John 1:1-5 sets the stage for a tremendous testimony by the Apostle John on who exactly Jesus is. He is our Creator, He gives us Life, He destroys the darkness. He truly is God and truly is Man. He is the Messiah!

Christ is calling us into something deeper with him than just merely head knowledge. Christ is calling on us to believe, trust and KNOW that He is God. He calls us to give everything to Him so that the Spirit of God may live through us and His name would be glorified.

Listen in on interim preaching pastor Chris Dickerson's final message here at Southview Baptist Church as he helps set the stage for success for incoming lead pastor Brad Lynch. We can have assurance of success during challenging times because of God's promises, power and presence.

What are you waiting for this Christmas? Are like Simeon in the temple who was waiting for comfort? Are you like the prophetess Anna who was waiting for forgiveness? And having received these things, consider these actions to take: Become a marveler of Christ; become a mover for His Kingdom's work and become a messenger of the Gospel.

While some may view "successful" church growth by head count, scripture clearly states that true growth in Christ is measured in terms of spiritual maturity and dependence on the Lord. Likewise, the Church can grow when its members hold to sound doctrine, live the truth and fulfill their respective gifted roles within the Body of Christ.

Christ has gifted each believer for accomplishing the goal of spreading the gospel of Christ to the world. Are you using the gifts Christ has given you for furthering His kingdom?

A church is one body of believers united for one purpose and reaching forward to one vision.
