Today Carl Gutzman walks us through Ephesians 2:10 and highlights how we can make 2024 a great year by fulfilling our divine purpose by growing in fellowship with Christ, and by serving God and his people with the gifts and works he set apart for each of us.

This week we looked at the Christmas story in Luke 2. Pastor Dan encouraged us to live out the amazing reality that this story is true! And To proclaim the good news of Jesus birth, death, and resurrection this Christmas season.

Last week we learned about the problem of Sin and the fall of man in Genesis and how God was planning and promising Jesus even from the beginning. Today Pastor Robbie speaks on the promise of a savior king who would come from Bethlehem. This promise, the promise of Jesus, is the hope that kept the Israelites alive in the old testament, and is the hope that keeps us going today.

As we begin our Christmas series this year we begin by looking at the original problem in Genesis 3 that fractured our life with God and with others. But in this passage we also get a glimpse of a Savior to come to redeem mankind.

Many of us believe and proclaim a belief about grace, but often struggle to let that gift transform us. In this message, Paul unpacks the gospel as a gift from God that changes how we relate to God, to ourselves and to others.

In this section of Ephesians, Paul describes the reality of our spiritual state. But despite the sobering truth, Paul goes on to explain the hope of Christ who makes dead people alive.

In Acts 17, we see that Paul was provoked by the idols of the city he was in. This caused him to engage with the people and share the truth of the gospel with them. As we are in our 3rd week of the GO conference, we focus on what it looks like to be provoked and share the gospel locally in the places we call home.

We have discussed a lot of different tools for interpreting the Bible, now it's time to put it all together with an example. How do we take a passage, identify the genre, look at the context, and then apply it to our lives?

How can we as a church make a difference globally? In Acts we learn about the church at Antioch which gave their best to bring the gospel to the unreached places. In week 1 of our GO Conference we hear from our missions partners Samuel Getachew as well as Mike and Kim Adams, on how we can change the lives of those in Ethiopia.

How can we live with hope in a world that's so upside down? In this passage of Ephesians, Paul reminds his readers of the great power and authority of Christ that is far above all other rule, power, authority and name. Our confidence is in the power of Christ even when it is unseen to our natural eyes.
