The Gift of Love

Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25, John 3:16, Romans 8:38-39, 1 John 4:9-11, Ephesians 3:17-19

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
    and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Matthew 1:18-25 (ESV)

Main Ideas

  1. ACCEPT God’s Love
  2. EXPERIENCE God’s Love
  3. SHARE God’s Love

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 (ESV)

The Gift of Hope

Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 7:14, 9:6; Hebrews 11:1; Luke 1:26-38; Hebrews 6:19; Romans 8:24-25

The people who walked in darkness
    have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
    on them has light shone.

Isaiah 9:2 (ESV)
  1. Hope PAST
  2. Hope PRESENT
  3. Hope FUTURE

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”

35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Luke 1:26-38 (ESV)

Remember to Remember

May 30, 2021 by Brad Murphy

DIGITAL BULLETIN 30 May 2021

Memorial Day 2021

“Ready, Set, Grow! is a new series starting in June and going through Summer. We will study the growth moments in Acts.

In this message, we learn the importance of remembering to remember the sacrifice Jesus made when He gave His life for His friends. In memorial, we remember as often as eat this bread and drink the cup of His suffering.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Remember to Remember

| Mark 8:14-21 | Mark 6:30-44 | Mark 8:1-10 |

14 Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”[b] 16 And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

Breakthrough Power

May 23, 2021 by Brad Murphy

This sermon is part 8 of 8 in the Breakthrough 2021

DIGITAL BULLETIN 23 May 2021

Week 8 Breakthrough

Today is your day for breakthrough.

“Breakthrough” is one of the most powerful words; whatever was strong enough to stop you initially, has been defeated!

Hopelessness, abuse, fear, anxiety, grief, pain… you name it, God offers HIS power to help us breakthrough.

In this message, you will learn how the resurrection of Jesus offers breakthrough power to those who trust and follow him.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
