Worthy of It All: Worthy of Our Obedience

Text: Matthew 1:16-25

Most people will spend much time this season trying to find the perfect gift for someone they love. We pray that you will especially consider all that God has done for you, and what you can give as an act of worship to Him. Each person connected to Christ’s birth gave something in response to the Lord, and we should be willing to give the same. There is no single gift sufficient to describe the gratitude we should have for all that He has given us, but as we study, we will repeatedly find that “He is worthy of it all.” In this message, we discover how God interrupted Joseph’s plans to invite him to partner with God in His plan to bring salvation to the world. His response and gift to the Lord was simple, but profound – he simply obeyed. We invite you to listen today to consider how you, too, can give complete obedience to the Lord.

Worthy of It All: Worthy of Our Surrender

Text: Luke 1:26-38, 46-50

Christmas has become synonymous with gift-giving for many reasons. Regardless of its origins, this is quite fitting because we should ultimately be celebrating the fact that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” It is through faith in Jesus that we receive eternal life, the riches of Heaven, fellowship with the saints, and all the heavenly gifts of God. Truly, God has given us so much, but the question we must now answer is this: “What will I give Him?” What is it that you will give to the Lord in response to His generosity towards you? From Luke 1, we discover what Mary gave to the Lord in response to His work in her life, and we invite you to listen to this message today to consider how you can give the same.

So Much More: God's People Are Rejoicing!

Text: Nehemiah 12:27-43

As we have seen throughout our “So Much More” series in the book of Nehemiah, God has done an incredible work in helping the people rebuild the wall of Jerusalem in just 52 days, but also doing a work in the lives of the people - restoring their commitment to following His ways. After all that is accomplished, the people rejoiced by throwing a huge praise party as they dedicated the wall of Jerusalem. In this message, Pastor Scott takes a look at three specific actions the people of Israel took in their worship celebration that can apply to us today as we gather to worship the Lord.

So Much More: God Is Waiting

Text: Nehemiah 9:38-10:39

The entire book of Nehemiah has been leading us up to this glorious moment in chapter 10. God hadn’t been doing all this work to point them to a leader, a place, or even a great project. Every step of the way, God had been orchestrating situations and circumstances to draw the people to Himself, and we see the same in our own lives today. Wherever you are and whatever your situation, God loves you and He is waiting for you to turn completely to Him. We invite you to listen to this message today and consider your next step.
