In this sermon, Pastor Zack begins a three-week Christmas series from Titus 2:11-14. In this first week, we focus our attention on verse 11 — For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people. In this message we learn about the incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and why His incarnation […]
In this Christmas message — 6 Gifts From God — Pastor Kevin draws our attention to the prophecy of Isaiah and the gifts that God promised His people. These gifts are not the kind you find under a tree wrapped in a bow, but in the person of Jesus Christ. As you study this passage, […]
During the Christmas season, most plays and Church programs we attend typically end the Christmas story around Luke 2:20. From Luke’s account, he reminds us of Mary & Joseph, Jesus being placed in a manger, and the shepherds and angels rejoicing that the Savior has been born. But the Christmas story doesn’t end in Luke […]
In this sermon, Steve Townsend looks at the story of Zacharias in Luke 1:5-79 and the transition of Zacharias from a speechless priest to a spirit-filled prophet.
In this fourth and final message of his 4-part Christmas series, Pastor Kevin draws our attention to Mary. She is the youngest composer of all those in Scripture who sang about the birth of Christ.

In this first message of the 4-part Christmas series, Pastor Kevin takes a look at how to think of trees during the Christmas season in a gospel and redemptive way. As he looks at three trees that are mentioned in Scripture, he helps us see that: (1) Everyone became a sinner as Adam partook of […]

In this Christmas message, “Jesus the Generous God,” Pastor Kevin takes a look at 2 Corinthians 8:9 as one of the back-drop passages of the Christmas story. Unlike the accounts of the Christmas story that we read about from Matthew & Luke, this passage allows us to see Christmas from the Godward side. It helps […]
