This week, I have a couple of messages for you. The first was delievered on Dec. 24th, at our morning advent service. John the Baptist was sent by God to prepare the people for the coming of the Savior. And in the same way, believers today have been called by God to prepare the people for his return. How have we been called to do this? How is this accomplished?

The second message is from our Christmas services. During the Christmas season, everyone talks about being in the Christmas spirit. What do they mean by this? And what does it truly mean to be in the Christmas spirit? These questions are answered in this message based on Matthew 1:18-25 and can be heard or downloaded at http://ourmedia.org/ia/details/KentSperryTheTrueSpiritofChristmas An alternate link for that message is http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryTheTrueSpiritofChristmas

Most of us know what the Bible and the church teach about Jesus, that he's the Savior of the world. But how can we know for sure? This question is examined in a message based on Matthew 11:2-10 and can be heard at http://ourmedia.org/ia/details/KentSperryIsHeReallytheSavior If you have a problem with that link, you can also hear it at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryIsHeReallytheSavior

Jesus has promised to return soon. But many people, even believers, are not looking forward to this day. They don't look forward to it because, when they read about it in Scripture, it sounds terrifying. Do we, as believers, have reason to fear the end?

Well, hopefully next week, we'll be back to our better sounding recordings. Our sound man has been gone for a couple of weeks, and we've struggled to run the system like him.

But yesterday's message focused on the return of Christ. According to Scripture, his return is near. So how are we to prepare for his coming and for the end of this age?
