Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday’s sermon, “Christmas Boxes” based on Luke 1:26-38:
- Gabriel was sent by God to tell Mary that she had been chosen to bear His son
- Mary was surprised but consented
- When Joseph and Mary got to Bethlehem, there was no room for them with anyone so they had to stay in the stable
- The first “box” was the manger; Jesus was wrapped in cloths and lying in it.
- The second “box” was the gift of the Magi
- The third “box” was the Garden Tomb. It was borrowed, because it wasn’t going to be used for very long.
- The gift is still available today and has your name written on it.
- Won’t you open your heart to Jesus?

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday Morning’s sermon, “I Am the Truth” based on John 14:6 and John 3.
- Truth isn’t dependent upon a situation or circumstance.
- Truth is truth. Just because you decide to call a cow’s tail a “leg” doesn’t make it a leg. It is still a tail.
- Jesus said that He was “the Truth”.
- Jesus explained to Nicodemus what He meant when He said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have ever lasting life.”
- If we understand this truth, it will transform our lives and our eternities!

There is no Sunday evening sermon, as we had a special guest speaker whose presentation we aren’t able to present on the internet due to security concerns. He spoke about his service with the US Army in Iraq and gave his testimony as to how God is working there among our military and among the Iraqis. It was a truly inspirational service.
