Christmas is Jesus
December 24, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Luke 2:15–20
As we celebrate Christmas with our families and friends, may we be reminded of the old adage: “Jesus is the reason for the season,” because He is! The reason we celebrate and give gifts during the Christmas season is to celebrate the greatest gift of all: Jesus Christ. “For unto us a child is born, a son is given…” That son would, one day, be hung on a Roman cross, the payment and sacrifice to pay our sin debt. Why? Because “The wages of sin is death but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” May we truly celebrate THE GIFT: Jesus, this season.
Angels, Shepherds, and the Birth of Jesus
December 10, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Luke 2:8–14
Can you imagine being one of the shepherds who was tending his sheep when angels showed up in the night sky? Nothing had ever happened like that to them. And the same is true for us. When we encounter God, it’s unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. It’s the divine and eternal touching frail humanity. Join us as we see: “Angels, Shepherds and the Birth of Jesus,”and are challenged to see and experience the presence of God.
Christ the Savior is Born
November 26, 2023 • Tim Miller • Luke 1:68–79
The Word became flesh. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. Does this still amaze you? If we’re not careful, we can lose our sense of the glory and joy of the birth of Jesus as the years go by. Now, we will seek to rediscover the wonder of Christmas in a new series titled Christ the Savior is Born, a journey through the biblical narratives of the birth of Jesus. Get ready to be filled with wonder and amazement once again at the most momentous event in all of history.
Being Thankful
November 19, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Luke 19:11–27
Thanksgiving is upon us. But are we thankful? It’s easy to live life begrudging what we don’t have, versus being thankful for what we do have. Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one returned to offer thanks. Join us as we see why we should be thankful and how we can truly celebrate “Thanksgiving” as we should.
Having a Thankful Heart
November 21, 2021 • D. Kevin Brown • Luke 17:11–19
Are you a thankful person? It’s easy to think that we are, but are we? It’s much easier to complain, isn’t it? Yet, we are to “give thanks” in all seasons of life. Why? Because everything is perfect? Hardly! No, we give thanks because no matter what, God has been good to us and is faithful to us. We’re going to see why out of a group of 10 men who were healed by Jesus, only one came back to offer thanks. We’ll see the blessing of “Having a Thankful Heart.”
