Chris Wall • John 3:16

The Advent miracle of Christmas is deeper than God came to earth. This miracle is wrapped in the revelation that He came with the mission of giving His life out of love for the world. The manger was not the end game; the destruction of sin and death was the goal. From the beginning, Christ demonstrated the greatest love the world has ever known. Love is the message of Christmas, and this transforming love moves His people to love one another in tangible ways.

Chris Wall • Luke 2:10-11

Advent reveals a gift of joy so deep that it cannot be taken by trials. True joy is deeper and stronger than just happiness. Joy comes from God’s PROMISES, His PRESENCE, discovered through the gift of His PEOPLE. Despite the challenging circumstances of life or the certainty of uncertainty, Christ came bringing the gift of JOY to the WORLD. This Christmas season, choose to rejoice because God is near to you. Fear not, because there is good news of GREAT JOY for YOU: A Savior is born, He is Christ the Lord.

Chris Wall • Luke 2:14

The Shepherds were the first to hear the announcement that Christ was born. They were outcasts and undeserving yet were the first to hear how a Savior came for all people. The Christmas season shows us how God is present with us bringing lasting PEACE through thick and thin, highs and lows, good times and bad. When Christ entered the world, He brought a personal and lasting peace to every believer walking them through every circumstance. The Lord’s Supper reminds us that a Savior came to you and His coming helps you every day and secures your eternity forever.

Chris Wall • Luke 1:1-4

The Christmas message is not a “once upon a time in a land ‘far’ ‘far’ away”. The Christmas story is not just speculative legend; it is true. In fact, because the Christmas story is an event in history, it confirms that fellowship with God is possible. Christmas reveals the literal incarnation of God. Incarnation describes the supernatural act of God the Son taking on a human nature. This supernatural event shows us that fellowship with God is possible for you and me. Salvation has really been made available to us. Today, we are beginning the Christmas season by unwrapping the gift of HOPE The gift of Christmas is not just about a baby in a manger—it’s about the transforming hope that changes lives, beginning with people like Luke and continuing in us today.

Chris Wall • Matthew 25:14-30

The physical second coming of Christ is a hard date on the human calendar. God is faithfully preparing His people for this moment by entrusting each of us with resources, opportunities, and abilities. He expects us to use them faithfully for His purposes, not to bury them in fear. His goal in providing for us is not for us to be fully funded, but fully faithful. Faithfulness leads to greater kingdom responsibility which is exactly where we want to be on the day we see Him face to face.

Chris Wall • Ephesians 3:14-21

Our mission as a church is to know God and help people follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere. A key core value to living out this mission involves learning to think generationally. We live today standing on the shoulders of believers who came before us. God brought to us the message of salvation and moves us to intentionally pass on our faith to those who come behind us. A generational mindset fosters spiritual growth helping enabling a believer individually and corporately learn from the past, connect in the present, while preparing for the future.

Chris Wall • Philippians 1:1-11

It is right to understand that every believer is part of something much larger than themselves, the global body of Christ. Yet, it is equally right to see that God has placed each of us right here in this church family where our faith is formed, love is practiced, and lives are transformed. In Philippians 1:1–11, Paul reminds us that the local church is the place where God’s people experience the greatest spiritual growth and the deepest unity. Our church provides the greatest opportunity for your life to make the greatest difference. God’s plan has never been for isolated believers but for a connected body, standing firm like a mighty army, advancing the gospel in our city. When we stay unified in our mission, to Know God and help people follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere, we will certainly live well and enter heaven with no regrets. Today, we will see that the church that lives unified becomes unstoppable for the glory and praise of God.
