Matthew 2:1-12, The Gift Of Worship
Matthew 2:1-12, The Gift Of Worship
Since God needs nothing from us, what gift could we possibly offer Him? In the final message of The Gifts of Christmas series, titled The Gift of Worship, Pastor JC Cooper invites us to explore this profound question. Drawing from Matthew 2:1-12, we journey with the wise men, whose sacrificial worship reflects the heart of true devotion. They traveled far, bringing gifts of immense value, not out of obligation, but as an act of heartfelt surrender. Their journey reminds us that worship is more than a moment; it is a lifestyle of giving our best to God. Through their story, we see that true worship calls us to recognize God’s worth and respond in ways that transform our priorities.
Similarly, we are invited to offer ourselves fully to God as an act of worship. Rather than confining worship to Sunday mornings, we must embrace it as a daily response to His goodness, rooted in obedience and gratitude. This includes our time, resources, and the way we live out our faith in every aspect of life. When we give to God from the best of what we have, our worship deepens and our lives are enriched with purpose and joy. Ultimately, this message challenges us to see worship not as a duty, but as a privilege that brings us closer to the heart of God. How is He calling you to worship Him today?

- Dec 22, 2024Matthew 1:18-25, The Gift of Salvation
Matthew 1:18-25, The Gift of SalvationMatthew 1:18-25, The Gift of SalvationIs it possible that God's plans are greater than anything we could imagine, even when they disrupt our own plans? In this message, Pastor JC Cooper explores Matthew 1:18-25, where we witness God’s extraordinary plan to bring Jesus into the world. This divine intervention turned Joseph and Mary’s lives upside down, reminding us that God’s purpose often challenges our expectations, yet always leads to something far more meaningful than we could ever design ourselves.For Joseph, this meant navigating the weight of uncertainty and risking his reputation to obey God’s call. His choice to trust and step into the unknown ultimately aligned him with an extraordinary purpose. Like Joseph, when we surrender our fears and trust God’s leading, our lives can be transformed into a story of divine grace and purpose that goes beyond our imagination.

- Dec 15, 2024Matthew 1:1-17, The Gift of Grace
Matthew 1:1-17, The Gift of GraceMatthew 1:1-17, The Gift of GraceWhat can an ancient genealogy teach us about God’s extraordinary love for humanity? This week, we continue The Gifts of Christmas series with the message The Gift of Grace, taught by Pastor JC Cooper. In Matthew 1:1-17, the lineage of Jesus Christ reveals more than history—it showcases God’s boundless grace. The stories of Abraham, Rahab, David, and Tamar highlight how God works through broken, sinful people to fulfill His promises. These names remind us that grace is not earned; it is freely given.Furthermore, the genealogy emphasizes God’s unchanging faithfulness. It reassures us that no sin or failure can separate us from His love. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we see the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise of salvation. As we reflect on this truth during the Christmas season, let us embrace the gift of grace that transforms and restores us.

- Dec 8, 2024Genesis 3, The Gift of Hope
Genesis 3, The Gift of HopeGenesis 3, The Gift of HopeThis week, we kick off our Christmas series, The Gifts of Christmas, with the first message titled The Gift of Hope, taught by Pastor JC Cooper. Genesis 3 reveals the first glimmer of God’s redemption plan in response to the fall of Adam and Eve. Despite the deception of Satan, the rebellion of Adam, and the curse of sin and death, God introduces hope—a promise that one day the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent's head. This hope points directly to the coming of Jesus Christ, who was born to rescue us from sin.As Pastor JC teaches from Genesis 3:1–15, we see God’s relentless love in action. He pursues sinners, offers redemption, and sets His rescue plan into motion through the promise of a Savior. This message sheds light on why the birth of Jesus is so much more than a sentimental tradition; it is the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring salvation. The hope of Christmas, rooted in the gospel, gives us confidence that God’s promises are true—He has come, and He will come again.
