This message explores the majesty of a Savior who, through His sacrifice, holds the scroll of our lives in His nail-scarred hands. We see how His reign offers hope in the face of life's uncertainties, calling every creature in heaven and on earth to worship and empowering us to live with renewed courage under the authority of our worthy King.
In Revelation 4:1-11, where John sees God seated in glory, ruling over all creation. Lightning flashes, thunder roars, and heavenly beings cry out, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” (v. 8). The elders fall before Him, laying down their crowns, declaring, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power” (v. 11). This passage reminds us that worship is the heartbeat of heaven. When we recognize God’s sovereignty, our response should be surrender and praise. As we gather, let’s open our eyes to see the One who reigns forever!
In Revelation 2:18 – 3:22 Jesus speaks to the churches in Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, & Laodicea. We'll continue to see Jesus walking among His churches, challenging us where we sin & compromise, waking us up, opening our eyes to our need for Him, as well as encouraging us as our strength weakens. In every situation he gives us a fresh revelation of himself & calls us back to Him.
In Revelation 2:1-17, Jesus speaks to the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum. As we explore this passage, we'll see Jesus as the One who walks among His churches, knowing our struggles and drawing us to faithfulness. His promises remind us that every challenge we face is an opportunity to overcome through His strength, and His reward is greater than anything this world can offer.
This Christmas season, we’re exploring the opening lines of Matthew’s Gospel, where he begins the story of Jesus with a genealogy—a list of names that might seem tedious at first glance but holds profound meaning. Matthew carefully traces Jesus’ lineage back to Abraham and David, reminding us that Jesus fulfills God’s promises of an eternal kingdom and a blessing for all nations. Yet, what’s truly remarkable is the inclusion of five women in this genealogy: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Each of these women had unique stories marked by being disregarded, entrapped, destitute, victimized, or simply humble. Why does God highlight these individuals? To show us that His family is not built on earthly status, power, or perfection but on His grace. Through this genealogy, we see that God intentionally chooses the broken, the overlooked, and the ordinary to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. This message of hope is for all of us. No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve faced, God invites you into His family through Jesus Christ, who came to redeem and restore. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of God’s grace revealed in the most unexpected places.
