Do you ever feel called to something bigger but fear keeps holding you back? This message is for you. In this sermon, Pastor Mike Brake shares the story of Mary in Luke 1 and the moment she heard the words “fear not.” Her response is the model for all of us. God often calls us into something risky, uncomfortable, and beyond our ability. The question is whether we will move forward anyway. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your future, this message will give you hope and courage to take your next step with God. Watch “Do It Afraid” and discover how to: • Break out of the comfort zone • Trust God when the path is unclear • Follow your calling even when fear shows up • Return to your roots and rediscover your purpose • Believe that God is with you right now New here?

The Christmas season is typically associated with lights, gifts, and the baby Jesus. Those things have their place, but Jesus wasn't born in Bethlehem so we could have a day off of work or a reason to buy each other gifts. He came to save us. Today's message looks at the root cause of Christmas - the fall of mankind into sin.

This message shows that the real threat to Christmas isn’t the Grinch or a snowstorm, but the doubts that can cloud our hope. In Luke 1:26–38, God meets Mary—and all the characters in the Christmas story—in their questions, fears, and uncertainties, proving He is not threatened by honest doubt. Christmas begins with God’s initiative, grows through our sincere questions, and rests on His power and promises, for “nothing is impossible with God.” The virgin birth, fulfilled prophecy, and the reliability of the Gospels remind us that Christmas is not a myth but miraculous truth. Like Mary, we’re invited to respond with humble trust: “May it be done to me according to Your word.” That is how we truly save Christmas from doubt.

We tend to read the Bible in a worldview boxed by the literal, material, and rational. Imagination wants to open a window to a vision of who we are called to be. This sermon explores the reality of the spiritual realm and what it means for us.

How many times have you heard a story and simply thought, this just isn’t possible? How did you eventually understand that it was not only possible, but that it truly happened? You listened to the facts. Join us this morning as we investigate Jesus’ journey to Bethlehem and look to the prophets who foretold of His coming. “For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37)

On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we light the Candle of Love, a reminder of God’s immeasurable love revealed in the birth of Jesus. As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, let this candle inspire us to reflect on His great love with others. “This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.” 1 John 4:9 May the joy of the angels, the wonder of the shepherds, and the peace of the Christ child fill your hearts this Christmas. May His love guide you, His hope sustain you, and His light shine brightly in your life throughout the season and the year to come. Wishing you and your family a blessed and joyful Christmas!

God’s salvation is a miracle of grace, and no matter how strange it sounds, we accept it by faith and trust Him with our lives

We live with a lot of fear. And we're afraid - to do things we know we are called to do or created to do - so we shrink back. We defer. We wait. But what would it look like if we KNEW we were loved - if we were NOT afraid? In this message, Brian Hull revisits the encounter Mary had with an angel - and how it put her on a path to trust and risk and NOT be afraid.

Joy of Every Longing Heart: Vulnerability and Wholeness, Pastor Jeff McVay, 2 Samuel 7, Psalm 89:1-4. 19-26, Luke 1:26-38

This fourth Sunday of Advent is the last Sunday morning before we celebrate the birth of our Savior on December 25th. The brokenness of God’s fallen creation at last sees hope in the miraculous incarnation of God’s Son. Today’s text will give us a glimpse into the mysterious yet revealed truth of the Incarnation of God himself as he steps into humanity – resulting in the birth of the Son of God who is holy. Let’s read today’s passage [Luke 1:26-38] … the divine message of God through the angel Gabriel to Mary the Virgin mother of our Lord.
