Christmas at Mt. Horeb

Join us for this Advent season!

Every Christmas season, Christians across the globe celebrate the world-changing moment of Jesus’ birth, when God chooses to put on flesh to live and walk among us, know us and ultimately, sacrifice Himself for us. The birth of Jesus was a fulfillment of many promises in scripture, one of which tells us that Jesus would be called Immanuel, meaning “God with us.” As we celebrate the forgiveness for our sins we have received by grace through faith in Jesus, we also have a responsibility to continue that same promise by carrying the same love of Jesus into the world. We were created to do great and wonderful things for the good of others and the glory of God. God works in us so He can work through us for His eternal purposes.

He Shall be Called (Sunday Morning Series)

This Advent season, slow down and discover the significance behind the names given to Jesus. Each name reveals something about His character, His mission, and the hope He brings to our world. He is the Wonderful Counselor who gives us wisdom. He is Emmanuel, God with us. He is the Prince of Peace who brings calm to our chaos. He is the Messiah, the promised King who came for us. He is the Savior who rescues us from sin. And He is Lord, the King to whom our lives ultimately belong. This Christmas, we don’t simply celebrate that Jesus came. We celebrate who Jesus is. Join us on Sundays beginning November 29.

Advent Offering

Christian communities around the world celebrate Advent as a season of remembering and celebrating the arrival of Jesus on Earth. At Mt. Horeb, we choose to celebrate by taking a special offering to advance the kingdom of God. This year, our Advent offering will support a local and global church.

Globally, we will be helping to rebuild a church in India, led by our friend and former Pastoral Intern, Prasanth Bethu and his family. In the city where he lives, less than 5% of the population is Christian. By God’s grace, their church has grown to over 1500 people in worship. On May 31, their church was burned to the ground. We do not know who was behind it, but we feel confident that God has called us to help rebuild it.

Locally, we will bless Rehoboth Global Methodist Church in the Columbia area that is showing signs of growth and promise. By coming alongside this church, we can multiply mission and dramatically impact the vision and reach of this smaller church, expanding their capacity to reach people in the Columbia area. Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Please join us as we make an impact in Columbia, India and even to the ends of the earth. We will begin collecting the Advent Offering on November 30. Click here to give.
