Pastor Josh Gremminger delivers our 3 pm Christmas Eve sermon.
Christmas Eve Sermon | 11pm Service
The Nativity of our Lord I Isaiah 52:7-10 & John 1:1-14
In this Christmas Day message, Pastor David Buegler teaches on Isaiah’s prophecy about the coming Messiah and the fulfillment in John’s Gospel. God became man to redeem us from the fall. The profundity of God taking on flesh, living in our midst, and atoning for our sins is unmeasurable. The fact that He rose from the dead is more wonderful than we can express.
“Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” | Advent
In the fourth and final week of our “Songs of Salvation” series, Pastor Smith reflects upon one of the greatest Christmas songs (and his own personal favorite), “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Pastor leads us to reflect upon this question– “What would make even the angels sing the praises of God?” We learn that the angels are also amazed and overjoyed to see God fulfilling His plan for the salvation of the world, as in the incarnation God becomes man to set us free from our sins…and this makes the angels sing “Glory to God in the highest!”
Songs of Salvation | Joy to the World
Joy to the World is a song about the coming of Christ. It is a joyful celebration of what He has done and is doing to redeem us. This song is about the promise and hope of our Savior’s coming. Pastor Buegler's sermon on the 3rd Sunday of Advent focuses our attention on the Joy of Christ’s atoning work!
Songs of Salvation | Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
In week 2 of our “Songs of Salvation” series, Pastor Smith reflects upon the powerful Advent song “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus.” We take a journey through the history of God’s people as they have waited for God to redeem and restore His broken world. We learn about God’s promises kept in the first coming of Jesus…and we continue to wait in hopeful expectation of Jesus’s second coming.
Songs of Salvation | O Come, O Come Emmanuel" | Isaiah 11:1-11; Matthew 1:18-25 | Advent
Our beloved Christmas songs have deep scriptural connections and are filled with rich theology. As we reflect on “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” we see the hope for God’s people who waited for their Messiah, as well as our hope as we wait for the second coming of Jesus. This advent sermon is based upon Isaiah 11:1-11 and Matthew 1:18-25.
