The Freeing Power of God’s Mercy

By Advent, Sermons

What difference does God’s mercy make in our lives? Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on how the mercy of God frees us to trust Him, serve Him, and worship Him.

Christmas Comfort for the Weak and Weary

By Advent, Sermons

Why does Luke begin his gospel account of the life of Jesus with the story of an old, unremarkable priest named Zechariah? He is not mentioned anywhere else in Scripture. He is absent from all of our Christmas carols. So, why does Luke’s Christmas story begin with him? Luke begins with him to introduce one of the main themes of his book, which is that Christ has come to bring comfort to the weak and weary. Listen as Pastor Josh teaches about God’s heart for the weak through the life of Zechariah.
