The Faithful Son
In this message from Luke's account of the temptation of Jesus, Pastor JR Vassar explains what was at the heart of the temptation for Jesus to turn stones into bread.

The Face of Grace
As we begin the Season of Epiphany, we want to see Jesus as He is and embrace all He is for us. In this message, Pastor JR Vassar shows us from the Prologue of John's Gospel that Jesus is the God-man, fully revealing God the Father to us. Jesus puts a face on God and reveals him to be a God of Grace and Truth. As we come to understand Grace, our lives take on a new shape and our deepest sense of self is transformed.

Good News of a Great Joy
In the Third Sunday of Advent we light the Candle of Joy. Pastor JR Vassar walks us through Luke 2:1-20. In this passage we see that God is moving history to bring about his saving and good purposes for his people. When the Good News of Christ moves from being historical to personal, it brings us great joy and abolishes all fear. Mary and the shepherds serve as an example to the believing community, calling us to wonder, to worship and to witness.

The Magnificat
In the Second Sunday of Advent 2008, Pastor JR Vassar teaches from Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:45-55). In this passage, Elizabeth blesses Mary, and Mary breaks out in a song of praise and thanks to God for his work for her and in her. It is a political and prophetic song with huge claims about Jesus and implications for our lives.
