1 John 4:7-16 - As we approach Christmas and the first coming of Jesus, we learn today that He came because He loved us. Why is it essential that we know God loved us first? Are we being transformed by His love? How do we abide in Him as the scriptures say?

Luke 2:22-38 – Today's sermon focuses on preparation and the stories of Simeon and Anna. How did people back then miss the first coming? Are we prepared for the second coming? Pastor Rob shares three things for us to be prepared as we learn from the preparation of both Simeon and Anna.

Revelation 18 - Today, we learn the importance of not being caught up in materialism and greed, instead we should be caught up in Christ. As we help people find their identity in Christ, we call people to repentance and they have hope.

Revelation 17 - John shows us where Babylon began, it will end, and Jesus is victorious over it all. Pastor Rob points out the similarities between one world religion back then to the ideas and deceptions in our world today. As we are aware, we cling to the Gospel and carry it with us to share with others.

Revelation 16 - As we read through chapter 16, we are encouraged as a church to stay awake, be in Christ, walk in His holiness and look for His coming. As we go, tell others He is coming and lead them to Christ.
