The Glory of God

God’s eternal purpose has always been to display His glory and wisdom to all creation. He chose the church to be a vessel to make this known. In Ephesians 3:10–11, we see that through the church, God’s manifold wisdom is revealed—not only to the world around us but even all the way out to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. Join us as we explore why the church exists in the plan of God. Together, we’ll see that the church is not just a building . . . or a gathering . . . or an event in the week. It is more. We are more. We are a living testament to the greatness and glory of our God.

Luke’s nativity story compares and contrasts Caesar Augustus with Jesus. While Augustus was associated with sovereignty, glory, gospel, salvation, worship, and divinity … Jesus is all the more! Loyalty is what the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.) king deserves. But what does loyalty look like in the nativity story of Luke? This sermon explains what it means to be loyal to Jesus in an anti-Jesus world!

Come and celebrate the birth of our Savior! Join us to sing beloved carols and reflect on the true meaning of the season with an inspiring devotional message from our Senior Pastor, Jonathan Murphy. There will even be a special moment for kids to gather onstage and hear the Christmas Story. Let’s come together on this special evening and rejoice in the hope of Christ’s birth.

Among other things, Luke’s nativity story compares and contrasts Caesar Augustus with Jesus. Augustus was at the height of his power and reign when Jesus is born. He was considered the Savior, the Worshipped One (Augustus), and Lord, as in, a son of God. Luke knows very well how Romans—including Roman Christians like Theophilus—would have heard the declaration that Jesus is the true Savior, Christ (Chosen One), and Lord (son of God). Ultimately, the Greatest of All Time kings is Jesus! So, Theophilus, early Christians, and Christians today can stand firm in the faith and loyal to Jesus in an anti-Jesus world!

A Service of Lessons and Carols Christmas Concert

Rediscover the true wonder of Christmas as our children and students present their annual holiday concert of worship. Through songs and Scriptures, these gifted young musicians will tell the story of salvation, guiding us through the biblical account of humanity’s fall, the promise of a Messiah, and the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Dr. Jonathan Murphy reminds us of the need for a Savior near the 59 minute mark of the concert at 59:23.

Tune in for a beautiful morning of classical Christmas music and beloved carols. Presented by our Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra, this concert of worship will inspire us to praise Christ, our King, and to thank God for sending His only Son to be our Savior. Dr. Jonathan Murphy reminds us of the reason for Christmas near the one hour mark of the concert at 1:01:54.

Christmas is a beautiful time to celebrate the King of kings, who lives and reigns forever. Tune in this Christmas season as we explore the biblical account of Jesus’ birth and see that He alone is the Lord and Savior of the world.

Although they were written about 1,000 years before Jesus’ birth, the Psalms are filled with the Gospel message. Tune in as Pastor Jonathan Murphy begins a new series that will highlight threads of the Gospel woven throughout the Psalms.

What are the benefits of reading the Bible? Over the past three Sundays, Pastor Jonathan Murphy has been guiding us through 10 key reasons to read Scripture, as found in Psalm 19. So far, we’ve seen that God’s Word can return us to God, mature us, delight us, and guide us, and that it is relevant, true, valuable, and a blessing in our lives. Tune in as we explore the final two reasons found in Psalm 19, and be encouraged to keep opening your Bible each day.
