In the Christmas story, we see unexpected moments that changed everything. Within them, we find truths that we can hang onto and apply to our lives. In week 1, we look at the life of Joseph.

This message is all about gratitude and recognizing that every good thing we have in life is because of God.

What does it look like to live for the eternal rather than the temporal? In today's message, we answer just that and also talk about God's goodness and mercy which is always following us.

In this message, we break down Psalm 23:5 and discover practical ways to walk out seasons in our lives. 

In this message we walk through Psalm 23:4 and talk about the meaning of the "valley of the shadow of death" along with the comfort the Good Shepherd brings with His rod & staff. The meat of the message is how God matures us through trials if we trust Him and follow His leading in our lives.

In the message, 'The Good Shepherd Made Me Do It', Pastor Rich discusses finding rest and renewal in life, while focusing on Psalm 23:2. The sermon emphasizes the concept of allowing God to be our guide and surrendering to His lordship. It highlights the provision and care of the shepherd in biblical times that is still in effect today. The sermon encourages prioritizing a relationship with God, taking practical steps for rest and renewal, and recognizing the importance of taking a day off as commanded by God.

In todays message, "Mission Minded" we look at Acts 1:8 and the importance of being witnesses to Christ. This message highlights three points: being witnesses in our Jerusalem (closest to us), being witnesses in our Judea and Samaria (those different from us), and being witnesses to the ends of the earth. Pastor Shepherd emphasizes the urgency and responsibility believers have in sharing the love of Christ, encouraging them to reflect on whether anyone will go to heaven because of their witness. The sermon calls believers to actively engage with others and fulfill the Great Commission.

In week two of Love They Neighbor we learn, "People are a Priority" which emphasizes the importance of showing love to our neighbors and pointing them to Jesus.

Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to prioritize people and make an eternal impact in their lives.

Week 1 of the Love Thy Neighbor series, "Gaining Influence in Our World," emphasizes the importance of loving our neighbors and pointing them to Jesus.

Pastor Rich also encourages speaking God's truth in love and living a life that reflects the blessings of following God's ways.
