Names matter! Based on information gathered from the Social Security Administration, the “Top Baby Names for 2023” were: For Boys             For Girls 1. Liam                   Olivia 2. Noah                 Emma 3. Oliver               Charlotte Because names matter, I actually work hard at trying to remember names. I wish I were better at it. It is something for which I regularly ask GOD's help. While names in our culture sometimes have some importance attached to them, names in the culture into which JESUS came were of utmost importance! In the Bible, there are many passages of scripture giving us many names for JESUS. He has to have so many names to communicate the many beautiful truths about the manifold nature of his incredible Character. I believe that the scripture verse we will look at for the next four weeks is the single most important Old Testament verse about the names of JESUS. I'm praying you'll make plans now to invite someone to join you for the next four weeks of our Christmas Sermon Series, that I've entitled “NO OTHER NAME”. In this first message,  we'll explore why the Bible tells us that JESUS is our “Wonderful Counselor” and discover the incredible, personal implications that name of HIS, has for your life. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Pastor Joe Still

What does peace mean?  Is it a feeling when everything is calm and quiet?  Is it a ceasefire between two enemies?  As we continue our Christmas Sermon Series "Unto Us a Child is Born," we look at the last title used for the coming Messiah in Isaiah 9:6 which is "Prince of Peace."  We need peace in our lives and peace in this world, but we must truly understand what peace is and be sure that we are not settling for or seeking a false peace.  Then, we can fully trust Christ as our Prince of Peace.

In our sermon series around the themes of Advent leading up to Christmas, we explore absolute love this week. God is always faithful and always fulfills His promises. God's love deeply knows all of each of us, from the beginning to the end, and He constantly provides His life-giving power to us. Because of His love, He richly extends His eternal mercy to us and will reward a humble heart. Because He fulfills every promise, we can trust Him with everything in life. Just like Mary did in scripture when she was told about the birth of her son being the Messiah, we should glorify the lord and rejoice in our soul because of God's saving love. Is your faith at a point to where nothing matters more than answering the call of God? Have you set out to glorify yourself or is your soul magnifying the Lord and His saving love? Are you truly believing and placing your faith in the promises of God? If you've got questions or need prayer, we'd love to connect with you, answer any questions you have, and take time to pray with you. Just reach out today!

We begin the Christmas season with a sermon series diving into the aspects of the advent – hope, joy, love, and peace. This week as we look at the source of our true hope, we see that it comes from a God who has come to earth to be among us. Hope is the expectation of future blessings and the confidence that the best is yet to come. As Christ followers, we can have true hope because Jesus removes our past, reshapes our present, and refocuses our future. Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has come to His people and redeemed them. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant Daved, salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. That's what brings us hope this Christmas – Jesus. If you've got questions about Jesus or want to know more about placing your hope in the finished work of Christ as you call Him savior, then reach out today.

Be Amazed That Jesus Identified With Us A. Jesus was in the form of God. He is exactly, and equally and eternally God. B. Though He was a king, He took the form of a slave. Jesus was not a clone. He was not God in disguise. He was not just a replica of a human being. He was a real flesh and blood man just like you and me. 2. Be Appreciative That Jesus Was Crucified For Us Jesus didn't die out of obligation; He died out of obedience. The cradle without the cross is incomplete. The cross without the cradle is ineffective. 3. Be Mindful That Jesus Is Magnified Over Us

We Can Relate To The Humanity Of Jesus He was a child He was born He was given by a Heavenly Father, but He was born to an earthly mother. We Should Rejoice In The Divinity Of Jesus Heads is a baby was born in Bethlehem who was just like us. The tail side is that baby was God who was not just like us. We Must Respond To The Authority Of Jesus He won't need a legislative branch because He is the law giver. He won't need a judicial branch, because He is the judge. He won't need an executive branch, because He is the King
