Scripture:   Ephesians 1:3-14    John 1:1-18

The scriptures both reflect on the wonderful thing that God has done in sending Jesus to us. John 1:1-18 tells of how God’s word and light come to us in human form in Jesus, and Ephesians 1:3-14 is a passage of praise to God.

Message:

Guest Speakers:   "Born From Above"

Scripture:   Acts 8:14-17    Luke 2:15-22

This is a special Sunday to celebrate our faith and to reflect on the meaning of baptism. In Luke 2:15-22 we see the story of Jesus’ baptism, which gives the model for the rest of us. In Acts 8:14-17 we learn how this ritual became an important of the life of the early church.

Message:

Rev. Matthew Baugh:   "Different but not Seperate"

Scripture:   1 Corinthians 12:1-12    John 2:1-10

This is the Sunday before the celebration of the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the theme has to do with diversity and equality. We will read the story of Jesus turning water into wine from John 2:1-10, abnd will focus on the gifts of the spirit as described in 1 Corinthians 12:1-12. The Corinthian church was had a lot of divisions, and many of the members felt they were better than the others. Paul reminds them that diversity isn’t something to put some people over others. We do different jobs well but all are needed, and everyone should be treated equally.

Message:

Rev. Matthew Baugh:   "Love is Not Jealous"

Scripture:   1 Corinthians 13:1-13    Luke 4:14-21

What does it mean to love someone? The beautiful passage in 1 Corinthians 13 says a lot about what love is, and what it isn't. As we study this, we will take a special look at what it means not to be jealous.
