This sermon for the second Sunday of Advent focuses on the fact that we are celebrating JESUS' birth. Not just any birth. And that because of the salvation available to us through Him as Savior, we have much to celebrate. "Jesus- Our Savior - Our Salvation" reminds us that our sinfulness was the reason Jesus came and thus the reason for the season. (click here) http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20071209.mp3

This first Sunday of Advent our focus was on Luke 3:7-18,21-23. The sermon title "C and E Christians" noted that often "C and E" Christians are those people who only show up in church on Christmas and Easter. The holiday rituals are for the most part only rituals devoid of any life to them, and thus not really "holy days." Since we served communion on this Sunday, the sermon points out that communion reminds us that the baby born on Christmas is the same one who grew to become a man and was crucified and then rose again on Easter. Communion connects the C and E. Yes, "C and E Christians" are also those who know that the reason for the "C" was that the "E" event might bring us salvation.
