With these lessons in mind, we move forward in our sermon series to discover the truth that life in Christ leads us to obedience to Him.

Jesus is the reason
Bible Text: Luke 2: 6-7 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Christmas Traditions | Many will say the trendy phrase “Jesus is the reason for the season”, and yet for so many still, there is a major disconnect between our life on Sunday mornings and Friday night.

Family Traditions
Bible Text: Luke 8:21 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Christmas Traditions | We are taking a look at the biblical precedent for many of our American Christmas traditions.

Heart Like Gods
Bible Text: Luke 4:42-44, Matthew 24:14, Mark 1:35 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: What We Are All About | As we grow more mature in our relationship with Christ, our heart will long for the things God’s heart longs for more and more.
