In week two of COAL, Pastor Chris explores the intentional and intimate nature of God's gift of Christmas through Luke 2:1-11. The message emphasizes that Christmas was carefully designed by God with humanity in mind, fulfilling prophecies and demonstrating His personal love for each individual. He also reminds us of the importance of maintaining focus on God and exercising faith, while being willing to make necessary adjustments in our lives to fully experience God's planned blessings.

COAL | Week Three

December 15, 2024 • Chris Dixon • Matthew 1

In week three of "C.O.A.L.", Pastor Chris explores the concept of faith through the lens of the Christmas story, emphasizing that faith is not just passive belief but active trust in God's promises. He also outlines four key aspects of faith: believing without seeing, obeying without full understanding, giving sacrificially, and praising God before receiving answers. He leaves us with the fact that true faith requires trust in God's character and willingness to act on His promises despite uncertainty.

COAL | Week One

December 1, 2024 • Chris Dixon • Isaiah 9:6

In the kick off of our new series, COAL (Christmas On Another Level) Pastor Chris talks to us about the meaning behind the names of God as revealed in Isaiah 9:6, demonstrating how each name reflects a different aspect of His character and relationship with humanity. The names - Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace - reveal God's extraordinary nature, His guidance, His unlimited power, His eternal perspective, and His ability to bring peace to our lives. These names are not merely titles but revelations of how God relates to our circumstances and can work in our daily lives.
