Series: The Gifts of Christmas - 2024
Matthew 1:18-25, The Gift of Salvation
Is it possible that God's plans are greater than anything we could imagine, even when they disrupt our own plans? In this message, Pastor JC Cooper explores Matthew 1:18-25, where we witness God’s extraordinary plan to bring Jesus into the world. This divine intervention turned Joseph and Mary’s lives upside down, reminding us that God’s purpose often challenges our expectations, yet always leads to something far more meaningful than we could ever design ourselves.
For Joseph, this meant navigating the weight of uncertainty and risking his reputation to obey God’s call. His choice to trust and step into the unknown ultimately aligned him with an extraordinary purpose. Like Joseph, when we surrender our fears and trust God’s leading, our lives can be transformed into a story of divine grace and purpose that goes beyond our imagination.

- Dec 15, 2024Matthew 1:1-17, The Gift of Grace
Dec 15, 2024Matthew 1:1-17, The Gift of GraceBy: Pastor JC CooperSeries: The Gifts of Christmas - 2024Matthew 1:1-17, The Gift of GraceWhat can an ancient genealogy teach us about God’s extraordinary love for humanity? This week, we continue The Gifts of Christmas series with the message The Gift of Grace, taught by Pastor JC Cooper. In Matthew 1:1-17, the lineage of Jesus Christ reveals more than history—it showcases God’s boundless grace. The stories of Abraham, Rahab, David, and Tamar highlight how God works through broken, sinful people to fulfill His promises. These names remind us that grace is not earned; it is freely given.Furthermore, the genealogy emphasizes God’s unchanging faithfulness. It reassures us that no sin or failure can separate us from His love. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we see the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise of salvation. As we reflect on this truth during the Christmas season, let us embrace the gift of grace that transforms and restores us.

- Dec 8, 2024Genesis 3, The Gift of Hope
Dec 8, 2024Genesis 3, The Gift of HopeBy: Pastor JC CooperSeries: The Gifts of Christmas - 2024Genesis 3, The Gift of HopeThis week, we kick off our Christmas series, The Gifts of Christmas, with the first message titled The Gift of Hope, taught by Pastor JC Cooper. Genesis 3 reveals the first glimmer of God’s redemption plan in response to the fall of Adam and Eve. Despite the deception of Satan, the rebellion of Adam, and the curse of sin and death, God introduces hope—a promise that one day the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent's head. This hope points directly to the coming of Jesus Christ, who was born to rescue us from sin.As Pastor JC teaches from Genesis 3:1–15, we see God’s relentless love in action. He pursues sinners, offers redemption, and sets His rescue plan into motion through the promise of a Savior. This message sheds light on why the birth of Jesus is so much more than a sentimental tradition; it is the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring salvation. The hope of Christmas, rooted in the gospel, gives us confidence that God’s promises are true—He has come, and He will come again.
