Following His Baptism, Jesus is “led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil” (Matthew 4:1). As He takes upon Himself the curse of our sin and sets Himself against our enemy, He trusts His Father’s voice and waits upon His Father’s hand for all things. The devil questions His sonship, but the beloved and well-pleasing Son remains faithful and lives “by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

Jesus patiently suffers hunger in His mortal flesh and returns to the dust whence man was taken, and by His pain He brings forth food for all the children of men (Genesis 3:18–19). By the sweat of His brow, we eat the fruit of His cross, even as our nakedness is covered by His righteousness.

Although all people live in bondage to death through the trespass of the first man, Adam, all the more “have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many” (Romans 5:15). His righteous obedience “leads to justification and life for all men” (Romans 5:18).

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.
