×Text: Genesis 1:26-31 As God’s Image-Bearers, We Represent Him on the Earth (1:26-27) God made us after His image and likeness, distinct from the rest of creation. God made us male and female for His glory. Implication: Our value and identity are tied to bearing the image of God. Therefore, we should seek after Him and bear His image in a way that pleases Him. As God’s Image-Bearers, We Fill and Rule Over the Earth (1:26b, 28-30) God has given us the responsibility of reproducing His image on the earth. God has provided us with sustenance from His creation and given us the responsibility of dominion over His creation. Implication: This blessing and commission God has given us should lead us to delight in Him and depend upon Him. Conclusion: “God saw that it was very good.” (1:31) All that God made was good in His sight, with nothing incomplete or imperfect. All of creation worked in perfect harmony as God had designed.…
Text: Genesis 1:1-25 The Creator of All Things (Genesis 1:1) The eternal triune God (“Elohim”) created everything. God’s glorious attributes are seen in everything He has made (Psalm 19:1-4a; Romans 1:18-20). We are made for His glory and are accountable and dependent upon Him (Romans 11:36; Acts 17:24-28). The Creation of All Things (Genesis 1:2-25) God’s work of creation begins with Him filling the formless void with His glory. God created all things in six literal days by His powerful word, declaring it to be good by His glorious standard. We were made to worship the Creator, not worship the creation (Psalm 95:1-7a; Romans 1:21-23).…
Text: Genesis 1:1 Introduction: Why Study Genesis? It sets the foundation for the rest of the Bible. It gives us the purpose of God for mankind. It describes the origin and effects of sin. It anticipates God’s answer to our problem of sin, a seed coming through the line of Abraham. It describes the origin of the nation of Israel and the Promised Land. It reveals the character of God to us. The Historical Background of Genesis Genesis is a book of beginnings, and the first of the five books of the Pentateuch. Genesis was penned by Moses while the children of Israel were in the wilderness. The Thematic Structure of Genesis Genesis 1-11 sets the foundation in broad terms of how the world was made and the fall of man. (wide angle lens) Genesis 12-50 focuses on the family of Abraham and how God’s promise will be fulfilled to send redemption to His people. (zoom lens) The Creator God of Genesis (Genesis 1:1) Our God is the mighty and everlasting Creator and Sustainer of all things, and we are accountable to Him as His creation. Our response to God should be one of worship and submission, where He is exalted.…

Travis Thompson preaches to us from 1 Samuel 17.
Christmas Eve Service Text: Titus 3:3-7 Who We Were as Sinners (3:3) Because of our sin, we were entrenched in our rebellion against God and enslaved to our desires. Result: We had no hope to save ourselves from eternal death (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 6:20-23). Who We Are in Christ (3:4-7) Because of Christ, we can be saved out of our sin by His mercy, given new life through the Spirit, and justified by His grace. Result: We become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.…
Texts: Exodus 34:5-8; John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:7-12 The Steadfast Love of God Declared in His Name (Exodus 34:5-8) This is the first passage where God declares His character to us. He is full of mercy, grace, faithfulness, and love with forgiveness for sinners. The Stunning Love of God Demonstrated in His Son (John 3:16-17) God’s love came down to us in the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Because of Christ’s condescension in love to us, we can be saved unto eternal life through faith in Christ. The Sacrificial Love of God Displayed in His People (1 John 4:7-12) God’s sacrificial love for us was clearly displayed in the incarnation and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ for our sins. Since God’s love abides in us as believers, we are now compelled and equipped to love others sacrificially.…
Texts: Isaiah 55; Luke 2:8-12; 1 John 1:1-4 The Invitation of Satisfying Joy in Christ (Isaiah 55) God calls us to be satisfied in Him and seek Him alone. God reveals Himself to His people through His Word. God promises to lead His people into His joy and peace. The Gospel of Great Joy in Christ (Luke 2:8-12) The Gospel is the good news of great joy for all people who believe it. The Gospel comes to all people through the Savior, Christ the Lord. The Fullness of Shared Joy in Christ (1 John 1:1-4) The eternal Son of God came to this earth in the incarnation to bring us into fellowship with God. This shared fellowship with Christ and one another leads to fullness of joy.…
Texts: Micah 5:1-5; Ephesians 2:11-22; Philippians 4:6-7 Christ Came to Be Our Peace (Micah 5:1-5) Peace is defined in Scripture as “shalom,” which means wholeness or completeness. Christ’s coming inaugurated a “shalom” that would bring strength to His people and culminate in His eternal reign. Christ Came to Make Peace With God and Man (Ephesians 2:11-22) Christ broke down the wall of hostility between God and man through His atoning work on the cross. Christ’s atoning work brings wholeness and reconciliation to our relationships. Christ Came to Bring Peace Within our Hearts (Philippians 4:6-7) Christ provides us with the peace of God that guards our hearts and minds. Christ is our refuge of peace for all the moments of our lives.…
Texts: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:21-23; Romans 15:8-13 Christ, the Promised Savior (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:21-23) Christ came as the prophesied Messiah who would bring salvation to sinners walking in despair and darkness. Christ came to be our Emmanuel, “God With Us.” Christ, the Hope of the World (Romans 15:8-13) Christ became a servant for the sake of God’s truth and in fulfillment of God’s promises. Christ brings a certain and eternal hope to all who believe in His name, filling them with joy and peace.…
Text: Colossians 4:7-18 Gospel Gratitude for Faithful Service (4:7-11) Paul was grateful for the Gospel’s transformation in the church that prepared them for faithful service. We can be grateful for how the Gospel has transformed us and placed us in ministry together. Gospel Gain From Fruitful Service (4:12-16) Paul was encouraged to see the sacrificial service of others bearing fruit in the church. We can take heart in the power of the Gospel to grow us and empower us to serve Christ faithfully.

We are called to fulfill the ministry God has called us to do by the power of His grace.…

Text: Acts 1:1-11 Jeff Fitzgerald preaches to us about how Christ's last command to His disciples as He ascended into heaven must be our first commitment as we live out our discipleship here on earth.
