The spiritual light of Christ is an everyday reality for us as believers. The Bible itself, the Word of God, is a light for us in this dark world. It’s crucial we understand just how important the Bible is daily, something that the book of Psalms reminds us of time and time again.

The earth is massive. There are an estimated 8 billion people living here, many of whom are living and participating in darkness. They have no hope, they have no light. When Jesus Christ entered the world, He made a bold claim: that He was the light of the whole world. So, what does this claim mean for us?

One of the core themes of Christmas is light! Christ has come and now light shines in the darkness and darkness will not overcome it. We recognize and celebrate how, in Jesus, our God has drawn near to us and desires to bring us near to him in heaven.

The proclamation of "God With Us" might evoke dreams of a better life. But when you look at the account of Jesus' birth, it becomes evident that he came for a different purpose. Come and see how Christmas changes everything for everyone.

The heart of Herod was self-centered and hardened. When we become so familiar and used to a Christian life, it can be easy for our hearts to enter the same state. With a look at the Magi, we see very different looking hearts; hearts that follow and worship Jesus.

After the angels’ announcement, the shepherds recognized what an incredible gift they had been given. It is awe-inspiring to witness the complete and overwhelming joy of their response. May we be filled with that same joy so that we are compelled to share it with others.

Join us for this special service for Advent, a season when we are reminded of the birth of Christ. In this service, we celebrate that Jesus is born in Bethlehem, the House of Bread, to nourish and strengthen us in our faith and feed us with his Word of truth to fill our lives.

The angels came to proclaim peace on earth. Not the peace this world strives after, but the peace of Christ provided through the forgiveness of sins. Let us be peacemakers this season who point others to the only source of true peace, Jesus Christ our Lord.

The prophets proclaimed the coming of Christ, our rescue from sin. In response to this sure and certain hope, the prophets also prompt us to examine our hearts and strive forward to life everlasting.

On this Thanksgiving Eve, we take a special moment to give thanks! Together, we thank the Lord for people, places and things He has given us!
