Welcome people to church by letting them know they are among friends, in a place where they are cared about and loved.

What if we could love the way Jesus did? What if the way we love could make a difference in the world around us? What if that love looked at everyone the way God does? A love which doesn’t see the past but is consumed by a desire to see people come to know Jesus. A love which is patient and kind. Not envious or prideful. A love which puts others before ourselves and chooses peace over anger. A love which protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres. Do we love like this? Do we love like Jesus? Maybe it’s time to ask a simple question…How can we love…better?

Many of us have been doing church differently. Sunday mornings have become a bit more casual, living rooms and coffee shops have become sanctuaries and fellowship has a new, less personal touch. It hasn’t been easy, yet here we are. Gathering, worshipping, learning…being the Church. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of a simple truth. The Church is not a building, it is the body of Christ. It isn’t built with brick and mortar, but with faith…and hope. In the midst of uncertainty, our calling remains the same. To share the truth of the Gospel with a world God loves. Throughout history The Church has prospered in difficult times. And today is no different. We are still the church…We’re just doing things a bit differently.

This has been a long year. A year of uncertainty, struggle’ pain. We’ve watched a virus take countless lives. People we knew. People we loved. Jobs have been lost, businesses have shut down and Churches have been forced to close their doors. We’ve witnessed division and violence. And we’ve felt the sting of racism…the deep heartache of hate. There have been times where it’s been difficult to see the hand of God. But even in the darkest of moments, He has been there. Faithful, present, and powerful. As a new year begins, we stand on a simple truth…Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings as eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. We don’t know what this new year will hold, but we know it is held by a God whose mercies are new every morning. This is where we place our trust. This is the truth on which we stand. This is our hope…for the New Year.

Grace in a manger, mercy in flesh. Our Redeemer, our Deliverer, our Messiah. Here to pay for our sin, to give us life and lead us home. Our Savior is here!

Have you looked around lately? The division, the brokenness, the hate. After a while, it all begins to take a toll. We start to look at people differently. Servanthood gives way to skepticism, faith transforms into fear and love begins to languish under the weight of uncertainty. It’s in moments like this, we are reminded of the lasting meaning of Christmas. A Savior, given to mend our brokenness and make whole our divisions. God’s love on full display, bringing light to the darkness, giving hope to the hopeless. This Christmas, in the midst of these difficult times, may we be reminded just how desperately we still need a Savior.

God loved us with an unstoppable love. A love so deep it cost him his Son. Jesus, the Messiah, our Savior. To draw us close to Him, to change our eternity. That night in Bethlehem, love came down. This is the heart of Christmas.
-
We were alone. Consumed by hopelessness. Lost in our brokenness. Longing for a Savior. But God loved us with an unstoppable love. An unending passion and an unbreakable grace. This love cost Him his Son; Jesus. For born this day, in the City of David is a Savior; Christ The Lord. Our Messiah has come…Mercy is here.

Take a moment to honor the brave men and women who have served our great nation, fought for our freedom and defended our liberty.

Thankfulness can be hard to come by. Circumstances, brokenness, frustration all get in the way. It can be difficult to see God through the fog. You want to believe God is in control, but you look around and see…chaos. How do you give thanks in such a moment? When we’re in our darkest moment, God promises to never leave us or forsake us. When our faith is shaken to its core, our God remains faithful. The World will ebb and flow, but if we run with endurance the race set before us…If we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…We will find Thanksgiving.

His body was broken for you. His blood, poured for you. His life was given for you. Today we remember the sacrifice of our Savior. This is Communion.

These are challenging times. The division and frustration are palpable. The balance is constantly shifting. The lines, consistently blurred. Truths, half-truths, lies, mixed messages, confusing headlines…all in the middle of a Nation whose back has been broken. Finding God in the midst of this moment is difficult. As the election draws closer, countless voices will try to sway you one way or the other. Yet your responsibility is simple. Pray earnestly, seek God passionately, listen carefully, and vote how He leads you. God’s is sovereign, He always has been. He is faithful and always will be. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens outside of His providence. This is where we find peace in this moment.
-
Worship is about humility. It’s recognizing who we are in light of who God is. It’s about approaching His throne and laying our crowns at His feet. Surrendering our all in a passionate pursuit of His will, so in all things, He may be glorified.
-
Sometimes it’s moments of brokenness which create the greatest transformations. Times where fear gives birth to faith, pain leads to healing and chaos dissolves into peace. It’s in these times, we often see God more clearly. For in our deepest turmoil, He remains faithful. When our spirit is crushed, He remains strong. When the moment is too heavy’ He carries the burden. As gold is refined by fire, we too, are often refined by struggle. It’s part of growing, changing, becoming. Lately, the journey has been difficult. Our breath has been labored, our step uneasy. But, we stand in faith knowing who is leading us through this desert. The God of Peace, the God of Hope, the God of Restoration.

Today, no matter where you are, no matter your circumstances, whether you’re gathering together or watching online, today, is the time to worship. Today is the time to give glory to our Savior. For God is worthy of our praise!

By the word of The Lord the Heavens were made. Their starry host by the breath of His mouth. Let all the people of the World revere Him, for the plans of The Lord stand firm forever. We wait in hope for The Lord, our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, as we trust his holy name. May His unfailing love be with us as we put our hope in Him. From Psalm 33.
