Even though we know about the birth of Christ, this message often fails to impact us as it should.  Even though we know that he's delivered us from death and everlasting condemnation, we continue to fear death.  And we're unsure that we'll be saved in the end.  However, knowing that the Savior has come should fill us with peace.  Knowing that he's come, we can depart in peace, knowing what God has in store for us.  This message can be heard or downloaded at http://archive.org/details/SeeingTheSalvationOfGod

Even after it had been revealed to him by God, and even after he'd pointed Jesus out to the people as the Savior, John questioned this fact. After he was arrested, he asked Jesus if he is the one to come. This is a question that's on many of our heearts at times. So, can we be sure?  This message can be heard at http://archive.org/details/CanWeBeSure

Before Jesus began his ministry, God sent John the Baptist to prepare the people.  John did this by proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.  He revealed to the people their sin, their defilement, and their need for cleansing.  In the same way, God prepares us for the Savior by calling us to repentance.  We must first see our sin and our need for cleansing before we can receive his salvation.  This message can be heard at http://archive.org/details/PreparingForTheSavior
