When we encounter Jesus, His presence changes us from the inside out. We are no longer who we once were—we are made new, restored, and deeply loved. In Him, we find healing, purpose, and the joy of being called His friend.
Have you ever paused to truly reflect on what it took for your sins to be washed away? It required the ultimate sacrifice—a single, perfect offering of God’s own Son. Jesus endured unimaginable pain: He was beaten, mocked, betrayed, and crucified. His blood was poured out, and His body broken, all so you could be restored to a renewed relationship with a holy and loving God.
All Things New: We are called to live New Lives in Christ and are given all the tools to do so through His Word and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, the Bread of Life, invites us to come to Him and never hunger or thirst again. In Him, we find what our souls have always longed for—salvation, purpose, and eternal life. As we prepare for the celebration of His birth, let’s remember that He came to fill the emptiness in our hearts with His eternal goodness.
When you truly see Jesus for who He is, everything about you—your worldview, goals, and affections—transforms completely. Even more, your sins are no longer a burden; you're washed clean because He has changed everything.
In this message, we explore the unique supremacy and unparalleled nature of God as described in Scripture, emphasizing His singular authority and the futility of idols. Join us as we dive into the profound implications of worshipping the one true God and how this foundational truth shapes our faith and daily lives.
Join us as we explore the urgency embedded in Jesus' command to make disciples and teach obedience, as this message challenges us to contemplate whether we view it as a compelling directive or merely an optional choice – prompting us to reflect on the true essence of discipleship and proactive engagement in spreading the teachings of Christ.
The journey to Jesus takes us through a journey to the cross. Laying down our all to pick up and be transformed into the likeness of Christ— His character, His love, His forgiveness, His joy.
This Sunday is the start to the Advent season, a time to contemplate and remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is through Him that we have hope. What an incredible gift! Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
Embrace the profound difference between the world's clamor to "be who you want to be" and God's resounding declaration that "you are Mine, a chosen, holy people." Who we are centers around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—our ultimate gift of redemption. As we come together to celebrate Holy Communion, let us remember that God calls us His own, and it's in this divine truth that we find our purpose and identity.
