Today we celebrate the beginning of a New Year! As we start another year, we know that God does not change! God's reminder through the prophet Isaiah is God is not done with Judah. Join us as we look at the faithfulness of God: He has not changed and He still has a great work to do through His people.

What an opportunity to worship on Christmas Day! We look directly at the gift of the presence of God. The reality is there are people who don't know about Jesus and there are those who haven't received Him yet. Christ was the Light and Life sent to save a dark world. Have you received the unspeakable gift this Christmas?

The gift of the presence of God, is something that every believer should desire. We understand in order for God to be with us, we needed a miracle. God came to us in the most incredible way, as a baby, but His purpose was the Cross. Join us as we look at the coming of our King!

Join us today as we focus on 8 words of scripture, "Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift". As we look to these words, I pray we can see the opportunity that is before us. I pray we will understand the fullness of Jesus. I pray Jesus will be the focus of our Christmas season.

Goodbyes are not the easiest for anyone. As the eastern tribes return to their land, Joshua commends their faithful obedience and help in conquering the land. He also calls on them to protect themselves with continued obedience to God. Join us as we learn what that type of obedience looks like for us today.

Our world is filled with so much going on, many are looking for somewhere or someone to turn to, a safe place, a refuge. Joshua had the responsibility of establishing cities of refuge within the promised land. As we look at these cities today, we are reminded of these words from Psalm 46: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

One of the most important aspects to a faithful life, is how well one finishes. Paul says, "I have kept the faith." We will see the reward of Caleb's faithfulness as we he receives his portion of the land. Caleb's life shows us the blessing of fully following.

Today, we will look at the culmination of all the fighting and conquering during Joshua's leadership. The people and land are at rest from war. The responsibility now is to continue the work of the Lord and divide up the land. In order to rest in His promises, there is still work for us to do today. Join us as we see the promises of God become a reality to His people.

Our God is a loving God, and his mercies are new every morning. But there is a limit to his patience after which judgment must occur. Even knowing that there is sure punishment and judgment awaiting those that don’t turn to Him, millions intend to come to God; but they put it off. We don’t know when our last day will be. Putting it off is like playing Russian Roulette with our eternity. Join us today as we look at our situation through God’s eyes.

A simple note can be used to remember things. God uses the scripture today to offer a time to pause and remember how far he has led them. There is nothing that can stand in the way of what God promises His people. Join us today as we take note of the work of the Lord.
