Listen to a special Christmas Eve service as we reflect on the birth of Jesus with a sermon about the gift God gives to us for free!

The bright and shining star in the sky during the time of Jesus' birth has captivated us for centuries. The Magi followed this star to seek out the King that was to be born. Herod sought that same King for very different reasons. As we look at the story of the Magi let’s remember the incredible gifts that were given to the baby Jesus and reflect on how those gifts foreshadow the unbelievable gifts given by our Lord.

Turning points. There have been so many turning points in history like the invention of the printing press, World War II, and the internet to name a few. Nothing is even a close second to the birth of Christ. The shepherds had a front row seat to the single most important event in human history. How did they respond? How would you respond? Join us as we look at this classic and incredible story of the angelic proclamation that the Messiah has come to save the world.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was faced with the exciting news that she would be the vessel the Lord would use to bring the Messiah into the world. She welcomed this news with grace and faithfulness. Mary seems to do this with no hesitation or fear. How? 
How was Mary able to take this news in stride and look expectantly on the birth of Christ? The answer can be found in her song, often called the Magnificat. Join us  as we study this beautiful and telling song. Let’s all be encouraged to have the same unflinching faith Mary had as we start this Christmas season.

Would you live any different today if you knew that Jesus was going to return in a week? How would you prioritize your life, your time, your money, or your relationships? This week we are going to finish our sermon series in Peter as we talk about what it means to live for THAT day, the day when Jesus comes back for us. Join us as we are challenged to live THIS day for THAT day when Christ returns.
