CHRISTMAS SUNDAY !!
Jesus as King
CHRISTMAS SUNDAY !!
Join us on this special day as we celebrate Christmas with great Christmas music, a message about Jesus as our Savior and communion.
Jesus’ message was never limited to “receive Him to go to heaven” or even simply “love more.” His central message was far greater, deeper, and more transformative: the Kingdom of God.
He began His ministry with the words, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near.” He urged us, “Seek first God’s Kingdom,” because He knew everything else in life would find its right place when God is placed first.
When God truly becomes King in our lives — even above the people we cherish most — our capacity to love actually grows. We love better, deeper, and more sacrificially because our love flows from Him, not from our own limited strength.
Idolatry happens when anything else becomes king in our hearts — our relationships, our ambitions, our fears, our comforts. But the God who revealed Himself in Jesus invites us into a different way of life, a Kingdom way, where He reigns and everything else aligns.
Put Him first, and watch how every area of life becomes more whole, more grounded, and more loving than ever before.
THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
On The Inside Looking Out
Jesus came with open arms — to receive everyone and to draw people together, not push them apart. Yet so often, we create our own criteria for who belongs in God’s Kingdom and who doesn’t. We use labels, assumptions, and expectations that Jesus never asked us to carry.
But Christ’s mission was simple and powerful: to draw all people to Himself. No exceptions. No prerequisites. No perfect résumé required.
Wherever you are in life — in joy or in struggle, in certainty or in searching — you can come to God and find acceptance, grace, and a place to belong. Jesus didn’t come to narrow the way. He came to open the door wide.
And that door is still open today… for everyone.
SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Rumors of Raptures and Revival
We’ve all heard the talk — the rumors of a coming rapture, the hope of a sweeping revival. But in the middle of waiting for the “big” moments, let’s not miss the small, sacred ways God is already moving in our lives every single day. His whispers, His nudges, His quiet answers — they matter.
Remember, during the 400 silent years before Jesus arrived, God’s people were waiting for a Messiah who looked and acted a certain way. And when He finally came, many missed Him… simply because He didn’t fit their expectations.
Let’s not make the same mistake. Let’s open our eyes, tune our hearts, and follow the everyday work of God that is already unfolding around us. Sometimes the greatest moves of God begin in the smallest moments.
