"Christ is Coming" Malachi 3:1 NIV  “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.  Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.  Malachi is a Hebrew name meaning "my messenger" famously belonging to the last Old Testament prophet who delivered God's final messages before a long silence, calling Israel to repentance and foretelling the coming of the Messiah, Our Lord, Our Savior.  Advent: Latin word “adventus,” the word advent means “arrival” or “coming.” First Week of Advent: * Theme: Hope (Hope Candle or Prophet's Candle). * Theme: Peace (Peace Candle, Love Candle, or Bethlehem Candle). * Theme: Joy (Joy Candle or Shepherd's Candle). * Special Name: Gaudete Sunday, emphasizing rejoicing. * Theme: Love (Love Candle of The Angel Candle) Christmas Day, which marks the culmination of the Advent season,and the central Christ Candle on the Advent wreath is typically lit on this day to symbolize the birthof Jesus, the Light of the World. Second Week of Advent:Third Week of Advent:Fourth Week of Advent: The prophecy here reveals the Christ Child that did come and also foretells the One who shall also return.   12/21/25 Misty Creek Community Church Sermon message by Jeff Willis

12/14/25 Sermon: The Humble Servants of God Part 2: Joseph, the Earthly Father of Jesus

The Humble Servants of God Part 2: Joseph, the Earthly Father of Jesus   Matthew 1:18-24   God’s ways are not our ways.  Just like Mary, Joseph, according to human reasoning and understanding was an unlikely choice to be used by God to be His Son’s earthly father. But God takes the logic and reasoning of the world and flips it on its head. It was prophesied that Jesus would come from the Tribe of Judah and would be a direct descendant of both Abraham and King David. Joseph fulfilled this ancient prophesy, but even though he was a man of simple means, we can learn much from his life. Joseph chose to walk by faith even in the midst of confusion. He was a man who modeled humility and Joseph’s life, character and obedience point us to the heart of our Heavenly Father. As the children of God, may we all strive to be more like Joseph; humble and selfless as we serve the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus. See you Sunday! I love y'all doug

12/07/25 Sermon: "The Humble Servants of God Part 1: Mary, Mother of Jesus"

The Humble Servants of God Part 1: Mary, Mother of Jesus   Luke 1:26-38   Perhaps you’ve heard the saying God’s ways are not our ways? It is in fact true. God’s will and His ways are often a mystery to us but He is always working things out for our good and for His glory. And in the Holy Bible, throughout history, the Lord has used humble people to accomplish great and mighty things. There is a saying worthy of full acceptance.   God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.    God only needs people that by faith will say yes Lord, here I am use me. There are so many examples of this in Scripture: Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers, being wrongly accused of sexual assault and jailed in Egypt; he had every reason to give up but Joseph by faith, remembered God’s promise to him in a dream and God’s word never fails.   Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho, helped the Israelite spies and by faith, believed their promises that God would save her and her family. The Lord did indeed save her and her household, but God didn’t stop there, Rahab would become part of the family tree and the genealogy of Jesus Christ, for God’s word never fails.    But there is perhaps no greater example of God using the humble to accomplish mighty things than the life of Mary. She was a simple girl from the poor town of Nazareth. The most unlikely of choices to carry the Son of God, the Light of the world. But God chooses the weak and humble things of the world to shame those things which are strong. Mary, by faith,  believed the angel Gabriel’s words and the Lord blessed her mightily, allowing her to give birth to our Savior and Messiah, Jesus…    This Sunday we’ll take a close look at the life of Mary, Mother of Jesus. God kept His promises to her because His word never fails, it never has and it never will.   To our great God be great glory! I love y’all Pastor doug
