    God’s Eternal Gift: Spiritual Blessings in Christ

    As we continue to celebrate Christmas, let us remember the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ.

    This passage in Ephesians reminds us of the depth and beauty of God’s eternal plan for our salvation. The blessings we have in Christ are immeasurable—they span from the moment God chose us before the foundation of the world to the eternal security we have through the Holy Spirit’s seal.

    Christmas is more than a celebration of Jesus’ birth; it is a reminder of why He came.

    He came to bless us with every spiritual blessing, to redeem us through His blood, and to seal us for eternity. These truths are not abstract doctrines; they are personal and life-transforming. In Christ, we are chosen, forgiven, loved, and secure. These blessings are not temporary or material—they are eternal and spiritual, shaping our identity and our destiny.

  • December 15, 2024 Sermon - The Peace and Joy of Christ
    2024/12/13

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    The Peace and Joy of Christ

    Advent is such a special season, isn’t it? It’s a time when we’re supposed to feel that excitement and hope as we look forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus and remembering His promise to come again.

    But let’s be honest—sometimes, that’s not how it feels. Instead of joy and peace, we might feel overwhelmed by stress, weighed down by worry, or even a little sad. Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and this season can amplify those feelings. Maybe it’s the pressure to make everything perfect, the ache of missing someone we love, or just the sheer busyness of it all.

    But here’s the amazing thing about Advent—it’s not about what we do or even how we feel. It’s about Jesus.!

  • December 1, 2024 Sermon - Preparing Your Heart for the Promised King
    2024/11/29

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Preparing Your Heart for the Promised King

    Advent is a season of anticipation—looking back to Christ’s first coming in the manger and looking forward to His triumphant return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

    Today’s message focuses on Luke 19:28-40, the account of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. While this event is often associated with Palm Sunday, it is also a powerful reminder of what Advent calls us to do: prepare for the coming of Christ. In this passage, we’ll discover three key truths about our Savior:

    1. Jesus is the promised King,

    2. Jesus is worthy of our worship.

    3. Jesus challenges our expectations.

    The people of Jerusalem hailed Jesus as King, yet many misunderstood His mission. Today, we’re called to see Him for who He truly is—our humble, sovereign, and victorious Redeemer.

    As we prepare for Christmas, this passage urges us to recognize Jesus’ kingship, worship Him with joyful hearts, and trust Him, even when His plans differ from our own.

  • November 24, 2024 Sermon - Be Ready: Watching For The Return Of The King
    2024/11/22

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Be Ready: Watching For the Return Of The King

    I’m Pastor Warren Swanson, and I’m thrilled to journey with you today through Mark 13:24-37 - a passage that calls us to readiness for the glorious return of Christ. This text is the culmination of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, where He outlines the events leading to the end of the age.

    Last week, we studied Mark 13:1-13, where Jesus warned His disciples about the coming tribulations - wars, persecution, and false prophets. These were not signs of the immediate end but reminders to stay grounded in faith.

    Today, we’ll see the dramatic shift to the moment of His return and our charge to remain alert and faithful.

    We will seek to answer the questions:

    1. What does it mean to watch for Christ?
    2. How do we balance daily life with eternal readiness?

    These questions shape our sermon today.

  • November 17, 2024 - Faithful Endurance In Troubled Times
    2024/11/15

    This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

    Faithful Endurance In Troubled Times

    In Mark 13:1-13, Jesus shares a powerful and sobering message about the trials and tribulations that will come in this world.

    He speaks of earthquakes, wars, persecution, and betrayal — warning His followers to be on guard while encouraging them to stay faithful.

    For us today, these words challenge us to ask: are we preparing our hearts and minds for times of trial? Jesus calls His followers to stay alert, grounded in truth, and to persevere in faith.

    In this message, we’ll explore what it means to be watchful, deepen our spiritual endurance, and respond faithfully, even when life shakes us to our core.

    This passage isn’t just about predicting events; it’s about aligning our lives with God’s kingdom and standing firm when faith is tested. Join us as we explore how Mark 13 calls us to be vigilant, steady, and hopeful, trusting in God's promises.
