A prophet long ago shared God’s promise that a Savior would be born and one of His titles would be “Prince of Peace.” Years later, despite angry King Herod’s plans to get rid of this new royalty, our Prince of Peace, Jesus, still brings peace to the chaos in our lives. Ages 6+, join us in Family Service next weekend for Christmas Eve services!

This week is our third week of Advent: Joy. The shepherds in our story were outside the city limits, and often seen as not important. But when they heard the good news of Jesus birth from the angels, they were filled will joy that they received this special and very important message!

This week is our second week in our Advent Countdown with the story of the birth of Jesus. The events around Jesus’ birth were not all that easy for Mary and Joseph, who had to travel a long way and couldn’t find a place to stay the night Jesus was to be born. But God had a plan all along, and He would save the world He loved through His son Jesus.

This week we begin our Advent Countdown with the story of Mary and Joseph in Luke, and the prophet Jeremiah. Many prophets, including Jeremiah, foretold of God’s promise to send a Savior to Israel. But God’s plan wasn’t exactly fulfilled how people thought it would be.

This week for Thanksgiving, we recall Jesus healing the ten lepers in Luke Chapter 17 and how only one showed thanks and praised God for his healing. We can and should show gratitude for Jesus's work: paying the consequences of our sins and giving us the opportunity to accept a restored relationship with God.

We read in Isaiah 44 that God told the prophet Isaiah to tell His people that their idols were worthless. The people looked to them for help, but only God could save them from their sin. God alone is worthy of our worship, and we too can turn from our idols and worship Jesus!
