This time of year, we're reminded of the powerful lyrics of "Mary Did You Know." Though Mary was aware of her baby's divine nature, the full weight of his impact on the world was yet to be revealed. As we enter this special week, let's focus on the transformative power of Jesus' birth, life, and legacy. The manger, cross, and empty tomb represent the hope, redemption, and joy that Jesus brings to our lives. His birth is a profound reminder of God's love and the greatest gift humanity has ever received. May we, like Mary, cherish the truth of Jesus' sinless life, spotless nature, and divine purpose, and hold it deep within our hearts.

We want to hear from you.

 “Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

We have navigated through forgiveness and disregarding the critic. This morning, I want to remind you that no matter what you're seeking during this time of year, whether it's peace amidst life's noise, or you're struggling to find your voice to cry out to the Father in your brokenness, recall John 6:35, where Jesus says, "I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst." For born-again believers, this serves as a reminder that we already have the perfect gift, knowing that Jesus went from the manger to the cross, to the tomb, and arose again on the third day.

We want to hear from you.

Luke chapter 13:10-17

Last week we talked about finding forgiveness. This week, we're going to talk about critics. I promise that by the end of this series, it will all come together to make a beautiful picture. Everywhere you've been, whether it's restaurants or movies, has had a critic. Today, we call them reviewers.Now the text that we are looking at is something I want to point out to you is that Jesus went To Church. And he is Here this morning because I invited him myself I didn’t depend on anyone else to do it I did it. Not saying y’all didn’t invite him as well but I can’t depend on y’all to plan my walk with King Jesus

Over the years, we discuss this time of year as being the season of giving. While looking at Luke 6:38, it says something amazing. Let's take a look. The first part of this verse says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you." There's something about this time of year that makes us spend time looking for the perfect gift. Often, we need to be reconciled in our relationships. So, there's an order to this concept: we have to give in order to receive. We are given forgiveness by the precious blood of Jesus. So, we need to understand that the first word is "Give." I'm often asked the same question: how can I find forgiveness?

When we thank about thanksgiving the two words combined .We think of the History the culture the food.But I want us to separate those two words look at them apart. Then combine them back together. So the first being .Thanks: the meaning of Gratitude to be thankful for to have joy over receiving. 

Then .Giving: the Adjective of Giving means this 

1. providing love or other emotional support; caring.
2. "he was very giving and supportive"

When John Chapter 3 is mentioned, John 3:16 often comes to mind. Today, however, I invite you to join me in examining the preceding verses, 1-8. Jesus' declaration in verse 3 stresses the requirement of being born again for salvation and highlights the reality of transformation. Verse 6 serves as the foundation for our exploration. As we delve into these verses, we discover the fundamental principle that flesh originates from flesh, while spirit originates from spirit. Crucially, flesh can limit our perspective to mere obstacles, whereas spirit provides guidance, support, and empowerment.

The name of Jesus is where the shaking begins. Through Jesus' name, we see reconstruction taking place. The name of Jesus shakes hell's foundations, demolishing every demonic stronghold. Nevertheless, to see the wonders of Jesus' name, the Father needs to know you, and you need to make a stand that makes the enemy's powers recognize you.

In Deuteronomy 4:29-31, Moses urges obedience. I wonder, where has the passion, conviction, desire, and urgency gone in the body of Christ? Have we forgotten the simplicity of seeking the Holy Spirit and God's presence? Has our religiosity distracted us from seeking Jesus? Or have we surrendered? Scripture reminds us: draw near to God (James 4:8), seek Him wholeheartedly (Jeremiah 29:13)

This morning, I'd like to emphasize that following Jesus comes with a significant cost, as illustrated in John 12:1-8. In this passage, we observe several remarkable events, including Lazarus's resurrection, courtesy of Jesus's powerful call. We also witness Judas's true nature, as Scripture reveals his thieving tendencies in verse 6. Judas objects to the expensive ointment used to anoint Jesus's feet, suggesting it could have been sold for 300 pence, equivalent to approximately $45 today. Furthermore, Mary's selfless act of washing Jesus's feet with her hair showcases her profound love and devotion to Him. The Sacrifice was worth it all.

Do you yearn for Jesus, experiencing an intense longing for Him? Are you in God's desired place, seeking Him in quiet moments with a deep yearning? We often get entangled in life, forgetting our yearning for God. Some have put their relationship with Jesus on a shelf, only revisiting it on Sundays, with prayer lives focused on empty promises and self-serving desires. This replaces the genuine yearning for Jesus to change the world, instead driven by politics and domination.

We want to hear from you.
