Sunday Sermon 12/24/2023Counting Down to Christmas

Waiting For Christmas by Aurora Cornerstone

In today's message Pastor Danny Parga is continuing the 2nd part of the message entitled “Waiting for Christmas”. Last time we were together I shared with you from the Scripture “Why humanity needed Christmas”. We went back to the beginning in Genesis and discovered that because of man's sin it brought death, disease, and corruption to all creation. But God had given humanity a promise: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15 God promised a Christmas would come through the woman's offspring. Today's main text is found in Matthew 1. We are going to look at how over 42 generations how God preserved His promise to bring Christmas.

Matthew 1 teaches about the man in the "back of the room" during the story of the birth of Christ. He never said a word that was recorded, but his actions speak to us about something God wanted the world to know.

Life is full of waiting. As we enter into the Christmas season, you may be feeling hopeless and asking God, "what's next?"What do you do while you are waiting on God? There's a lot we can learn from the book of Hebrews about finding hope.

When You Feel Hopeless : Waiting For Christmas Part 2 by Rivertown Community Church

As I child, I remember the excruciating wait for Christmas. But it turns out ? that leading up to the very first Christmas ? there was also an excruciating wait.

Exploring the Old Testament's concept of 'Shalom,' we discover peace as more than the absence of conflict, emphasizing its essence of restoration and completeness. Through Zachariah's song (Luke 1:57-80), this message unpacks three crucial themes—redemption, remembrance, and restoration—highlighting the promise of Christmas: the restoration of all things.

In today's message Pastor Danny Parga takes us to the beginning in Genesis 1-3 and how the Christmas message was from the beginning. We are going to be looking through Scripture concerning the awaited birth of our Lord and Savior. Today our world is in turmoil and people are looking for a Savior. But like the old song says, “looking for love in all the wrong places” Humanity is looking in the wrong places for their salvation. They are looking for money to save them, they are looking for a relationship, they are looking for a world leader, they are looking for their government but none of these are the answer. They are waiting for Christmas, but they don't even know it because as the Scripture says: “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 Today begins a series “Waiting for Christmas”. For the next couple Sundays, we are going to look through the Scriptures about this awaited birth.

Micah the prophet looked into the future for a solution to the problem of Judah's difficult present. That answer for Judah is still the one we cling to today.

When You're Weary From Waiting :: Waiting For Christmas Part 1 by Rivertown Community Church

WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS-LUKE 22-22-38

What is Advent and why do we make such a big deal about it each year? Join us for this episode with special guest Pastor Anne as we discuss Advent!

The will of God meant a difficult journey and experience for Mary and Joseph. How does God use the circumstances of life to bring us to a perfect place to do His will? 

Waiting for Christmas - Luke 2

Waiting for Christmas - Luke 2

The Christmas season means waiting on a special moment to arrive. Truth is, the world waited a long time for Christ to arrive...but He did. How did the Christmas promise begin. This message explores when the wait began and why.

Well didn't Kiri Allan throw the cat amongst the pigeons last night. Driving along Evans Bay parade, the windy road on the East side of the bay that is used as a route out of Wellington, the Justice Minister hit a car. The cops turned up.  It turns out she's been drinking.  She refuses to accompany a police officer so she's hauled off to the police station to sit on a naughty chair until the early hours of the morning. She's the Justice Minister. She's been detained by the police. The Number 1 thing not to do in that job. She had returned a breath test over the legal limit but at a level considered an infringement offence and police will not press charges in relation to that. She was described as being very distressed So she quits her ministries and then the Prime Minister starts blaming her mental health. Just a few days after assuring us that her mental health was good enough to continue in her job. None of this is good.  None of this shows an ability to deal with stress and responsibility.  All of this smacks of a government just holding on by the skin of it's teeth. And the whole year has been like this. An inability to handle the basics.  All Michael Wood had to do was employ an accountant to sort out his affairs.  All Stewart Nash had to do was not email cabinet deliberations.  All Kiri had to do was call an Uber. Simple mistakes by supposedly smart people. And now we have 5 more parliamentary weeks left and the Labour Party has created a rod for it's own back.  3 years ago they had the most decisive parliamentary win in MMP history. 65 MPs on the government benches and yet the big jobs have been shared amongst a small coterie of politicians. There's been no future planning, there's been no blooding of new talent. We need a new Justice Minister. we need a new conservation minister, we need a new emergency management Minister in a time when emergencies seem to be coming at us left, right and centre. Who will Hipkins turn to? And while he doesn't need to should he call an snap election?  I mean, things are not going to get any better for this Labour Government. The opposition parties will get their guns in a row and the next 3 months will be a horror show You can almost hear an echo of the time when Muldoon called a snap election when half cut.  When challenged that it didn't give his party time to prepare, Muldoon replied it didn't give his opponents time to prepare either. Whatever happens Chris Hipkins is a lame turkey right now, waiting for ChristmasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Passage: Luke 2:22-35 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Christmas 2022 Category: Christmas , Luke Summary: Simeon appears in the Christmas story as a minor character who offers a mysterious prophecy to Mary and Joseph about baby Jesus. In this message we are going to study this eccentric man and draw a few lessons from his example.

The One Worth Waiting For (Christmas Eve, 12-24-22)

Jesus Immanuel

The waiting is often the hardest part of any event. How much more is the difficulty when we hope for prophecy's fulfillment? As we await the return of Jesus Christ according to Scripture, so too the Jews had to await Messiah's first advent. Luke testifies about two extraordinary people, Simeon and Anna, who saw--and recognized--the Messiah when he was but an infant. Pastor Mollenkopf explains the importance of these two meetings to saints today.

The part that Simeon and Anna played in the Christmas story.

This is from our Advent Series, Waiting for Christmas. Sarah Schneider Watson, co-lead pastor, is speaking on the way that Jesus came to be one of us on Christmas. John 1:1-14 tells us this wonderful mystery was hinted at since the beginning, that God would become one of us.

The Old and New Testament words for Peace mean complete or whole. So when Jesus said he was giving us peace, it meant that he was making us complete. How do we embrace this gift and allow him to come and move in our lives?

In the Gospel of Luke, we come across two characters who make their appearance in the final acts of the Christmas drama. One is a man named Simeon; the other is a woman named Anna. They don't appear in any nativity scenes or in many Christmas cards, but they are significant players in the first Christmas pageant. Both of these individuals were waiting for something...actually, they were waiting for someone. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thekingdom4everyone/support

Micah 7:1-20 tells us that we, as followers of Jesus, wait for God to do what he has promised. We don't wait for what we want, we wait for what God wants (which is always better). How do we learn to wait for the promises of God?

Hope in the Bible isn't vague or abstract, it's rooted in the person and character of Jesus. And it's deeply connected to how we wait. How do we, as the church, remain healthy as a people who are called to wait?
