Perseverance in Prayer

Perseverance in Prayer

Our pastoral assistant for youth, Stephen Ellison, brings the message, “Perseverance in Prayer” from Luke 18:1-8. Prayer is one of the easiest areas of the Christian walk to grow discouraged in when we don’t see results as soon as we’d like, but Scripture instructs us to not grow tired of continuing to ask of God. Jesus reminds us that our loving Father desires for us to be diligent in bringing our requests to Him, and He loves to provide for those that belong to Him.

Words from the Cross

Pastor Andy brings the message, "Words from the Cross." When faced with the final moments of life, what a person says becomes highly significant. Hanging on the cross with his death imminent, Jesus spoke. These seven statements will be the focus of our time together as we listen to and learn from Jesus' words.

“Woman, behold, your son!...Behold, your mother!” John 19:26-27

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Mark 15:34

God's Gift - Part 3

The message is from Luke 2:1-21. The angel who came to the shepherds in Luke 2 arrived with “good news of great joy for all the people:” a Savior, Christ the Lord had been born. In our humanity we are certainly subject to seasons of sorrow and pain, but Christians have a treasury of great joy, Jesus Himself, that is ours now and forever.

God's Gift - Part 2

What will cause your heart to genuinely praise God this Christmas season? Eggnog, “small family gatherings,” gifts, Christmas cookies, carols, and your favorite Christmas meal are all wonderful. They are all gifts from God that we can look forward to. Yet, the greatest, most significant gift God has given is His Son, Jesus Christ. That’s what Zechariah declared and the topic of this message from Luke 1:67-80.
