Come to Jesus Moment • Seeds of Greatness — In a world driven by status and achievement, Jesus offers a radically different vision of greatness rooted in humility, service, and a transformed heart. In this message, Pastor Steve takes us back to the Upper Room where the disciples argued about who was greatest, even as Jesus prepared to give His life. Through His shocking act of washing their feet and through the surprising, imperfect people in His genealogy—Abraham, David, Tamar, Rahab, Manasseh, Josiah, Peter, Paul, and more—we see that God’s story has always been written with flawed but willing people. Their stories remind us that God works in us, through us, and often in spite of us as He shapes our lives for His purposes. This message invites you into your own Come to Jesus Moment, remembering that Jesus came to seek and save the lost and that true life is found in His name.

In “Called to Follow,” we look closely at Luke 5:1–11 and the powerful moment when Jesus called Peter to leave everything and follow Him. Pastor Steve shares his own come-to-Jesus story and how an unexpected encounter changed the direction of his life. Through Peter’s journey—from the miraculous catch, to his fears and failures, to his restoration in John 21—we see how Jesus meets us with grace and invites us into a deeper, wholehearted commitment. This message challenges each of us to consider what we might still be holding back and reminds us that when Jesus says, “Follow Me,” it’s a call that transforms everything.

Silent Night wasn’t nearly as quiet as we imagine. On the night Jesus was born, ordinary shepherds were doing what they always did—working, watching, and tending their sheep—when heaven broke into their normal routine. In Luke 2:8–20, God chose common, hardworking people to be the very first witnesses of the Savior’s birth, revealing that His good news is for everyone. As angels filled the sky with glory and proclamation, fear turned into faith, and ordinary men became bold messengers. The shepherds searched for Jesus with urgency, found Him just as they were told, and couldn’t stop telling others what they had seen and heard. This message reminds us that encountering Jesus doesn’t just change our schedule—it changes our lives. Have you found Him? And if you have, is His presence still showing in your life today?
