Amazing Grace: God's Unfathomable Gift

God's grace is not just a concept to understand but an experience to live. Drawing on biblical accounts, it highlights how God's grace is active, personal, and transformative, offering forgiveness, love, and adoption into His family despite our shortcomings. The call to actions is to seek a deeper, experiential relationship with God, anchored in His unchanging grace and truth. 

Jesus is God's Gift to the World

This message highlights that Jesus is God's gift to the world, sent to redeem humanity from sin. Through the story of His humble presentation in the temple (Luke 2:22-40), we see that Simeon and Anna, both faithful servants, recognize Jesus as the Messiah and respond with praise. The message encourages us to reflect on the significance of Jesus' birth and salvation, be faithful in seeking God, and respond with gratitude and praise for the incredible gift of Jesus. 

Jesus is Why We Celebrate

The sermon emphasizes that Jesus is the reason for our celebration, focusing on the fulfillment of God's promises, as shown in the birth of Christ. It draws parallels between David's reflections in Psalm 89 and the hope found in Luke 2, urging us to pause, reflect, and praise God, even in difficult circumstances. Through Jesus, we find restoration, Hope, and Joy which are not based on our circumstances but on God's unchanging love and faithfulness. 

God Gives Us What's Best

We Can Trust God's Timing

The message reflects on Zechariah and Elizabeth's story in Luke 1:5-25; showing how God answers prayers in His perfect timing, blessing them with John the Baptist as part of His greater plan. It reminds us that God hears prayers, fulfills promises, and brings joy, urging us to trust His timing, live holy lives, and prepare others for Jesus' return. Christmas is a testament to God's love and faithfulness. 

God Sent Jesus For a Reason

Christmas is the perfect time to share the Gospel, as it celebrates the hope and redemption brought by Jesus. It explains how Jesus, the eternal Word and light of the world, came to reveal God's love, fix humanity's brokenness, and offer salvation through His life, death, and resurrection. The message encourages believers to reflect this love by sharing the truth about Jesus with others, pointing them to the hope and restoration He provides. 

Preparations: Seeing Jesus

Today's message explores the story of a blind man healed by Jesus, emphasizing themes of faith, persistence, and God's power. The blind man's recognition of Jesus as the "Son of David" and his relentless cries for healing demonstrates his deep faith, which Jesus honors by restoring his sight. This miracle not only transforms the man's life physically, socially, and spiritually but also glorifies God, inspiring others to praise Him. The sermon encourages believers to cry out to God persistently, trust in His power, and live as testimonies as of His goodness, so their lives may inspire others to seek and glorify God. 

Preparations: The Cost Of Following Jesus

Preparations: Faith and Reliance on Jesus for Redemption

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching in Luke 18, where he contracts the Pharisee and the tax collector to show that true righteousness comes from humanity and reliance on God's mercy, not self-righteous actions. Through the tax collector's example, we learn that recognizing our need for God's grace, rather than comparing ourselves to others or trusting in our own moral efforts, is the way to be justified before God. Ultimately, Jesus calls us to approach God with childlike humility and depend solely on His mercy, as only through Jesus' sacrifice are we redeemed and made righteous. 

Preparatins: Remaining Faithful

In this sermon, Jesus teaches the importance of consistent, tenacious prayer, using the parable of the widow and unjust judge to show how persistence n prayer prevents us from losing hope. He emphasizes that abiding in God and aligning our desires with His leads us to produce spiritual fruit that blesses others, reflecting God's goodness and love. Finally, Jesus reassures us that God's timing is perfect, as He delays His return to allow more people to know Him, urging us to faithfully pray, share the gospel, and await the fullness of  God's justice.
