When the sun rises, we can see things that we haven’t seen before. When Christ the Savior is born, the light of new revelation breaks over the world. When the Son rises, we can clearly see the grace of God, our Redeemer.
Christmas is a holiday that brings back memories. We remember good times from the past. But the memories may not all be good. Sometimes there are Christmas pain and tragedy. We live in a world still affected by sin. Yet the sinfulness of the world cannot rob us of the peace God gives through his Son. He makes us members of his holy family.
“Messiah” means “Christ” or “Anointed One.” The Messiah was expected for a long time. As we reach the midway point of Advent, we ask Christ to rejoice, because God fulfills all his promises in Jesus.
Advent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching King Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, knowing that he will be killed before the end of the week. The King of the universe humbled himself for our salvation.
The Bible shapes everything we say and sing. Our pastor invests time in sermons that are rooted in Scripture, incorporate both law and gospel, and provide applications for everyday life. We invite you to learn more about our church and join us for worship soon.
