Famous Through You
December 22, 2019 • Joe Coffey
This weekend, we continued our series by learning how shepherds out in a field heard of the birth of Jesus from a multitude of angels. God chose to use shepherds to spread the word of his son’s birth as they went back to their towns and told everyone what they saw. They couldn’t help but tell others of God’s magnificent glory. If like the shepherds, you’ve been radically changed by God, have you told others of the joy you now have? Go out and proclaim his glory! Or maybe this Christmas you’re still looking for that joy. We invite you to be like the shepherds and look to God. Come and celebrate the birth of Jesus with us!
The Most Famous Gift

Join us as we celebrate the birth of Christ our King on Christmas Eve. Christmas is an excellent time to spend time with family, think about the past, and give presents that make our loved ones feel known. But as Christians, we know the most important gift of Christmas is the free gift of Jesus, the one who gave up his heavenly dwelling to live among man and make God known to us. And the best part? It is truly a free gift. Jesus paid the price through his death on a cross, for we could never earn salvation by our own efforts. Jesus has come to make God known to us. And so we celebrate—glory to God in the highest! We are not alone in our weary world; in Jesus we have hope.
The Most Famous Rescue Story
December 1, 2019 • Joe Coffey
Christmas time can easily become cluttered with festive music, movies, and traditions—but what if we also looked at it as a rescue mission? This week Pastor Joe taught us that if you have ever been lost, you have probably asked yourself three things: Does anyone know I am lost? Does anyone care that I am lost? And, will anyone come for me? When we think of Christmas, we can think of Jesus on a rescue mission, coming as God in flesh to rescue each one of us. As you go about your normal Christmas traditions, know that you are never too far gone for Jesus to save you. We follow a God who leaves the ninety-nine to rescue one lost sheep.
