Unfinished Business Pastor Fred

Even at the young age of twelve, Jesus had a keen awareness of His purpose when He told His parents that He must be about His Father’s business.  Twenty-one years later, after Jesus fully completed His assignment on earth, He passed the baton to His disciples (and to us) when He said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”  In the same way the Father sent Jesus on a mission, Jesus commissions us; and as long as there is still ONE who is far from God, the Father’s business remains unfinished.

The Word Became Flesh Pastor Fred

When “the Word became flesh,” Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy that a virgin would bear a Son and they will call His name Immanuel which means “God with us”. When Jesus took on human flesh, He gave the world a visible expression of the true nature of God the Father.  When Jesus came, grace came because Jesus is the Person of grace.   

A Savior is Born Pastor Fred

When the angel announced that “in the City of David there has been born for you a Savior,” he wasn’t only speaking to the shepherds because the good news of the Savior’s birth was for “all people.”  In today’s teaching, we’ll look at each of the four names that Isaiah says that the Savior will be called; Wonder Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father & Prince of Peace and how they apply to us personally.

Saved to Serve Pastor Fred

If the enemy can’t keep you from being saved, he’ll do his best to keep you from serving.  Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, gives a prophecy about Jesus just months before His birth.  In that prophecy, he says that we are saved to serve, but all too often, many people get saved to be served. Listen to today’s teaching and hear how we are to serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him and all the days of our life.

Remembering what God has done Pastor Fred

King David had first-hand experience with difficult times, but he didn’t allow his situations to control his life. In tough times, he would remind himself of God’s benefits; that God forgives all sin and heals all disease; that God redeemed his life, crowned him with love and mercy and satisfied him with good things. There is great value in remembering who God is and what He has done because He doesn’t change and He doesn’t play favorites. If He did it before, He’ll do it again and if He did it for someone else, He’ll do it for you!
