This week, Pastor Chris continued our Christmas series with a powerful message highlighting the humility of Christ and His heart for everyone to know Him. Jesus entered the world in a lowly manner and rather than announcing His arrival to the powerful or the elite, the Lord chose to reveal it to the humble shepherds. This demonstrates that He came for all people and sets a profound example of humility for us to follow. The Lord continues to invite the humble to Himself today.

This week, Pastor Chris shares a powerful message about the hope of Christmas and how it leads us to worship the King. The Wise Men were among the first to encounter the newborn Jesus, and their response offers profound lessons for us today. Just as they bowed in humble worship before the Savior, we too are called to honor and glorify the Lord as we reflect on the hope and joy of the Christmas season. Their example reminds us that true worship flows from encountering the hope found in Christ’s birth.

This week, Pastor Chris continued our Christmas series The Thrill of Hope with a powerful message about how the light of Christ is the only true hope for a weary world. It's not hard to see that our world is broken and filled with darkness, desperately in need of hope. But the hope of Jesus shines through in His victory over sin and the world, a victory that He extends to each of us. In Him, we can exchange our weariness for the joy that only Christ can bring.

This week, Pastor Chris launched our Advent season with the start of our Christmas series, The Thrill of Hope. At the heart of the Christmas season is the hope found in Jesus—His sovereignty and unshakable faithfulness. By placing our hope in God rather than in our circumstances, we can experience peace even in the darkest of times, with His presence serving as an anchor for our souls.

This week, we had the privilege of hearing from Darrin Miller with a word on generosity. God is so generous to us and designed generosity to be beneficial; generous people are healthier, happier, have lower stress, improved relationships and extend their lives to others. As we grow in a deep understanding of God’s lavish love and generosity toward us, we will extend it more freely to those around us. 

This week, Pastor Chris shared a message on the lavish generosity of God that frees us to live generously toward others. The flesh tells us that a preserved life is a thriving life, but God tells us that the most joy-filled people are those who give generously. As we obediently give, we witness God’s kind provision and we are a blessing to others.

This week, Pastor Chris continued in our Advancing Church series with a message about the power of Jesus to restore our hearts and set us free. Through Jesus we are forgiven and made new, no matter where we have been or what we have done. The good news doesn’t end there as the Lord wants to partner with us in our restoration from one degree of glory to another!

This week, Pastor Chris continued in our Advancing Church series teaching about sharing the gospel and being aware of how the world can choke out our faith. As believers, we advance God’s kingdom through evangelism but must guard our hearts from the world so we can bear good fruit unto the Lord. God has great affection for each one of us and desires that we walk out our salvation in true knowledge, agreement and commitment to the gospel, making disciples along the way.

This week, Pastor Chris started a new sermon series called Advancing Church. God has a great vision for the Church and wants to use His bride to establish His kingdom on earth. As we gather, we meet with the Lord through worship and prayer and build one another up for the works of the ministry. There is power in the gathering of God’s people!

This week, Pastor Chris finished our Romans series with a word on being aware of the Enemy’s schemes in our lives. Whether we realize it or not, we have an Enemy of our soul and are in a spiritual battle, which Jesus has already one. The Enemy desires to deceive, accuse and tempt us but we can expose his schemes, live in authority over him and walk in Jesus’ victory.
