O Holy Night

This week Pastor Joe uses the Christmas carol "O Holy Night" to remind us of our own personal worthiness. Flawed as we may be, true self-worth comes from an understanding of God's unconditional love. Because of Jesus, we can overcome shame and recognize our value, uniquely created in God's image.

Go Tell It On The Mountain

December 8, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin • Luke 2

This week Pastor Brent shares a unique message based on the classic Christmas spiritual, "Go Tell It On the Mountain." Brent uses an imaginative, fictional first-person account to explore how the shepherds would have found the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. Just as the shepherds felt compelled to "go tell," we, too, have a responsibility to share the good news of Jesus' birth to those around us.
