    Walk Humbly - Luke 1:26-45

    This week, Pastor Byron continues the study in the Gospel of Luke to show us the true character changes that occur when we walk with Christ. Howe the overwhelming majesty and might of God humbles us in our daily walk. Through this, we are humbled by His favor, humbled by His power and humbled by His presence. In showing us the link between this and other passages of God's will and plan being in charge at all times, we are then challenged to live humbly before Him rather than in our own understanding. 1/18/26 Luke 1:26-45 NASB 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was very perplexed at this statement, and was pondering what kind of greeting this was.  30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.  31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.  32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;  33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”  34 But Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”  35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the holy Child will be called the Son of God.  36 And behold, even your relative Elizabeth herself has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called infertile is now in her sixth month.  37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”  38 And Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s bond-servant; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Mary Visits Elizabeth 39 Now at this time Mary set out and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 And she cried out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And how has it happened to me that the mother of my Lord would come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.”

    A People Prepared - Luke 1:5-25

    This week, Pastor Byron continues the study in the Gospel of Luke to show us the true nature of Christ and our understanding of Him. The story of Elizabeth and Zechariah and their encounter with the Angel shows us an example of God preparing people's hearts for His plan. Among the study into this story, Pastor Byron highlights two ways that God works to prepare us: are we a people who are willing to be prepared for repentance AND a people willing to be prepared for faith? 1/11/26 Luke 1:1-4 NASB 5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. 7 And yet they had no child, because Elizabeth was infertile, and they were both advanced in years. 8 Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering. 11 Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. 12 Zechariah was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him. 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall name him John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God. 17 And it is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” 18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How will I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her years.”  19 The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.  20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.” 21 And meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah, and were wondering at his delay in the temple. 22 But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple, and he repeatedly made signs to them, and remained speechless.  23 When the days of his priestly service were concluded, he went back home. 24 Now after these days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant, and she kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying, 25 “This is the way the Lord has dealt with me in the days when He looked with favor upon me, to take away my disgrace among people.”

    Behold the Man - Pastor Adam Wuthnow - Luke 1:1-4

    This week, Pastor Adam Wuthnow uses the Gospel of Luke to show us the true nature of Christ. To illustrate this, he explores the history of Luke himself, how Jesus was God AND man, and Jesus' treatment of the people considered the lowest. In this, he finds a calling to our everyday life. If Jesus was a perfect man, how do we imitate Him as men also? How He treated women, family and lepers gives us a path to understanding how we can grow in Him to be like Him in all things. 1/4/26 Luke 1:1-4 NASB 1 Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us,  2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,  3 it seemed fitting to me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in an orderly sequence, most excellent Theophilus;   4 so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

    Glory to God - Luke 2:8-20

    In the final sermon of 2025, Pastor Byron goes back to the Christmas story to examine what it looks like for God's glory to show up on earth. How does that change us forever, what does it show us a picture of living from God's perspective? As he dives into these topics, it also paints a picture of overcoming our fears and worries to live in the peace of God that shines from His glory. 12/28/25 Luke 2:8-20 NASB 8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;  11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”  13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army of angels praising God and saying, 14“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased.” 15 When the angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem, then, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. 17 When they had seen Him, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.  18 And all who heard it were amazed about the things which were told them by the shepherds.  19 But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.  20 And the shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

    Peace Among Men - Isaiah 35:1-10 and Luke 2:8-20

    As Christmas approaches, Pastor Byron highlights the shepherds story and how, like them, the glory of God overwhelms us and changes our entire life from within! 12/21/25 Matthew 1:18-25 NASB 8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; 11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army of angels praising God and saying, 14“Glory to God in the highest, 15 And on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased.” When the angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem, then, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. 17 When they had seen Him, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.  18 And all who heard it were amazed about the things which were told them by the shepherds.  19 But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.  20 And the shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

    The Genealogy - Matthew 1:18 - 25

    As Christmas approaches, Pastor Byron highlights the genealogy and the importance of prophecy being fulfilled for our salvation! 12/14/25 Matthew 1:18-25 NASB 18 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, since he was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had thought this over, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a Son; and you shall name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 22 Now all this took place so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled: 23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name Him Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.” 24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,  25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he named Him Jesus.

    For Nothing Will be Impossible with God - Luke 1:26-38

    As Christmas approaches, Pastor Byron highlights the story of the Magi and it's significance with how we approach Christ in reverence and humility.  12/07/25 Luke 1:26-38 NASB 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was very perplexed at this statement, and was pondering what kind of greeting this was.  30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.  31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.  32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;  33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”  34 But Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”  35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the holy Child will be called the Son of God.  36 And behold, even your relative Elizabeth herself has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called infertile is now in her sixth month.  37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”  38 And Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s bond-servant; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

    The Visit of the Magi - Matthew 2:1-12

    As Christmas approaches, Pastor Byron highlights the story of the Magi and it's significance with how we approach Christ in reverence and humility.  11/30/25 Matthew 2:1-12 NASB 1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem  2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.  4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.  5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “ ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.  8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” 9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.  10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.  11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.  12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
