Today's message begins a sermon series on the Book of Romans. In today's message, we introduce the book and its author, and we look at the difference between Christianity and Religion.

Lamentation 3:23 reminds us that God's mercy and compassion is new everyday, that means that each new day is or can be a fresh start for us. At the beginning of a new year our mind often thinks about what we might like to do different in the coming year. God is ready to do a new work in us anytime we will yield ourselves to His will. In our message today we look at how we can have that fresh start in Christ Jesus.

This Sunday, we complete our Advent series on The Gifts of Christmas with this last sermon, The Gift of Jesus. Christmas is all about gift-giving and demonstrating love to those closest to us. That's what God did for us so many years ago. He gave the gift the world needs: He gave His Son, Jesus Christ. But a gift is not a gift if it isn't opened and used in our lives. Watch and listen as we put The Gift of Jesus under the microscope.

Our fourth Advent message is on The Gift of Peace. Jesus did provide peace with God by His death on the cross on our behalf. Unfortunately, the Israelites were looking for a different kind of peace from God. Because of this, they rejected the peace Jesus provided. Sadly, too many today don't understand what Jesus came to do and did. The result is they miss the peace God affords. Watch and listen to see if you are missing the peace Jesus brought to all mankind.

This is the third message in our Advent sermon series. It's titled "The Gift of Joy." In the message, we look at what joy is, the difference between being happy or carefree and joy, and how to appropriate joy in our lives. The scripture passage is Psalms 96:4-13.

In today's message, we continue to look at the gifts we receive from God. Today's sermon looks at the love God has shown us and what we are to do with it. Sermon scripture 1 John 4:11-16

This message is The Gift of Hope delivered Nov. 30, 2025. It is the first sermon of our 2025 Advent sermons. The scripture text is Luke 2:8-14.

In our service on the Sunday before Thanksgiving 2025, we look at the origins of Thanksgiving, when those first Pilgrims landed in America seeking a place where they were free to worship as their consciences dictated. They faced many challenges, losses, and heartaches, yet they never lost their faith in God. They established Thanksgiving as a special day once a year when they would give thanks to God for all His good works. We would do well to follow their example.
