Join us for this special Christmas worship service as we gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel—God with us. In this message, we reflect on the beauty and depth of the Christmas story through Scripture, song, and prayer, focusing especially on the often-overlooked faith and obedience of Joseph.
This service includes heartfelt worship with beloved Christmas hymns such as “Adore,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” and “The First Noel,” followed by a powerful message from Matthew chapter 1. We explore how Joseph adored Christ not merely with words, but through obedient action, even in the face of difficult decisions, heavy responsibility, and painful delay.
✨ In this message, you’ll discover: Why Christmas is about more than tradition—it’s about the incarnation of Christ How Joseph’s obedience was rooted in God’s Word, not feelings What it means to trust God when the path forward is unclear How the facts of Scripture transform our faith and our daily walk Why Emmanuel—God with us—changes everything As the busyness of the season surrounds us, this message calls us to pause, reflect, and truly adore Christ—not just at Christmas, but every day. 📖
Scripture Focus: Matthew 1:18–25 🙏 Theme: Adoring Christ Through Obedient Faith 🎶 Worship | Prayer | Biblical Teaching
Join us for a Christ-centered worship service as we gather to adore Christ the Lord during this special Christmas season .
Through prayer, Scripture, and beloved hymns like
Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery,
Angels We Have Heard on High, and
O Come All Ye Faithful, we are reminded why Jesus came—to save the world 🌍✝️.
In today’s message from Luke chapter 2, we continue our series “Adoring Him: The Christ of Christmas” by looking at the birth of Jesus through the eyes of Mary. While the shepherds proclaimed Christ publicly, Mary kept these things and pondered them in her heart ❤️.
This message encourages us to cultivate a personal, daily walk with the Lord, trusting His promises, resting in His truth, and responding in faithful obedience.
📖 Message Title: “Thanksgiving Is the Doorway to God’s Presence” Psalm 100 teaches us that gratitude is not just a holiday theme—it’s a daily walk with God. In this message we explore:
• The danger of an ungrateful heart
• Why gratitude must be intentionally cultivated
• Biblical commands to give thanks in all things
• How thankfulness shapes our posture, peace, and spiritual stability
• The importance of remembering God’s blessings in every season of life
In this sermon, we look at:
📖 Psalm 75:1 — “Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks…”
🙏 The danger of an unthankful heart
🏛 How Israel’s history shows the importance of remembering God
❤️ Why gratitude is more than a feeling—it's an intentional act
🙌 What it truly means to acknowledge God in all our ways (Proverbs 3:5–6) 💡 Why giving thanks is central to worship, obedience, and spiritual health
You’ll also see how:
• Gratitude protects us from pride
• Acknowledgment is the biblical expression of thankfulness
• God desires our hearts more than our possessions
• Thanksgiving is not a holiday event—it’s a lifestyle of worship
Whether you're preparing for Thanksgiving or simply wanting to grow spiritually, this message reminds us that everything we are and everything we have is from the Lord.
In today’s message, we walk with the Apostle John into one of the most powerful and awe-inspiring sections of Scripture: the heavenly vision beginning in Revelation chapter 4. Here, John is called up to witness “things which must be hereafter,” giving us a breathtaking glimpse of God’s throne room, the worthiness of the Lamb, and the unfolding of God’s final plan for humanity.
We explore:
✨ The transition from the Church Age to the Hereafter
✨ Why Revelation isn’t always chronological—and how to read it
✨ The biblical basis for a pre-tribulational rapture
✨ The promise believers have of being kept from the coming wrath (1 Thess. 4–5)
✨ The throne of God, heavenly worship, and the purpose of all creation
✨ The sealed book in God’s right hand and the only One worthy to open it—Jesus, the Lamb of God
✨ How God’s justice, holiness, love, and judgment are perfectly balanced
