TEACHING
The Cast of Christmas: This Advent season, we examine four key characters in the Christmas story: The magi, king Herod, Simeon, and Joseph. Each person played a role in God’s story of Salvation. The question is: Am I playing my role in God’s continuing story? Series begins next Sunday, December 1.
Dec. 22: Joseph: I’ll Take The Risk Joseph sacrificed his reputation and risked it all to stand with Mary—and with God. Loving others like Jesus might mean giving up comfort, pride, or approval. The question is: Will you risk it all for what really matters? Note: We will end the sermon and series with our traditional Christmas candle lighting.
Join us in-Person at 9:00am (acapella) or at 11:15am (instrumental) or Livestream at YouTube.com/Clearcreekcoc or clearcreek.online.church.
