Meet our Pastor
Pastor Denis WittenbergerSaints before the altar bending
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord descending
In His Temple shall appear:
Come and worship.............
Worship Christ, the newborn King. This last stanza of the familiar Christmas Hymn "Angels from the Realms of Glory" connects us to the very halls of eternity. It was there in heaven that the saints were hoping and longing for the redemption of the sinful world. And then it happened:
"When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as His Sons. Galatians 4:4-5 | 
| Our daily lives are so bound by time and space. We have day-planners and palm pilots and blackberries. Our schedules are crazy; our calendars a mess. Many would give up some of their money for time. Few lives are not complicated by the time-crunch as we count down to Christmas right now.
So now is a perfect time for you to be reminded that a time is coming soon when time will end and we will all enter the realm of eternity. As we begin a new cycle of time that we call the Church year calendar,Advent reminds us of two comings. The Christ's first coming was in swaddling clothes in a humble stable to give order and meaning to our time and prepare us for His second coming in all His power and glory. And all we will have time for on that day is to worship the King, for all that has not been redeemed by His eternal love will have perished.
Such is the urgency of the holy writer when he says: "Now is the time of God's favor, Now is the day of salvation." (II Cor. 6:2) Time is short. This may be your last Christmas with a family member.Our dress-rehearsal for eternity's worship is scheduled for every Sunday morning. Please join us. |
