Community Pastor Jason Crothers makes his first sermon at Desert Hills Bible Church.
As we have our annual 24 hour prayer vigil, he preaches on prayer. He gives encouragement to pray and how to combat hopelessness in prayer.
This week we light the fourth advent candle, the candle of love. Love is the heart of the Christmas story. God sent His Son into the
world because of His love, and Christ died for His people as an act of love for sinners (Romans 5:8). God’s love came to us in our lost and sinful condition, and His love came to us in a person, His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, who entered the world humbly, as a baby born in a manger.
This week is the third Sunday of Advent, so we light the candle of joy. Everyone who was drawn to Christ at His birth experienced immense joy. From the lowly shepherds to the magi from the east, joy was the theme of the first Christmas. Because of Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection, we can experience true joy today through faith in Him as we await His second advent when we will have fullness of joy in His presence.
This morning is the second Sunday of Advent, when we light the candle of peace. The birth of Jesus was God’s action to bring
peace to His people. Because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, all believers have peace with God. As we consider the second
Advent candle, we are reminded that we await the return of our Lord, when sin’s curse will be broken and His peace will reign
over all the earth.
This Sunday marks the first Sunday of the
Advent season. We will light a candle each
week of Advent leading up to Christmas Eve,
when we will light all five Advent candles.
The first candle symbolizes hope.
Throughout the Old Testament period,
believers in God’s promise of a Messiah
looked forward to His coming with hope,
longing for relief from their sins, from their
enemies, and ultimately from death itself.
Jesus our hope was born to die for our sins,
and now we wait expectantly in hope for His
glorious return.
This week we are excited to welcome Dr. Stuart Scott as our guest preacher. Dr. Scott is a Professor of Biblical Counseling at The Master's University's Graduate Program in Santa Clarita, CA. He has written and co-written several books, including The Exemplary Husband, Killing Sin Habits: Conquering Sin with Radical Faith, Biblical Manhood: Masculinity, Leadership, and Decision Making, and Counseling the Hard Cases: True Stories Illustrating the Sufficiency of God's Resources in Scripture. I pray you are blessed by our time together in worship this week
As we gather for worship, we are all aware of how momentous this week is in American politics. But as momentous as the 2020 election is, something even greater happens every week when we meet for worship because the King of kings speaks to us through His Word and accomplishes His will that will stamp eternity. I pray our time of worship will encourage your heart and equip you to navigate the week with grace, joy, and peace, so that Desert Hills might continue to shine brightly with the glory of the gospel of Christ, whatever God's providence may hold.
Nothing is more important when building something than to ensure it has the proper foundation. God, in His glorious wisdom and grace, has given the church a sturdy and lasting foundation. This week we will look at the foundation of God’s temple and the significance of that foundation for us as God’s living stones. I pray God’s Word will encourage you and transform you more intothe likeness of Christ as we gather this Lord’s Day to worship Him.
