Today, Pastor Ron will be explaining how Christmas is way more than simply giving and receiving gifts and having elaborate meals. Christmas is all about the incarnation of Jesus. Incarnation is a term used by theologians to indicate that Jesus, the Son of God, took on human flesh. God did an incredible work in sending His only begotten Son into the world and providing us with a salvation we do not deserve. Praise the Lord for that moment in which “the Word became flesh.” You are now redeemed!

Even going back to the first Christmas, when Jesus was born, you can see worship. The wise men who came to see Jesus came to worship Him. Today, Pastor Ron's going to show how it should still be the same for us, as Christmas comes around each year. Your focus should be on Jesus, and remembering His birth, which led to His eventual death and resurrection. This act is what allowed you to be saved. With Jesus at the forefront of your heart and mind, how can you worship Him this Christmas? 

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus coming miraculously to the earth, through the virgin birth. It was the first step of Jesus' earthly ministry. He came, so that He could make a way for all who want salvation, and so they could have access to the Father. In today’s message, Pastor Ron is going to express how worship played a role in the first Christmas, and how our worship should look the same. We can praise Jesus for the incredible sacrifice He made. He alone is worthy of your praise and worship.

What’s the difference between hope, and wishful thinking? We often use hope in that way, don’t we? “I hope I win the lottery.” “Hopefully, I’ve got enough gas to get to the station…” Do you see what I mean? Is that really hope? Or just wishful thinking? Today in his message, Pastor Ron teaches you that when your hope is in God, it’s NOT just wishful thinking. When your hope is in God, you’re exercising faith in the promises that God has made. Your hope isn’t a possibility, it’s a promise you can count on.

Don’t you just hate it when you see an advertisement for exactly what you need, only to find out it’s got all kinds of strings attached? It makes you wary of trusting anything that sounds too good to be true… cause it probably is. In his message today, Pastor Ron teaches you that the GRACE of God is FREE and there’s no strings attached. Unlike other religions, you can’t earn your salvation, Jesus paid it ALL. There’s no amount of good deeds you could do, but God offers salvation freely to EVERYONE!

Hard work is a good thing. We could use more of it in our society today. But what about working for the wrong thing? What about when you put all your efforts towards something that you’ll never be able to accomplish? Sometimes you need help from outside of yourself! In his message today, Pastor Ron teaches you that Salvation is ONLY from God. There’s nothing you can do to earn it for yourself. You need outside help. You need Jesus! Put your trust in Him; in His death and resurrection, and you will be saved.

Many people think that they’re good enough to go to Heaven. But by whose standard are they determining whether they’re good enough? Today, Pastor Ron teaches that according to God’s standards, the only way you can be good enough to enter Heaven is if you lived a perfect life. God’s standard is perfection. That means that no one deserves to go to Heaven. The good news is that Jesus lived the perfect life and died on the cross for your sins so that you can have the gift of eternal life! Praise God for His grace!  

Today, many Christians and churches have let culture, politics, and their feelings determine what the Bible says. If there’s something in the Scriptures that goes against their beliefs, then they just ignore it or change it to align with their ideas. However, the Bible is always the ultimate authority because It is God’s Word. In today’s message, Pastor Ron teaches that as a Christian, you need to bring everything in your life under the authority of God’s Word. Make the Bible the ultimate authority in your life. 

Our nation is deeply divided by race, class, gender, and politics. On almost every issue you can imagine, there is hostility and tension among both sides. We all want peace and unity, but it seems that no one can grant it. No politician, celebrity, or influencer can do so. But there is a God who can. In today’s message, Pastor Ron teaches that Jesus breaks down all social barriers. His free gift of salvation is available to everyone. He died on the cross so that you can have peace with both God and people. 

Did you know that the demons are great theologians? They know a lot about God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell, and the Bible. But they are not saved. That’s because even though they know the truth about Jesus, they haven’t submitted to Him as their Lord. In today’s message, Pastor Ron teaches that faith goes beyond just knowing about Jesus. In order to have saving faith, you must submit your will to Jesus and have Him be Lord over your life. Have you given Jesus control over your life? If not, do so today!
