A Global Methodist Church
Today's message is "What's Next?" The first Sunday after Christmas is often not well attended. People are tired of the hustle and bustle of Christmas and are ready for a break. This is exactly what the devil wants. We are here to continue to spread the Love and gift of Jesus Christ all year and never let up.
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.
Please enjoy our Christmas Eve Service for 2024. Tonight The Savior is born in Bethlehem! Jesus came to save us from or sins and make a way to live with Him forever. If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and accept His Gift of Forgiveness, He is faithful and just to forgive and His Love is Forever and unconditional.
Today’s message is “Good News for All People”. This and every Christmas is a special time to share the love of Jesus Christ with a world that desperately needs it. We are all flawed people and Jesus Christ came to save us from the punishment that we all deserve. He came to love us as God loves us. He reflected God’s love as we are to do the same. These are desperate times and the opportunity is now reflect His love like never before. The time has come to turn off the influence of the world and instead be the influence of Jesus Christ to the world. Let’s roll!
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
Join us for our annual children’s Christmas program. In this hectic season, its easy to forget the true reason for Christmas. Jesus Christ came to earth to be born as a baby, heralded by angels, worshiped by lowly shepherds and kings alike while also being shunned into a barn. Take the time to be still and know that He is God.
Today’s message is “Go Where?” The Christian life is not always easy. We are called to trust God and lean not on our own understanding. Mary and Joseph were called to an impossible task and a hard journey. Mary’s journey got ever more difficult, culminating in an excruciating 90-mile journey on foot while nine months pregnant only to give birth in a dirty nasty stable. Yes, the birth of God on earth began as an unplanned pregnancy to a virgin child who believed and trusted.
All are called to follow Jesus and all are called to trust in Him. All will have trouble along the way. However, all that believe and follow Jesus Christ are indwelled with The Holy Spirit. The Kingdom is here and available to all who believe and accept this gift. Where we go is not nearly as important as who we are going with.
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
Today's message is "Are You Out There" From the time that Isaiah prophesied about the coming of Jesus to when He was born was about 735 years. That is a very long time. Think about how long even 50 years is to you and compare that to waiting for over 700 years for a promise to be fulfilled. God's timing is perfect. He taught us to lean not on our own understanding but rather to rely on His perfect will. The good news is that Jesus did come to earth. He was born as a baby and felt all the things we do. He understands exactly what it is like to be tempted as a human and yet He died for the forgiveness of the sins for all who believe in Him.
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
