Sermons from November 2025

Advent reminds us that God is not late, even when he feels slow.  Just as Israel waited centuries for the Messiah, we wait for God’s promises and Christ’s return.  The Christmas story shows that God’s timing – his mow’ed – is perfect.  In our impatience, we want instant answers, but God works like a farmer, not a factory.  He grows faith in seasons, not seconds.  While we wait, we serve.  Advent trains us to be patient and remember the same God who showed up unexpectedly in a manger…

Most of us feel thankful for the people around us, but rarely say it.  And when we don’t express gratitude, it doesn’t just go unnoticed.  It can be misunderstood.  In this message, we look at how gratitude was never meant to be kept to ourselves.  When you express it, you do more than make someone’s day.  You reflect the heart of God.  Your gratitude can restore dignity, build connection, and even changed a life.  Because gratitude withheld is love unfelt.

Gratitude isn’t just a holiday tradition.  It’s a practice that has the power to transform us.  This message explores how thankfulness can bring peace, contentment, and joy no matter the circumstances, and how living with gratitude opens our eyes to God’s goodness.
