Behold the Lamb - John 1:19-34 (01/18/2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:
In John 1:19-34, John the Baptist denies being the Christ, Elijah, or the prophet and humbly identifies himself as the voice crying in the wilderness, calling people to prepare the way for the Lord.
He proclaims Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, witnesses the Spirit descending on him, and announces that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit—urging listeners to turn from self and fix their hope on Christ.

The Light Shines in Darkness - John 1:1-18 (01/11/2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:

The sermon contrasts light and darkness, shows humanity’s need for the true light, and urges listeners to live according to the light and to share that light with others.

On the Road to Emmaus - Luke 24:13-35 (01/04/2026)

The message shows how Scripture restores hope, rekindles faith, and sends believers back into the world as joyful witnesses. Whether you’re weary, confused, or searching, the sermon invites listeners to encounter Jesus through God’s Word.

The Promise Fulfilled in Bethlehem - Luke 2:1-14 (12/21/2025)

Pastor Nathan Sing:This sermon traces the Bible's story from the fall in Eden to the birth of Jesus, highlighting God's promise to rescue humanity and the coming of the Messiah.
We follow the humble shepherds who receive angelic news that a Savior has been born in Bethlehem — God with us, wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger.
The message calls listeners to faith: Jesus' life, death, and resurrection bring forgiveness and peace, and believers are urged to proclaim this good news.

Gabriel's Visit to Mary - Luke 1:26-38 (12/14/2025)

It highlights Mary’s faith-filled response—faith-seeking understanding followed by humble submission—and invites listeners to trust the unexpected ways God works and to accept his offer of grace through Christ.
