Praise First 2025
Rev. Dr. Billy Burch
Main Idea:
When good things happen, we share the news, we laugh, we shout, we sing. That’s how God made us. Like a musical instrument that is made to express a beautiful sound, we are made by God to praise Him and to share what He has done for us, starting with His gift of salvation through Jesus.

Angels
Zach Gendall
Main Idea:
Among the many fascinating elements of the Nativity story, the presence of angels may just top the list. Scattered throughout the Christmas narrative, these strange but divine beings show up demonstrating a practical truth— that God is near, at work, and something big is happening.

Angels
Rev. Dr. Billy Burch
Main Idea:
An angel, Gabriel, had visited the priest Zechariah with a message–Zechariah’s wife would have a baby, a boy who would prepare the way for the Messiah. The same angel then went to Mary, but her reaction was very different from Zechariah’s—Mary believed. When we do the same, when we are faithful even in small things, God will use us in big things.

Relationship Matters
Rev. Dr. Billy Burch
Main Idea:
We are all in relationships. We build relationships daily with each other, with family, spouses, friends, and with God. These relationships provide support in tough times, allow us to love one another deeply, walk in fellowship, and encourage each other to grow.
When we talk about “Theology of Relationships” we are asking, “God, what do you think about this subject?” The topic of relationships is interwoven throughout Scripture.

Re-Thread: Weaving Life & Good News
Rev. Dr. Billy Burch
Main Idea:
There is a common thread of “Re” in the Bible. There is a common thread of “Re” woven into each of our lives as well. God weaves it into our lives by revealing Himself to us, giving us second chances, forgiving our wrongs, and bringing healing into our pain. That thread is the Good News.

Heart to Heart: A tale of two sabbaticals
Rev. Dr. Billy Burch
Main Idea:
God is always present, even when times are tough. There has probably been a time you wondered, “Why is this happening to me?” Last week, Billy described the lessons learned from his recent much-needed sabbatical. This week he recalls the lessons learned in the adversity of an earlier forced “sabbatical” due to a severe illness. In our darkest hours, God has much to teach us about Himself and our need for Him.
