Let's look back on all God has done this year.

Hope is here this Christmas Eve because the shame of the past can be forgiven, the suffering of the present can be temporary, and the stress of the future can be avoided.  

Chaos cannot keep Christ out of Christmas. When we feel chaotic and stressed, we look to the Prince of Peace. We obey what Jesus says, stay where Jesus is, and worship who Jesus is. The result: Our storms will pass, and our salvation will become personal.

We need to stop viewing our Heavenly Father through the lens of our earthly fathers. The Everlasting Father is the founding father of eternity and the one constant father throughout history. The Father provides generously, pursues passionately, pardons completely, and parties extravagantly.

One of the names of God in Isaiah 9:6 is Mighty God or El Gibbor: hero, warrior, champion. Our Mighty God's power is proven, permanent, and personal. Cry out for the power of Mighty God today!

Names matter. One of the names of God in Isaiah 9:6 is Wonderful Counselor. The Wonderful Counselor is approachable, reliable, and available. His provisions are endless, His perspective is eternal, and His presence is everywhere. That's good news in troubling times.

Join us as we celebrate our baptisms.

The Lord gave two ordinances to the Church. Baptism is the first act of obedience after trusting Jesus as Savior, a public identification of belonging to Jesus, and a public declaration of who Jesus is. The Lord's Supper is a body of believers who commune together with the shared confession that Jesus is Lord.

Who has the Son? Those who place their hope for heaven entirely on Jesus and those who live with a new nature have the Son. If we have the Son, eternal life is promised, prayer is powerful, victory over sin is possible, and Christ is the priority.
