Passage: Isaiah 9:6
Duration: 49 mins
Pastor Tom Craig - Sunday Morning Worship - Man can never know peace, personally or globally, apart from the Prince of Peace! Isaiah declares the Jesus born in the manger to be the Prince of Peace. Ahhh, that has a nice ring to it. "Peace", something about the word just makes you want to sigh and say, "ahh, yes, peace". "Peace", the word has a something all of us can take away from it. It has a different "app" for all of us. What is heaven's meaning and "app" for Jesus being the "Prince of Peace". Join Isaiah as we look to the Spirit of God to direct us to know the Prince of Peace found in Isaiah 9:6.

Passage: Isaiah 9:6
Duration: 35 mins
Pastor Tom Craig - Sunday Morning Worship - One of the most familiar Christmas verses is Isaiah 9:6, “for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace”, Have you ever stopped to recognize that heaven desires us to know that this Child was born to become our Father. Fatherhood was created by God to demonstrate to us some of the very best relationship benefits that can ever be enjoyed. God made dads so that we can appreciate His desire and intent toward us: “to be a Father better than any Father we can imagine.” When you enjoy Isaiah 9:6 this Christmastime, we hope today’s message will help you to enjoy the full intended concept of this birth of Christ is a movement of God toward you become your heavenly Father.

Pastor Tom Craig - Sunday Morning Worship - The power we desperately crave for life is found in the person of Jesus Christ. There is something inside all of us that craves power & might. We want more, more, more power. Our cameras cannot have enough mega-pixels. Even the term, “MEGApixel” is trying to say, “POWER”. Our laptops cannot have enough ram or enough processing speed. We want bigger…bigger tv’s, bigger sound from our entertainment-mega-surround sound-man-cave system! We want a car that goes 0-60 faster while getting 60 miles to the gallon. It is ironic that all while craving more power, we are powerless in the most important things in life: we crave empowerment to have meaningful relationships, we clamor for power over our enslaving sin-habits, we need power to change the pitfalls of our character, empowerment to affect our culture, empowerment to make a better world…we yearn for power in the most important things, but can only seem to supply it in the least important things. Our God cries out to a planet yearning for power, “I am the Mighty God that you desperately need yet stubbornly ignore."

He is Inspiring…listen to the most incredibly inspiring things this wonderful counselor says: “life…life more abundant”…”you will never more grope in darkness”…”you will never more hunger or thirst for life”…”go, and sin no more.” He is Interested…this book we hold in our hands…this wonderful appearing of the immeasurable, infinite, omnipotent God in a baby-form speaks to me of a God that wants to present himself, to come near to me…He wants to be real to me, he wants to reveal himself to me, he wants to offer a relationship…how wonderful is this counselor!
