The 4th Sunday of Advent represents the message of the angels and symbolizes peace. Keeping in mind the Children’s play, I’ll be continuing on a similar theme to Rob and Dean, speaking of the miracle of Jesus incarnate, specifically as a baby. The message will address peace in the midst of a giving up of control – that peace comes from radical trust of the Father.
In every birth announcement, there are similarities and differences. Join us at 9 am this Sunday, the 3rd Sunday of Advent, as we worship and reflect on Jesus’ unique announcement filled with good news of great joy!
Not all religions are the same. Nor are all “gods.” During the Christmas Season, we celebrate the incarnation of the All Mighty, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. When He “became flesh” it revealed to us who God The Father is and how He loves, relates to and cares for us. As a result, the Incarnation is the reason we can sing “Joy to the World, the Lord has come!”
This Sunday is the 1st Sunday of Advent, the church’s four-week journey toward the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Throughout Advent 2022, we will learn the essential reality of Jesus’ incarnation. Join us at 9 a.m. as we worship the Incarnate Deity in song, prayer and a message for all ages lifting up Jesus as “God with us” who has come to save His people from our sins!
This Sunday, as we reach the final chapter of I Corinthians and the end of our series, we reflect on all of the ways the body of Christ has struggled with political division and cultural controversy since the very first century. Yet in this final chapter was also see Paul encouraging us to continue to strive for unity and generosity in the faith, and demonstrates that love is not measured in quantity – but in quality. Join us at 9 a.m. as Ministry Coordinator Tara Farrell brings a message on how to love the church with generosity, abundance, and joy.
“Gentlemen,” he said, holding a pigskin in his right hand, “this is a football.” Vince Lombardi was coaching a group of three dozen professional athletes, yet he started from the beginning. Reminders are always helpful and often essential. Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. as we receive the Apostle Paul’s reminder of the Gospel that he preached and in which the church lives. May God meet with us, restore our clarity in His Gospel and send us into the week abiding in and abounding for the Lord Jesus Christ!
One of God’s gifts to the church is worship! Yet, sometimes worshipers do things that we don’t like while we praise God together. Worship gatherings for the Corinthian Church were lively but also chaotic and in many ways, disrespectful. Though many aspects of first-century worship were different than ours, the solution Jesus unveiled through the Apostle Paul’s pen is the same. Join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. as we unite to worship God and discover the intermingling of worship and love!
An ordinance is a Christian experience with physical elements (water; bread and cup), that is celebrated when the church of Jesus comes together. This word is closely associated with the term sacrament, which is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace. Join us at 9 a.m. this Sunday 10/30 as we meditate on Jesus and the significance of His table, followed by an invitation to participate in the ordinance of communion together.
As the inventor, designer and overseer of marriage, singleness and sex; God communicates His intentions and guidelines for His people throughout the Bible. One of the places where He does so is in 1 Corinthians 5-7. Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. as we worship our Great God in song, prayer and further meditation on what union with God looks like in our single and married lives.
Like gravity, photosynthesis, germination and everything beautiful in our world, sex was God’s idea. As the inventor, designer and overseer of sex, God has been comfortable communicating His intentions and guidelines for sexuality among His people. One of the places where He does so is in 1 Corinthians 5-7. Join us this week and next as we consider God’s vision for this mysterious reality and what fidelity to God’s plan looks like.
