Welcome

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope you find this site useful. The main purpose of this site is to post daily devotions, which will include a scripture passage and a brief meditation. I will also be posting the scripture passage and title of my weekly sermon, as well as other thoughts and announcements of what is going on in the life of the church.

Luke 2:21-39: Jesus Presented in the Temple

Simeon's and Anna's words struck me the most as I read this passage. They had both been waiting for the Messiah for a long time, an entire lifetime for both, in fact. And neither of them had ever wavered in their faith, in their belief that the Messiah would someday come to deliver the people from their sins and reveal who God is. We, like Simeon and Anna, are in the habit of waiting, but we wait for something else. In this culture we are always on the lookout for something new, for the next big invention that will be even better than the last; waiting for that thing that will make our lives better. Friends, we don't have to wait for what we truly need. Jesus is here, he is among us, and through him we have all we will ever need. Through Jesus we have salvation, eternal life, and an eternal companion, someone to walk with us as we go through this life. As we begin this New Year, let us remember that we have all we will ever need through Jesus Christ our Lord. We don't have to wait for anything, for we have all we need through him. Praise God.


Pastor Josh
