TEACHING
The Cast of Christmas: This Advent season, we examine four key characters in the Christmas story: The magi, king Herod, Simeon, and Joseph. Each person played a role in God’s story of Salvation. The question is: Am I playing my role in God’s continuing story? Series begins next Sunday, December 1.
Dec. 1: The Magi: Don’t Just Look: Are you browsing or buying in? The Magi took a journey across deserts, through doubt, and straight to worship. They didn’t just look for signs—they sought the Savior. So, the question is: Are you just admiring Jesus from a distance, or are you ready to bow in worship?
Join us in-Person at 9:00am (acapella) or at 11:15am (instrumental) or Livestream at YouTube.com/Clearcreekcoc or clearcreek.online.church.
