Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
“If it feels good…do it! You only live once!”
Those are very worldly thoughts and they are all aimed at trying to find a pleasure filled life on earth!
It’s really a pursuit that been going on ever since Adam and Eve were in the garden when they decided they weren’t content with everything God had given them and they felt they needed something more…we all know what happened from there!
Join us for today’s message as we find the right mindset to find joy in our temporary earthly pleasures as they come and go throughout our lifetime. God bless you!

Sermon: 1.14.24- Sin, You're Dead to Me!
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Worship Theme: Sin, You're DEAD to Me!
Scriptures to read along with this message....
Isaiah 49:1-6 Sin, You're DEAD to Me! This is one of the "Servant Songs" of Isaiah. It’s a direct prophecy of Jesus. Because of his word and work, we are honored in the eyes of the Lord!
Psalm 2 Because Jesus is ruling over all things at all times, we have confidence in his victory over sin. Martin Luther said, “Psalm 2 is a prophecy of how Christ will suffer and become King and Lord of the entire world. This psalm promises that those who believe in Christ will be blessed. Through Christ, God has delivered us from sin, death and hell and brought us to eternal life! This is the blessing we pray for in the Second Petition of the Lord’s Prayer, that his kingdom come.”
Romans 6:1-11 (sermon verses ) Sin, You're DEAD to Me! God shows us what it means to be baptized. It means that we are not slaves to sin anymore. It means that we have new life in Christ Jesus.
Mark 1:4-11 Sin, You're DEAD to Me! Jesus’ baptism was the beginning of his public ministry. As his ministry began, the Father (voice from heaven) and the Spirit (dove) were well pleased!

Devotion: Wisdom- Meaningful or Meaningless?
Wednesday Jan 10, 2024
Wednesday Jan 10, 2024
You would think King Solomon ,who wrote the book of Ecclesiastes, would have the most meaningful life anyone could possibly have. He was a strong, wealthy, and smart King but yet he declares in the book… “MEANINGLESS! Everything is meaningless!”
I think we all feel that way sometimes!
Meaningful or Meaningless? Over the next few weeks we’ll be asking ourself that question as we go through different categories each week. Today we’ll be talking about wisdom…

Rise and Shine! Christmas break is over and you get to go back to work, or school!

New Years Day is a great day to talk about New Years Resolutions!
Do you make resolutions? It's a great opportunity to look at where you are and where you want to go and make plans. If you're like us, you've probably made many resolutions over the years that you were able to keep for a little while, but not long term. Did you feel like a failure?
It's at times like these we need to go back to God's word and find out what He says about us. God is a Lord of mercy and we hope you find peace in today's message!

Sermon: 12.24.23- What Child Is This?
Sunday Dec 24, 2023
Sunday Dec 24, 2023
We are all dealing with pieces of our heart that need replacing, right?
Each one of us is sinful. None of us are perfect. We all have rotten pieces of our heart that need to be replaced.
How does God deal with sinners that have rottenness that needs to be replaced?
Jesus! The child in the manger is the answer to any and every rotten piece of your soul that needs to get out of there.

Devotion: Getting Ready for Jesus, Our Prince of Peace!
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Peace is the presence of calm and the absence of anxiety.
Peace is the presence of optimism and certainty and the absence of worry, pessimistic doom and negativity.
Peace would also be the absence of terror, absence of dissatisfaction, and the absence of impatiece. Doesn't that sound great!? Never-ending peace!
What an honor God gives to us when He promised to bring us a Prince of Peace! Join us for today's devotion as we finish out our series on Isaiah 9:6 and may God bless you with peace this Christmas and always!

Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Worship Theme: From Heaven Above to Earth I Come!
Scriptures to read along with this message....
Luke 2 These wonderful, familiar words that describe the birth of Jesus are precious to our hearts and minds. The same is true as we ponder the reaction of the shepherds. We look forward to Judgment Day - a day coming soon when the angels will fill the sky once again, praising Christ, the Lord!
Isaiah 35:1-10 (sermon verses ) What could people expect out of the Messiah? These verses give a powerful, wonderful forecast. How exciting to know that Jesus Christ has come - for us!!
