A Gospel Liturgy | Acts 17:22-34

God’s Presence, Our Belief

In Acts 17:22-34 (https://ref.ly/logosref/BibleESV.Ac17.22-34) the apostle Paul proclaimed the true and living God to the people of Athens who worshipped many gods. There are many religions that worship false gods and images of God’s creation rather than God Himself. God’s law, given to Moses and the Israelites, prohibits the making graven images for worship (Deut. 5:8) because God is the creator of all things and He alone is to be worshipped.

This year a GV member paid for David Sawyer to use his amazing talents to draw caricatures for those that attended A Living Nativity.

Our hope is that A Living Nativity allowed you see for the first time or possibly remind you of the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus! Merry Christmas!!!

Pastor Aaron continued preaching through the Advent series, "What Child Is This?" - The Baby and the Serpent | Genesis 3:15.

A Gospel Liturgy | Luke 2:8-20

God’s Message of a Savior, Our Praise

A certified letter requires a signature to be delivered and to let the sender know it has been received. When Jesus was born God sent a messenger to certify that the world knew He was born. Word spread from the shepherds on that very night and the good news is still spreading today, in hope that many who hear it will acknowledge the message that Jesus is Lord, by faith in Him as their Savior.

A Gospel Liturgy | Psalm 72:1-8

God’s Righteousness and Justice, Our Peace

Psalm 72 is a Royal Psalm that paints a picture of the king and his kingdom in the same way as the Messianic prophecies of Isaiah 11:1–5 and Isaiah 60–62. The Psalm gives us a glimpse of the image of Christ as King at His second advent; the King who first came into the world as a humble baby born in a manger.
