What will cause your heart to genuinely praise God this Christmas season?

Eggnog, “small family gatherings,” gifts, Christmas cookies, carols, and

your favorite Christmas meal are all wonderful. They are all gifts from God

that we can look forward to. Yet, the greatest, most significant gift God

has given is His Son, Jesus Christ. That’s what Zechariah declared and the

topic of this message from Luke 1:67-80.

For three Sundays we will study portions of Luke 1-2 that will help us

worship our Savior. In this message, we are specifically looking at Luke

1:5-38.

As we continue the theme of thanksgiving this Sunday, we see that God

forgives our sins. Do you make a practice of confessing sin to God?

Throughout Psalm 32 David expresses a joy in knowing that his

transgressions against God can be forgiven and the steadfast love of God

can be known personally in his life.

The message is, "God is my Keeper" from Psalm 121. God's people can and

should always have reasons to be thankful. With Thanksgiving upon us, we

are looking at Psalm 121 which God presents Himself as a "keeper" of His

people.

The message is from Lamentations 5:19-22. It’s been a doozy of a year.

Someday, we hope to look back at “2020” and see that its hardships came to

a final conclusion. In the last chapter of Lamentations there is the

reality that suffering does not come to a predictable end. We are unable to

set term limits for pain and hurt. In light of that, the book closes with

very practical ways to lament to God when there is no end in sight.

The message is from Lamentations 4:17-22. Jeremiah continues his sorrow

over the devastating fall-out of Jerusalem’s sin. And then at the end of

the chapter we find a “gem-sized” statement of hope: “he will keep you in

exile no longer.” Here’s what we will see: God is faithful and His promise

to bring His people through exile is reason to have hope.

The message is "Hoping While You're Hurting" from Lamentations 3:21-33. As the pain and suffering continues into Lamentations 3, Jeremiah turns our attention to two truths that every Christian must believe when going through very difficult times: God is good and He loves His people.

Last week we began a 5-week series in the book of Lamentations for the

purpose of understanding how to process grief. How do Christians grieve?

We lament, we don't despair, because we know God is there. This week,

Lamentations 2 presents us with a sobering picture of God's anger at sin.

Thankfully, Jesus has protected Christians from God's anger, yet we lament

as we see the world wildly running straight into God's judgment.

Pastor Nate brings this message from Lamentations 1. The year 2020 has been

a year filled with sorrow, hurt, and pain for many people, and who knows

when it will come to an end. This is the first in a five week series in the

book of Lamentations, which will help Christians understand how to go

forward in life with emotions that come from pain and suffering, yet still

keep their eyes on God.

Pastor Andy brings this message from Galatians 5. We are by nature and

nurture people who express identity through various means. When we walk

into a room full of strangers and see a familiar identity marker, we feel

like we know a little bit about that person. So, what is the identifying

mark for believers in Jesus? This question has been asked since the first

century, and the Apostle Paul provides an answer in Galatians 5.
