81 years ago, the United States & Japan were hostile toward one another. After 3 years & 9 months of bloodshed, both nations reconciled & have been at peace ever since. All of mankind was born hostile to God. However, the message of the Gospel reveals God's reconciliation with mankind. His reconciliation runs directly through the blood of His cross, as executed by Jesus! Join us for our sermon "Righteous Reconciliation" from Colossians 1:20-23, where the Apostle Paul tells of how The Lord has reconciled His entire creation.

Layaway is still a thing! Though the "buy now, pay later" concept is more popular, a few retailers still offer layaway. As Believers, we understand that our hope is laid up in heaven. Therefore, we're under God's "Divine Layaway Plan" with regards to our salvation. Join us for our sermon "The Word of Truth" from Colossians 1:1-8, where we'll find encouragement in our future hope that's been reserved & secured for us in heaven by Jesus.

The United States Secret Service employs hundreds of humans to protect one human from less than hundreds of humans. They scan for threats before, during & after the President's official duties. As Believers, we too should scan for threats. Our adversary is our only real threat & according to Peter, he prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour! Join us for our sermon "Be On the Alert" from 1 Peter 5:8-14, where we'll be encouraged to remain alert with a sober spirit that's tethered to eternal life.

Serve With Humility - 1 Peter 5;1-7 - Jared Novak by Villas Grace Church

Historically, Christians have experienced persecution & suffering. According to Scripture, our persecution & suffering has been, is currently & will be ongoing into the future. Fortunately, God's plan of salvation, executed through Jesus, has guaranteed our salvation. What this means is that this world may persecute us to suffer, even to the point of death, but we have hope of a future which is something this world could never strip away. Join us for our sermon "Trial by Fire" from 1 Peter 4:12-19, where we'll be encouraged in our eternal security, despite our current sufferings.

In the early 20th century, families of the Aran Islands off the coast of Ireland, started a sweater making tradition. These sweaters are known for their unique, distinguishing patterns. In fact, no two families share the same pattern. As Believers, our love should be unique & distinguished from the world. The pattern of "Christian Love" should not only serve others, but also represent the glory of God through Christ. Join us, as we are encouraged in these truths from 1 Peter 4:7-11.

Within the criminal justice system, eye-witness testimony is the most potent form of evidence.

Join us as we celebrate our Lord & Savior's resurrection & observe these truths in our sermon "Raised On the Third Day" from 1 Corinthians 15:3-8.
