December 22, 2024 • Pastor Dan Crespo • Matthew 1:18–23
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the true meaning of salvation and Christ's purpose in coming to Earth. The central theme revolves around Matthew 1:18-23, which recounts the birth of Jesus and His divine mission. We learn that salvation isn't about religion, philosophy, or even our own efforts – it's about a personal relationship with God. Jesus came to 'save His people from their sins,' and this salvation is available to everyone who believes. The message emphasizes that God's love for us is so great that He took on human form, lived among us, and died for our sins. We're challenged to look beyond our preconceptions and truly embrace the simplicity and power of the Gospel. This Christmas, let's reflect on how we can open our hearts to receive God's gift of salvation and allow His transformative love to work in our lives.
God with Us!
December 15, 2024 • Pastor Jason Dennett • John 1:1, John 1:14
As we approach Christmas, we're invited to reflect deeply on the profound mystery of 'God with us.' The Gospel of John beautifully captures this concept, declaring that 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.' This isn't just a historical event, but a transformative truth that should fill us with wonder. We're challenged to look beyond the commercial and cultural aspects of Christmas to its spiritual core - the incarnation of God's Son. The transcription explores how Jesus, as both the Son of God and the Son of Man, bridges the gap between divinity and humanity. It's a reminder that God didn't stay distant, but came near in a form we could understand and relate to. This Christmas, let's marvel at how the infinite became infant, how the Creator became creature, all to rescue and redeem us. As we contemplate this, we're encouraged to deepen our relationship with Christ and share this amazing truth with others who may be questioning who Jesus really is.
