Join us as we turn to the Gospel of Luke to see the Christmas story through the life and sacrifice of Mary.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound impact of saying 'yes' to God, even when His plans differ from our own. The story of Joseph and Mary's engagement serves as a poignant example of faith in action. Joseph's dilemma – caught between the law and his love for Mary – mirrors our own struggles when faced with unexpected life changes. The angel's message to Joseph highlights God's larger plan for salvation through Jesus Christ. This narrative encourages us to trust in God's wisdom, even when we can't see the full picture. It challenges us to choose commitment over convenience, and to align our lives with God's will. The message emphasizes that our greatest gift to God is a stable, God-centric home where faith can flourish. As we navigate life's uncertainties, we're called to respond like Joseph – with obedience, trust, and a willingness to be part of God's grand narrative of redemption.

As we approach the Christmas season, we're invited to explore the profound significance of the nativity story beyond its familiar trappings. This message challenges us to view Christmas not as the pinnacle of God's story, but as the prologue to His grand rescue plan for humanity. We're encouraged to slow down and carefully examine Matthew's genealogy of Jesus, understanding it as 'credits' that link Christ to the promises made to Abraham and David. This perspective transforms our understanding of the Bible, reminding us that the Old and New Testaments are intricately connected, telling one continuous story of God's faithfulness. The incarnation - God becoming human - is presented as a shocking, vulnerable act of love that defies our expectations. As we contemplate this, we're called to recognize our role in God's ongoing story, embracing the risks of faith and actively participating in His mission of redemption.

Join us as we continue reading through Paul's letter to the Corinthians.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of the resurrection story. The central theme revolves around 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul articulates the core of Christian belief: Christ died for our sins, was buried, rose again, and was seen. This simple yet profound confession forms the bedrock of our faith. We're challenged to see ourselves as part of God's ongoing story, with speaking parts to play in spreading this good news. The message beautifully illustrates how the resurrection was the unexpected plot twist that changed everything, bringing new life and hope to a world desperately in need. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to consider our role in passing on this life-changing message to future generations, ensuring that the chain of faith remains unbroken.

Join us as Pastor Herrell continues our series and teaches on the Holy Spirit.

In this powerful exploration of 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor McNair challenged us to reexamine our understanding of love and spirituality. The famous 'love chapter' isn't just a wedding favorite - it's a strategic rebuke to a church that had lost sight of its primary calling. We're reminded that Jesus said His followers should be known by their love, not by their gifts or knowledge. The passage uses a chiastic structure to emphasize love as the central focus of all spiritual gifts and practices. We're confronted with the reality that without love, even our most impressive spiritual achievements amount to nothing. This message urges us to move beyond superficial spirituality and embrace a love that is patient, kind, and enduring. It's a call to maturity in faith, shifting our focus from temporary spiritual experiences to the eternal value of love. As we reflect on this, we're invited to consider: How well do we embody this kind of transformative love in our daily lives and relationships?

Join us as we continue to study 1 Corinthians and address one of the most controversial verses in the Word.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to rethink our understanding of spiritual gifts, particularly speaking in tongues. The core of 1 Corinthians 14 reminds us that the purpose of spiritual gifts is to build up the church, not ourselves. We're urged to pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy - which here means proclaiming God's word in a way that strengthens, encourages, and comforts others. This teaching invites us to reflect: Are we using our gifts to edify others or to boost our own spiritual ego? Pastor Herrell draws an intriguing parallel between Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and our spiritual communication, emphasizing that it's not the quantity of our words, but their impact and understanding that truly matter. As we contemplate our role in God's kingdom, let's ask ourselves: How can we use our gifts to clearly communicate God's love and truth, building up the body of Christ in unity and purpose?
