    In the final week of our Advent series "More Than You Can Imagine", Pastor Nick digs into Isaiah 61 to discover how we can have ultimate Joy in Christ's righteousness.
    Interestingly, this is the same passage that Jesus preached from in his first and only sermon at his hometown synagogue. It resulted in them trying to kill Jesus! Fortunately, no one attempted Pastor Nick's death!

    In his sermon, Pastor Nick reflects on Deuteronomy 18, where Moses speaks of a future prophet who will arise among the Israelites. He delves into Moses' role as a mediator between God and His people, emphasizing the need for discernment in recognizing God’s voice amidst the noise of the world. Drawing from his own experiences, Pastor Nick encourages the congregation to actively seek God’s leading in their lives through practical acts of generosity, such as setting aside a small amount of money to bless those in need, thereby tuning their spiritual ears to God's guidance. Pastor Nick also highlights the importance of understanding how God has continuously raised leaders, including prophets, evangelists, and teachers throughout history. He points to Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of Moses’ prophecy, explaining that Jesus not only redeems humanity from sin but also equips the church with various gifts to advance His mission. By urging his congregation to embrace their roles within the body of Christ, Pastor Nick inspires them to be active participants in their faith journeys and to follow the calling God has placed upon each of their lives.

    Sermon from Psalm 2
    In his sermon, Nick explores the contrasting expectations that the Israelites had about the Messiah and the reality of Jesus' arrival and ministry. He emphasizes how, despite their hopes for a powerful and conventional king, Jesus came with a different purpose—bringing a radical message of love, salvation, and the promise of the Holy Spirit. Nick points out how God’s plans often exceed human imagination, reminding the congregation that the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise is still to come, culminating in Jesus’ eventual return and the establishment of new heavens and a new earth. Nick also discusses the prophetic voice in Scripture, particularly in the Psalms, which not only addressed the immediate concerns of the Israelites but also conveyed timeless truths relevant to today’s world. He highlights themes of justice and caring for the marginalized—widows, orphans, and foreigners—stressing that true worship stems from a heart aligned with God’s values rather than mere ritual. Additionally, he calls on the church to renew its commitment to societal issues, emphasizing the importance of being active in compassionate ministry. Ultimately, Nick challenges the congregation to imagine a future transformed by Christ's love and emboldens them to seek a deeper relationship with God, fostering a community that reflects His justice and grace in every realm of life.
