Sermon Title: “Certain Uncertainty”

Synopsis:

Sermon Title: “Unwrapped – 3 – Myrrh”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Matthew 2:1-12

Synopsis: The third gift the wise-men brought was myrrh. It was and is an embalming fluid. It represents for us that Jesus is the eternal sacrifice. It is every human’s plight to die but it was Jesus’ purpose to die. His death changed how we can apply a new understanding to our own circumstances. It means hope can even be experienced even when someone dies who means much to us. Once again, Jesus would be a different kind of sacrifice.

Sermon Title: “Unwrapped – 2 – Frankincense”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Matthew 2:1-12

Synopsis: The second gift given by the wise-men was Frankincense. It represented Jesus was the eternal priest. The Latin word for priest is pontiffs which means “I am the bridge.” Meaning Jesus would build a bridge between pain and promise, God and creation, grace and disgrace. Jesus wasn’t coming to offer a sacrifice but to be the sacrifice. Once again Jesus would be a different kind of priest.

Sermon Title: “Unwrapped – 1 – Gold”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Matthew 2:1-12

Synopsis: The wise men bring with them three gifts to give the baby Jesus. Each one is expensive but more so they are emblematic. Each one meant something and were important in the life and story of Jesus. They represent the fact that Jesus was an eternal king. A different kind of king; not one that would Lord over others, rather in His dominion He would demand. It showed He would be a different kind of King, one whose kingdom would last forever!

Sermon Title: “A Better Way…”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Proverbs 22:7, Eccl. 5:10

Synopsis: We have already discussed a little bit of what Advent is intended to be for us as Christians. It involves taking time to once again, prepare our hearts as we pause to remember the first coming of Christ. It also reminds us Christ’s second coming will be coming, however, in a much different way than He came the first time. It is a time for each of us to really look at our own lives and make sure we are ready. Join us as we look at one of the most significant challenges we all face as we come into this season and as we continue our own faith journeys.
