This week we get into what the Book of Revelation is more known for...out of this world descriptions, strange creatures, and a scroll with seven seals. As we look at chapters four and five, we enter the very throne room of heaven with the Apostle John. Come see and hear what worship looks like in the presence of our Creator and Redeemer. Is it good to be there? Or, is it terrifying?
This Sunday we dive into Revelation chapters 2 and 3, where Christ gives a message to seven churches in Asia Minor. And while these words are directed to seven specific churches, the messages are relevant for all churches - in every place and in every age. And they are especially relevant to churches in a culture like ours. Let's hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
The last word on Christ is a glorified and risen Savior. He is the Son of Man, given dominion, power, and authority of all things because he was crucified and was raised from the dead. In this he defeated death and the grave. In a world that seems to be overcome by the powers of sin and evil, the eternal Christ stands in the midst of his Church holding power over all the universe. It is in this context John sees his vision and falls dead. Is Christ safe? No, he is most certainly not safe. But he is good.
This Sunday, we begin an eleven week sermon series in the Book of Revelation. Through this series and this study, we want to see Jesus more clearly - to have him "revealed" to a greater extent. We begin this week by seeing that this book is both a revelation from Jesus, as well as a revelation about Jesus. Come join us as we hear from "The Last Word".
This Sunday we conclude our Advent and Christmas series in the Gospel of John by looking at how Jesus is the greatest revelation of who God is. And just as Jesus is fully God and fully man, He is also full of grace and full of truth. Come celebrate our new-born Savior and the New Year together!
The God who created all things has come down to earth to dwell among us. He took on human flesh; his name is Jesus. The fact that God would take on flesh is a wonderful and mysterious thing in of itself, but what is more wonderful, the true glory of Christmas, is the Cross. The Word became flesh to take on sin at the Cross. What a wonderful and mysterious gift we have been given!
On this Third Sunday in Advent, we continue in John, chapter 1, where we hear about the True Light that came into the world. And although the world - and specifically His own people - should have recognized him, they didn't. Instead, they rejected Him. Come hear about the gift that is given to those who do receive Him as the True Light.
On this Second Sunday in Advent, we continue with the next three verses in John chapter 1. And for many who have studied this prologue in John's Gospel, these three verses seem out of place. They seem like they just don't fit into this grand and majestic description of Jesus - the Son of God. Come hear how John the Baptist - and the rest of us - fit into God's amazing plan of salvation.
On this first Sunday in Advent, we begin a new series called "The Word Became Flesh". And in this series we'll be looking at the first fourteen verses of the Gospel of John. This week, we will be introduced to "The Word". And we will see that John is not bringing us a concept or an idea or a set of propositions. Instead, he is introducing us to a Person - an eternally-existent Person. O come let us adore him!
This Sunday, which is the last Sunday of the Church year, is called Christ the King Sunday. As we conclude our fall sermon series, we will be in Psalm 95, where we are invited to sing for joy and bow down and kneel before the great King who is above all gods. Come join us this Sunday as we worship the King.
