Pastor Gary opens up our Christmas series with a message about what the good news of “The First Noel” really was.

Pastor Byron discusses Jacob’s career as a shepherd and God’s goodness and trustworthiness to Him, even though his treacherous uncle continued to abuse Jacob.

Pastor Gary uncovers the fallout of Jacob and Rebecca’s deceptions of Isaac and Esau, but he shows that God is gracious to show the path, or stairway or ladder, to heaven for all who will believe like Jacob.

Pastor Danny explains a tragic scene of family drama in Isaac and Rebecca’s story but reminds us that even while we suffer the consequences of our actions, God still can achieve his plans for our good and His glory. Genesis 27-28:9

Pastor Ryan focuses on the one chapter solely dedicated to Isaac and traces the good and bad ways that he followed in Abraham’s footsteps. Also, the issue of “the promised land” and the name of the people opposed to God’s chosen ones—the “pelesheth” in Hebrew—appear to have amazing parallels with the events surrounding the October 7th attack on Israel.

Pastor Gary preaches on the death and legacy of Abraham, the father of our faith, and on the troubled brotherhood between his grandsons Jacob and Esau.

Pastor Byron explains how Abraham’s burial of his wife Sarah—the mother of the faith—displays his ongoing trust in God’s covenant with him, a covenant that promises him a people, a land, and a worldwide blessing.
