Sunday WorshipJoin us this Sunday at 10 am as we gather for worship and fellowship together as the body of Christ. The Holidays are coming up, giving us another opportunity to reflect on all God has done for us in Christ. In the popular Christmas carol, “O Come All Ye Faithful,” we sing: “Come and behold Him, born the King of Angels, O Come let us adore him . . . Christ, the Lord! We sing this because Jesus wants us to come and behold him. In fact, he said: 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” (Jn 6:40) As we build toward Christmas, we are going to “look on the Son,” to “come and behold him,” and we will do so through the Gospel of Luke. Luke tells the account of Jesus’ birth through the lenses of several individuals. He gives us a glimpse into their stories, showing us how they responded to the news about Jesus, and how their stories were changed as a result. Together, we'll look at each of their stories, and then consider our own. Have we seen Jesus? Has he changed our stories? What if he did? We begin this Sunday in Luke 1:1–4 with a man named Theophilus, and a sermon titled, "That You May Have Certainty." Join us as we worship God together this season.
