In Isaiah we see the unique image of a child given to us, that is also to be called our Everlasting Father. In Jesus Christ, we have the Son of God that shows us the characteristics of the perfect father. A father that will never leave us, promising to be reachable for eternity.  He gives to us an everlasting father that will love us endlessly.  Key Verses: Isaiah 9:2,6

When Jesus comes into the world, he promises to come as a “mighty God” — as someone who comes with real power. In this sermon, we look at what it means for Jesus to offer us His power in the midst of our daily lives. Key Verses: Isaiah 9:6

One of the clearest prophecies of Jesus’ birth, apart from the gospels, is found in Isaiah 9. Here we see that a child is born to us, that he is actually God’s son, and that God is giving him to us. As we prepare our hearts to celebrate the gift of Jesus this Christmas season, we will take a closer look at Isaiah 9:6-7 to better understand what we have been offered through Christ. This message focuses on the significance that Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor.  Key Verses: Isaiah 9:6-7

Romans 8 is the culmination of the book of Romans. Throughout this chapter, Paul has shown us the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. He explained that the Holy Spirit gives life and hope in our suffering, and specifically in Romans 8:31-39, Paul points to the love of God that can only begin to be understood through the teaching of the Holy Spirit. We all face a love deficit in how we express, understand, and experience it. Only through our leaning on the Holy Spirit can we begin to be reminded and transformed by the love of God. Key Verses: Romans 8:31-39

As we are led by the Spirit, we’ll experience both glory and suffering. Suffering isn’t meaningless; it holds the promise of future glory, which we all eagerly anticipate. As we wait for redemption, we lament what is broken in our world and move through loss towards hope. Key Verses: Romans 8:18-25

Jesus fulfilled the law’s impossible task, freeing us from condemnation. This truth is essential for leading spirit-directed lives. The Spirit gives us life and direction, enabling us to join God’s family. As adopted children, we enjoy security, intimacy, and God’s presence. Now, we are called to carry on our Father’s mission.  Key Verses: Romans 8:1, 11-17

In Romans, Paul has been building a case for real lasting life change to happen for the followers of Jesus. He is proclaiming the Good News of a free mercy offered through Jesus that can lead to renewal on this earth and an eternity spent with Him. Yet, within this message of hope there is also a warning to not trust in our own abilities to keep doing good. We are split creatures, full of desires to do good and desires to do evil. Jesus is then the only answer in this world and it is the promise of His indwelling Spirit that gives us hope.   Key Verses: Romans 7:14-25

If God gives us unlimited grace, does it really matter how we live? In this sermon, we see how grace challenges us to leave our former sinful ways and to embrace a new, deeper freedom in God’s free gift of love. Key Verses: Romans 6:15-23

This week, we will continue our study in the book of Romans by taking a closer look at the peace with God that is available to us through the work of Jesus Christ. Christ died for us while we were still sinners, so anyone who puts their faith in Jesus is no longer under God’s condemnation. This truth ushers in the reality of peace with God, which leads us to experience joy: in our waiting, in our trials, and in our relationship with God.  Key Verses: Romans 5:1-11

Paul focuses most of his message to the Romans on the gospel. He explains the gospel, who it is for, and how it should change everything about us. We tend to think we know the gospel and then, in turn, miss the mysteries that it reveals for us. The gospel is meant to be the good news that becomes our eternal meditation. Every day, we should meditate on the gospel and allow it to transform how we see God, ourselves, and our purpose in life. Reflect today on the gospel and what it shows us about God, ourselves, and our purpose in life. Key Verses: Romans 3:21-31
