Micah 5:2 When we scan news headlines, local or worldwide, we are reminded of the sad reality that our world is in turmoil.

God Moments...

Each Christmas I preach on the birth of Jesus Christ. It seems fitting because Christmas is about Him! There is always this temptation or struggle to somehow make this fresh, amazing, powerful. I’m going to leave that in God’s hands today, ( truth is I should leave it there every time .) Today I want…

Micah 5:2 is a famous passage because it predicts that Christ will be born in Bethlehem just as the Gospels record. But the passage has far more blessings then just a prediction. It describes our savior ruling with unprecedented peace and prosperity. It is a rule that will rescue and restore Israel, but will also be a tremendous blessing to the nations.

The steadfast love of God walks with us even when it's too dark to tell.

With the presence of Jesus the insignificant, common, and messy become the placeholder for something wonderful.

What is the greatest gift God has given? As the old saying goes, "When in doubt say Jesus!" Of course, Jesus is the greatest gift God has given sinners. Many of us know that Jesus is the greatest gift because he died to purchase salvation for us. How can this be? Jesus was born as a human. But the Messiah was called "Mighty God, Everlasting Father." How can God die? And how can a human pay an infinite debt all sinners owe a perfect, eternal God--a God whom we all have offended. Come with the Grace United crew as we take a profound look at Immanuel as deity.

I was not raised in McMinnville as many of you know. I was born and raised in a town that was small when I was a child but is growing bigger each year. Every time I go back home, I see evidence of my small hometown. I also see things that are new and remind me more of a big city than I would like to…

HIS NAME IS WONDERFUL 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were…

Confused on your W's? What, where, when, why? and How? When we make our lives available for the Father's use he can turn your Impossible into an It's Possible!

This morning we talked about how Jesus came as the King of the Jews. He came fulfilling prophecy. He came at the right time and in the right place. Yet His arrival in Bethlehem was not a normal arrival. It was both foreordained and a manifestation of divine providence. God had promised that the coming child would be born there and God orchestrated the world to cause it to happen. Join us as we look at the birth of our Lord and Savior in Bethlehem.

Do you know what a completely bizarre time it was for Jesus to be born into the world? Now you might be reacting to that statement and saying that every generation is probably a strange time to be born, and to a degree I wouldn’t argue with that, but I want us all to understand just how crazy a time…
