A message from the series "Advent Celebration 2023." This week kicks off our Advent celebration, pointing to 5 of the titles that the baby in the manger would fulfill as he grew. We ask that our people begin reading the opening pages of the Advent devotional, setting the stage for our first look at the Christ child from an unexpected perspective. In this first week, we wonder out loud - Mary, did you know that your baby is a warrior? We will spend much time Sunday morning gaining insight from the beloved but often misapplied story of David and Goliath in 1 Sam 17. Please read the entire chapter to refamiliarize yourself with one of the most exciting accounts in the entire Scriptures.

A message from the series "Lessons From the Life of Daniel." On Sunday Pastor Dave will teach lesson #5 in the Daniel series. This message will prepare us for the upcoming Advent series “What Child is This?”. As you read our focus scripture Daniel 7:9-14, realize that this prophecy describes an “Undefeatable Kingdom”. Please take some special time this week to read and pray over this section of God’s word. Beautiful insights given to us through Daniel.

A message from the series "Lessons From the Life of Daniel." This Sunday Pastor Dave will continue with message #4 in our Daniel series. We will be looking at Daniel 9:1-19. Daniel has remained faithful to immerse himself in the reading of God’s word. He discovers as he reads the writings from the prophet Jeremiah that the exile in Babylon will end after 70 years. With this knowledge Daniel prepares for and enters into a time of prayer, making a plea to God for mercy on behalf of himself and all of Israel. Take some precious time this week to quietly read and study Daniel 9 verses 1-19 preparing for the message.

A message from the series "Lessons From the Life of Daniel." Pastor Dave asks that we focus our study this week on Psalm 137. He will continue with message #3 in the series: Lessons from the Life of Daniel. His message this week will look at Daniel’s Unwavering Trust! As we learned last Sunday, Daniel had an uncompromising commitment to his faith and God. In many ways this came from his unwavering trust in God. Take some precious time this week to quietly read and study this Psalm reviewing the notes you have from the past two weeks of this series.

A message from the series "Lessons From the Life of Daniel." On Sunday Pastor Dave will continue teaching in Daniel 1 with the focus being on verses 8-21. Last Sunday served as the foundational message on the “Unstoppable Providence" of God. Now we will look at a second lesson from Daniel’s life – his “Uncompromising Commitment” to the Lord. Take note as you read this section how Daniel is a “transformer” and not a “conformer”, and how he remains gracious to those in authority. Take some special time this week to read and pray over this piece of God’s Word.

A message from the series "Lessons From the Life of Daniel." This Sunday Pastor Dave will begin a series in the book of Daniel. At a time when the Jewish nation was being judged and sent to a 70-year exile to Babylon, God in His sovereignty had a plan. A piece of that plan was to send a 15-year-old young man Daniel to that land. Daniel spent his entire life exhibiting the mighty power of his God to the greatest kings and kingdoms of the world. Join with us as we begin this series by reading and studying Daniel 1:1-21. May God bless your time in the word.

A message from the series "The Hope of Israel." In light of the current events in Israel and the Middle East, Pastor Chris will take us to Romans 11:25-36. His teaching will touch on these important questions: What is God’s plan for the Jewish people? What is God’s plan for the nation of Israel? What is God’s plan for the Promised Land? God has a special love for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. In this dark hour, they need our prayers and support. Please take some time this week to read and pray over Romans 11:25-36. Prepare your heart for the message Pastor Chris brings to us on Sunday.

A message from the series "1 Thessalonians." This Sunday Pastor Dave will conclude our study in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. We will take a final look at “Life in the Family of God” with a focus on verses 16-28. As you read these verses, here are some of the topics we will discuss: Joy, Prayer, Gratitude, and Holy Living. As you take time to be in the Word this week, please contemplate and pray over this section of scripture.

A message from the series "1 Thessalonians." On Sunday with Pastor Dave teaching, we will return to 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22. We will be looking at “Life in the Family of God.” In Matthew Henry’s commentary on these verses, he states “Believers often hinder their growth in grace, by not giving themselves up to the spiritual affections raised in their hearts by the Holy Spirit.” As you read and study these verses this week consider what these spiritual affections are.
