Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez starts a new sermon series Rethinking Church: Embracing Change and Growth. The Prophet Habakkuk exhorts us with powerful words of trust and hope in God's perfect timing: "For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay Habakkuk 2:3, NIV .

This week Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez finishes our sermon series “Advent: A Season of Expectations”. Let us reflect on the profound significance and life-transforming impact of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

This week Pastor Ashlee Adkins continues our sermon series “Advent: A Season of Expectations”. The beginning of Mary’s Magnificat is one of my favorite portions of Scripture. A call to her true purpose. An ode to her Creator. A reminder of whom she was to magnify. I know with this season, it’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of ‘all the things.’ But just as Mary had to give God a hard yes to being the mother of the Messiah, we too are called to saying yes to encapsulating God in all we say and do, especially in this season; the season we long and expect the coming King of Kings. Let me impress upon you to say yes to God in a way you aren’t quite sure you can fulfill, even if you are overwhelmed and exhausted with an empty tank. Why in the world would I impress you to do this? Of all seasons? Because that’s exactly what Mary did. And because she did, her willingness provided us with the most wonderful gift of all – Jesus Christ.

This week Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez begins our new sermon series “Advent: A Season of Expectations”. Dear brothers and sisters, today we gather to explore the profound covenant of peace established by the Messiah, who’s coming was foretold by the prophets and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. As we delve into the scriptures, particularly Isaiah 9:6-7. We will unravel the divine plan of salvation, and the covenant promises that God has made with humankind throughout history. From the covenant with Adam to the establishment of the New Covenant through the Messiah, we witness the unwavering love and grace of God and the manifestations of His covenant with us.

This week Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez finishes our Stewardship Campaign sermon series “Kingdom Wealth and Stewardship”. possessions. We will be recognizing that our role as stewards is to faithfully manage the resources entrusted to us by God, using them wisely for His purposes. By trusting that as we are faithful in stewarding what we have, God can bless and multiply our resources, enabling us to be more effective in His Kingdom’s work. We understand that responsible stewardship will lead to heavenly rewards as we hear the Lord's "Well done" and share in His eternal joy.

This week Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez continues our Stewardship Campaign sermon series “Kingdom Wealth and Stewardship”. We will be recognizing the potential harm that the love of money can cause, leading to spiritual bondage and the neglect of one's faith. By cultivating a heart of integrity in handling money, being content with what we have, and avoiding the temptations of materialism and excessive consumerism. We need to prioritize the pursuit of spiritual growth and investing in activities that have a lasting impact rather than acquiring temporary earthly possessions.
