Messages – Watch and Listen
Can I Get a Witness?
Just as a star witness can decide a court case, followers of Jesus are called to testify to the light he brings to our lives. Our “Illuminate” Christmas series continues today with Pastor Mark’s message, “Can I Get a Witness?” Turning again to John 1, we will examine the powerful testimony of a man named John and hear a challenge for testifying to others about the Light Jesus can bring into their lives.
The Spotless & Infinite Became Dirty & Finite
Today begins our Christmas series Illuminate in which we will delve into the first chapter of John exploring the incarnate Word who came into our world’s darkness to bring us light and life. Pastor Dan guides us today helping us to find a deeper connection with Jesus as we invite his light into every area of our life in his message “The Spotless & Infinite Became Dirty & Finite,” from John 1:1-5.
Fall Concert of Prayer
Today we join our hearts and voices to offer up songs and prayers of thanksgiving. Our Concert of Prayer will follow four “movements”, praising God for spiritual, material, physical, and relational blessings. Prepare your heart to “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise!” (Psalm 100:4).
