Part 1 | Set It Into Motion | Dr. Nate Ruch by Emmanuel Christian Center

On Sunday Pastor Phil Johnson preached an incredible message at Emmanuel Spring Lake Park to close out 2024. “Keep Up the Good Work!” is a powerful reminder that we will grow weary if we give into comparison, if we become cynical, or if we try to carry all weight on our own. If we learn to lean on God’s grace we’ll develop patience and endurance, and we’ll experience the joy of the harvest after the hard work of planting.

On Sunday Pastor Manny Melendez, our Lead Kids Pastor, preached “The Road to Joy.” The message of Christmas is a message of joy to the world! We can have joy in the midst of difficulty and darkness. It doesn’t depend on our circumstances, but rather on encountering God’s greatest gift, Jesus. As we grow in anticipation and hope, joy moves us to action.

On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “Get HIS Peace,” the second message in our series “The Road to Bethlehem.” Life is full of things that can trip us up and trigger us causing worry, anxiety, and taking away our peace. When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce her miraculous pregnancy and Jesus’ birth, she didn’t understand God’s full plan, but she trusted Him. In the same way, we can choose to trust the Lord, His heart and His plan for our lives. As a result, we can experience God’s perfect peace! Each of us can open our heart and humbly make room for God’s peace in our life! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nate’s message.

On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “The Road to Hope,” our first message in the series “The Road to Bethlehem.” As we learn to trust in the Lord, the God of hope, He brings joy and peace into our lives, so we can overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we begin the season of Advent, a journey of expectation leading into Christmas, we are reminded that life is like road that can lead to hope in Jesus. Where is the road we are on today leading us?

On Sunday Pastor Nate preached a message titled “Hit the REFRESH button!” our final week in our “BeCAUSE of Eternity” series. Proverbs 11:25 says “the generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” Thanksgiving is the refresh button for our hearts! When we live with hearts full of gratitude to God and thankfulness for the people in our lives, we discover that the Lord has set aside moments of refreshing for us, regardless of our circumstances.

On Sunday we got to hear from our Pastors at each Emmanuel location. It was so good to hear inspiring and challenging messages from each of them as we continued our series “BeCAUSE of Eternity.” Each of us can live life in such a way that we set in motion a Kingdom legacy. We are inspired by our heroes and guides, and we each have someone that is watching how we live life. We can each craft a “Kingdom Legacy List” with goals regarding our generosity, our marriage, our children and/or grandchildren, and our involvement in the Great Commission. All of us can position our life for significance and Kingdom legacy! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nathan Grams’ message at Emmanuel Spring Lake Park.
