Dec 19, 2021Humble BeginningsSeries: ChristmasThis morning, we’re going to look at a familiar Christmas passage – one which gives us some of the few details about the birth of Christ. We’ll take some time to look at His humble beginning together. Usually, that’s where things leave off – with little baby Jesus in the manger. I want us to go further. You see, it wasn’t just Jesus’ beginning that was humble, but His entire earthly ministry as well. We are called to that same sort of humility in our lives. Before we finish, I want us to look forward somewhat. You see, Jesus’ beginning was humble and almost went without notice, but His return is going to be quite the opposite – it’s going to be spectacular!God sent His Son to be our Savior.Luke 2:1-7Dec. 19, 2021To watch the video of this message, click hhttps://youtu.be/H81wAN0XPacere.

Dec 12, 2021Living as ConquerorsSeries: RomansPaul closes Romans 8 seeking to assure Christians of their salvation. He tells us in complete confidence that “God is for us.” But, that necessitates us asking a preliminary question, "Are you for God?" If you are, then these words of Paul give you 4 reasons to believe that God is for you: 1) God has already given us the greatest gift; 2) God has already declared us “not guilty;” 3) Christ is constantly praying for us; 4) Christ won’t let anything separate us from His love.Once we are in His care, it is impossible to be separated from Christ.Romans 8:31-39Dec. 12, 2021To watch the video of this message, click here.
