Casting Call - A Christmas Play

Humility

December 31, 2023 • Pastor Andy Shanks • 1 Peter 5:6–11

Hope, Kindness, Service, Love, and Humility: The Character of Christmas. As we conclude our advent series we will explore the humility of Christ; not only at his birth but throughout his life and death. With 1 Peter 5 as our foundation we will see how Christ embraced humility throughout his life and what that looked like. Looking at Christ’s example will raise some difficult questions we need to personally wrestle with: What does true humility look like? Are we living lives of humility? And IF we are living humbly, what effects will that have on us and those around us?

Love

December 24, 2023 • Pastor Doug Forman • 1 John 4:7–12

Love is the highest Christian ethic. It's at the heart of the Gospel and it's woven into the very fabric of Christmas. But we are not just talking about any kind of love. In fact, we're talking about a foreign kind of love that the world did not know until Love entered the world that first Christmas so long ago. This year, as we celebrate the birth of King Jesus, let us love as He loved so that what seems so rare might just become common as the people of God love others with the love of God that they themselves have received.

Service

December 17, 2023 • Dr. Cary Shaw • Philippians 2:1–11

Service. We all enjoy good service whether at a restaurant, a department store, or the DMV. But do we all enjoy being good servants? The question is this, is service a “Christian thing,” or is it just what people do? This week, in our Advent celebration, we are going to explore service as it relates to our role as Christ followers. Last week, Pastor Doug walked us through a study of biblical kindness. It is appropriate that we follow this week with a lesson on service. Following the example of Christ, service is what we do because we are kind, and we are truly kind when we serve. Join us this week as we answer the why, how, and who questions of service. And the Christmas season is the perfect time to put this all into practice.
