The Way of God’s Presence | Exodus 40:34-38
Last week we talked about “The Gift of God’s Presence.” I spoke on why God’s presence matters for our lives and church, and how we can have God’s presence because of Jesus and grace.

Love | John 13:34-35
“Love – We receive and share God’s love and grace because Jesus first loved us.” This Core Value comes from the heart of Scripture, and Jesus’ command to love each other as he loves us.

Andy Bradshaw preached this sermon on Saturday November 28th.

One Thanksgiving day, Christ will take us home. Pastor Jonathan delivered this brief homily at Immanuel Church during the multi-church Thanksgiving Eve service 2015. Please read his sermon outline as a way to reflect and give thanks this Thanksgiving.
