The last Sunday in November this year is known in the church calendar as Advent Sunday. Advent means a time of getting ready for Christmas, making spiritual preparations for the observance of the birth of Jesus. If you are where you can get your Bible, look with us at the first two chapters in the gospel of Luke, that historian/physician, to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude for insight into the days of Jesus' birth. You may want to look also at Isaiah's prophecy, chapter 40, verse 9, from which we get the title of today's message: "Behold your God!"

We welcome you this morning to our Sunday worship service from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. Thanksgiving Day is only a few days away! Each year our thoughts turn to what we should be thinking about all year long - giving thanks to God for His many blessings to us. Psalm 100 is a good place to begin, as we see some of the special blessings which are ours when we have "the attitude of gratitude." Thank you for joining us in worship today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

We begin today's message with a quote from an unnamed Native American, who said, "How to walk on the earth like a child of God, man does not know." In the Bible, John tells us that as Christians we are to walk even as Jesus walked. Surely this is not telling us the mechanics of putting one foot in front of the other. So let's spend the next few minutes looking at what is meant by "The Christian's Walk." Thank you for joining us in worship today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

If you go to a doctor or a medical clinic with a physical problem, one of the first things you can expect is for your physician to discover the cause of your ailment. Then the next thing is to try to offer the remedy. The sermon subject for today is "Why Art Thou Cast Down?" The Scriptural basis is Psalm 42, verse 5. If you ever have that "cast down" feeling, then maybe you can relate to the psalmist's feelings. So let's look together, first, at the cause, and then to the remedy. God has help for us just at this point in our lives.

When we look at our world today, we see evidence of many things that have gone wrong. It is truly a "topsy-turvy" world in many ways. There are wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, poverty, hunger, mass murders, and senseless killings of individuals in the news almost every day. But have you ever thought of the question, "What is earth's greatest curse?" That is our subject for today. Stay with us as we try to find an answer to this most important question.

There is an interesting story in Mark's gospel, Chapter 9, about an unnamed man who brought his son to Jesus for healing. This compassionate father said that his son had been sick since he was a child. Jesus told the father that "all things are possible to him that believes." Then the man said something that we all can relate to: "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief." How much faith does it take for God to hear us? That's our subject for today - "Mustard-Seed Faith."

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone who uses the phrase, "Listen to me!"? Perhaps you were already listening, but that person tells you to listen. A bit annoying, isn't it? But that is not annoying when God speaks to us. He tells us repeatedly in the Bible that we should listen when God speaks. That's what we are thinking about in today's message, "Learning to Listen."

Thank you for joining us in worship today. Let's listen now as God speaks to our hearts.

Did you know that several Bible characters have been given nick-names? Some are recorded in the scripture, but others are not. There is one man in the Old Testament who has been given the title, "The Weeping Prophet." He cried a lot because his heart was breaking because of the nation's refusal to return to God. Our subject today is "Journey Back to God." This is what we all need to have when we go astray from God's love.
