We know that a Savior has been promised. We look tonight at the expectation of that Savior. This is our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service.

Worldly hope looks for an immediate response - biblical hope is the confident expectation that something good will happen in the future. We look at the difference between these two, and ultimately come to realize that Jesus Christ is our hope! And He is a hope that will not fail!

In this sermon, we really get to see the pastoral heart of Paul and the importance of keeping the faith as a body of believers. We also see how Jesus is worth it in the midst of all suffering, and how we are to grow in love and holiness while remembering that the Lord is coming back!!!

Today we continue in our series on 1st Thessalonians. We take a look at the joy of salvation, and what it means to live accordingly in light of Christ's return.

In part 2 of our series, we look at Paul's heart for the Thessalonian church, and how he preched to them the gospel that was entrusted to him, not seeking to please men, but God. In a world where pastors have become men-pleasers, it is a breath of fresh air to study about someone who only sought to please God. Everything Paul said and did was in the understanding of Christ being Lord and of His return - and it drove him to preach the gospel unashamed!

We start our series on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians today! The main theme of these books is the return of Christ, but they are also full of practical ways to live in light of Christ's return. We hope you enjoy!

Unity in the local body is so important! We walk through Ephesians 4 today and look at how we can best honor Christ through unity in the church!

Depression is not something that is often talked about in churches, and we need to change that, not just because so many people struggle in isolation with depression, but because there are biblical examples of people used by God who struggled with depression. May this sermon speak to us all on a practical level, and maybe we run to the arms of Jesus, even with our depression!

We close out our Delegated series today, which has been our series on stewardship. Today we look at giving, specifically tithes and offerings, and what it means for you and I today. We cannot be good stewards in a biblical sense if we are not good stewards of our finances, and it is an immediate reflection upon our relationship with the Lord!

Today we look at how we can properly steward forgiveness and why it matters. We look at three specific aspects of forgiveness: the forgiveness we have received from God in Christ; the forgiveness we are to give to each other as forgiven people; and the forgiveness we sometimes have to give to ourselves, which might be the hardest one of the three to accept and implement!
