“The Lord, the Redeemer of Israel,” calls forth “his Holy One” (Isaiah 49:7), Jesus, the Christ, “from the womb” of His mother (Isaiah 49:1). The incarnate Son of God is revealed as the Savior, not only for Israel but also “as a light for the nations,” whose salvation reaches “to the end of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6).

John came “baptizing with water” (John 1:31) to reveal Jesus as “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29), and who glorifies His God and Father by His atoning sacrifice upon the cross. When Jesus was baptized in the waters of the Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended “from heaven like a dove” and “remained on him” (John 1:32).

By our Baptism, we are anointed by the same Spirit, adopted by God the Father, and “called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:9). Therefore, we “are not lacking in any gift,” but we can trust Him who promises to sustain us to the end, “guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:7–8).

Witnessing for Jesus

  • In the event of weather that makes it unsafe to drive to worship, the Elders will work with Pastor to determine if we need to cancel Sunday worship or other activities. Please tune to KMBC (local ABC affiliate channel 9) for closure notification.

  • We will also update our website and our Facebook page, and you may receive e-mail notification from the church office.

  • If possible, we will post a pre-recorded sermon message from Pastor Dunn on our Facebook page by our usual worship time.
