Jesus Revealed: "Mystery UNRAVELED"

January 5, 2025
Lead Pastor Dr. Dan Acker
 
"Today the Magi gaze in deep wonder at what they see: heaven on earth, earth in heaven, man in God, God in man, one whom the whole universe cannot contain now enclosed in a tiny body. As they look, they believe and do not question, as their symbolic gifts bear witness: incense for God, gold for a king, myrrh for one who is to die." -Peter Chrysologus
 
Ephesians 3:1-12
 
1 Peter 4:8-11
 
“All too often we regard stewardship simply as a matter of our giving to God, but this aspect is secondary. Before we can give, we must possess, and before we possess we must receive. Therefore, stewardship is, in the first place, receiving God’s good and bounteous gifts. And once received, those gifts are not to be used solely for our own good. They must also be used for the benefit of others, and ultimately for the glory of God the giver. The steward needs an open hand to receive from God and then an active hand to give to God and to others.” -Murray J. Harris

Advent: "The Coming of PEACE"

December 8, 2024
Associate Pastor Eric Burch
 
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen
 
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you,  
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;  
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, and not dealing in lies,
Or being hated, and not give way to hating, and yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise.
(IF, Rudyard Kipling)
 
Peace comes through surrendering to the world that which belongs to the world, embracing that which belongs to God and his will for us, recognizing that He is in control, and You are NOT!

Peace comes through surrendering to the world that which belongs to the world, embracing that which belongs to God and his will for us, recognizing that He is in control, and You are NOT!

Advent: "The Coming of Hope"

December 1, 2024
Lead Pastor Dr. Dan Acker
 
Luke 21:25-36
 
“Optimism and hope are radically different attitudes. Optimism is the expectation that things—the weather, human relationship, the economy, the political situation, and so on—will get better. Hope is trust that God will fulfill God’s promises to us in a way that leads us to true freedom. The optimist speaks about concrete changes in the future. The person of hope lives in the moment with the knowledge and trust that all of life is in good hands.” -Henri Nouwen
 
“The Lord is coming, always coming. When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize him at any moment of your life. Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord.” -Henri Nouwen
 
1 Corinthians 16: 13-14
 
1 Peter 5:8-9
 
“Look up, you whose gaze is fixed on this earth, who are spellbound by the little events and changes on the face of the earth. Look up to these words, you who have turned away from heaven disappointed. Look up, you whose eyes are heavy with tears and who are heavy and who are crying over the fact that the earth has gracelessly torn us away. Look up, you who, burdened with guilt, cannot lift your eyes. Look up, your redemption is drawing near. something different from what you see daily will happen. Just be aware, be watchful, wait just another short moment. Wait and something quite new will break over you: God will come.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
