SCRIPTURE = Matthew 1:18-25

SCRIPTURE = Matthew 1:1-17

This is week 1 of our Advent series titled "A Life-Giving Christmas". Pastor Jason breaks down how we as believers are to wait well trusting that God is moving and hearing our prayers even when we don't see it.

Who are you a prisoner of Christ for? Do I serve once in awhile, or is being a servant part of my identity in Christ?

Are you in a season where you feel helpless? Know this: God helps the helpless. He has done it before in miraculous fashion. He will do it again.   Scripture = Ephesians 2:1-10

1) Ask God that you may know him more. 2) Ask God to know the hope you have in Him. 3) Ask God to know the power that is available.   SCRIPTURE = Ephesians 1:15-23, Revelation 21:3-7

This week we kicked off our new sermon series through the book of Ephesians.   MAIN POINTS from Ephesians 1:1-14 =  1) You have been chosen by the Father. 2) You have been forgiven and redeemed by Jesus Christ. 3) You are sealed with the Holy Spirit.    

The Sabbath rest of God in creation is not one of exhaustion, but of completion, satisfaction, and wholeness.   Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.   SCRIPTURE = Genesis 2:2-3, Matthew 11:28-30; 14:13, Mark 1:35; 6:30-31; 6:46, Luke 5:16, John 4:6
