipating His return.Historically marked by fasting, reflection, and preparing room for Jesus.Weekly themes: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love.Hope is often the hardest to hold onto—even for strong believers.“Hope deferred makes the heart sick…” (Proverbs 13:12).Hope delayed makes the heart tired. Hope can feel risky or fragile. II. The Reality of HopelessnessMany feel “learned hopelessness”—after disappointment, unanswered prayers, and long waiting, the heart stops expecting anything to change.People do this spiritually the same way the dogs did in the study.BUT God does not want His children living in hopelessness.Isaiah was sent to speak comfort, forgiveness, and hope to weary people.Isaiah 40:1–5: A message of comfort, deliverance, and restoration. God is leveling valleys and mountains—He is preparing a way. III.

IV. Truth #2 — HOPE HAS PERFECT TIMINGGod's timing is not Amazon Prime—but it's always right on time.Galatians 4:4 — “When the set time had fully come, God sent His Son…”The 400 “silent years” were not silent—God was preparing the world:Socratic method encouraged questions.Old Testament translated into Greek.Jews scattered across the world.Rome built highways and unified language.When conditions were perfect for the gospel to spread, Jesus came.God works the same way in our waiting—He aligns things we cannot see. V. Truth #3 — HOPE IS COMING AGAINAdvent looks backward and forward—Jesus will return.John 14:3 — “I will come back and take you to be with Me…”A future hope: resurrection, restoration, eternal life.Proverbs 13:12 (full verse): Hope fulfilled becomes a “tree of life”—a sign of healing and wholeness in Revelation.One day every longing will be fulfilled.Until then, we choose hope. VI. Closing — A Call to RespondGroup 1: Those far from God—hope is not in something; it's in Someone.Group 2: Believers carrying heavy burdens—Romans 15:13 prayer of overflowing hope.Hope is our posture, our anchor, our promise.“Our hope is not in desired outcomes—but in God Himself.”
In this second week of Advent, the lectionary highlights an expectation and a hope for a king to come and reign in justice and righteousness. How should followers of Jesus respond?

As we enter the second week of Advent, we turn our attention to the we'll look at significant biblical figures such as Mary and Joseph, and more fringe biblical figures like Simeon and Anna. What they all had in common was they built their lives around Yahweh. Their willingness to build their lives around God enabled them to have a deeper sense of peace, rest and consolation amidst a chaotic world. May we do the same!
When John the Baptist went out preaching repentance and baptism, even Pharisees and Sadducees took notice. They came out to hear him and to be baptized. But he called them out calling them a brood of vipers and wanting to know who warned them to flee the wrath to come! Many think that John is utterly rejecting them, but he is making sure they understand what they are doing. They think they are righteous, so why would they need repentance? But if they need repentance, then they are not really righteous! We need to be wary ourselves of thinking we are good to go in this life and must continually return to this call of repentance and need to bear fruit that reflects our repentance.Image: St. John the Baptist Preaching, Mattia Preti, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
