He is Worthy

12-31-2017 Pastor Daniel Quinby
Why is Jesus worthy of worship? One reason that Jesus is worthy of worship is for His constant presence in our past, present, and future. Whether we realize it or not, Jesus was near during our past victories and struggles, is here right now, and is already in our future calling us towards His dream for our lives. As we close out 2017 and look towards 2018, we will consider the profound truth that Jesus was there, is here, and will be there.

12-24-2017 Pastor Rich Greene
No matter the joy or the heartache that this season brings to you, you can find peace in knowing that Jesus knows you fully and loves you so much that he was willing to come to earth just to save you. He came in the most humble beginnings, proving that despite his royalty, He is for ALL people.

Hopelessly Waiting

12-17-2017 Pastor Richard Greene
When anticipation turns to waiting and waiting turns to hopelessness it is easy to believe that God's promises are too good to be true. In waiting it is not hard to become hopeless and in the midst of hopelessness, we often miss the Messiah. In this message we learn from Simeon and Anna that a delayed hope can become a glorious encounter with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
