Core Values 2025: Service and Christ the King

We make our last stop on “The Journey” to Jerusalem. As Jesus was leaving Jericho, we see Jesus’ commitment to drawing people close to him and a man’s faith who was stronger than all the people following Jesus in that moment.

We dig into the story of Daniel the Old Testament prophet. Time and time again we discover how to handle crisis and obstacles without drawing a line in the sand every time something doesn’t go our way.

We begin this message with a secular Christmas song sung by Bruce Ewing and accompanied by Philip Fortenberry. This unconventional song for Christmas worship reflects the unconventional year we have all experienced.

We take a look at the second fruit of the Holy Spirit today through the lens of the wisdom of Proverbs. We find something quite surprising… joy is found in justice.
