A Horn of Salvation
Pastor Hamilton
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.” Luke 1:68-69
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
Pastor Hamilton
How and why Jesus came is to impact our values, our judgment, our thinking. The humiliation of the incarnation used by Paul to help believers see the importance of servant-like conduct.
The Indescribable Gift
Pastor Hamilton
God’s gift to the world—His only Son, Jesus Christ—is an indescribable gift because it was a personal and sacrificial gift, an undeserved gift of grace, a gift that had eternal impact, and a gift that keeps on giving. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians is that they would come to realize the […]
Nailing It Down
