Christmas Greetings!
As the Christmas season approaches, it brings a time of reflection, joy, and profound gratitude. In this season of Advent, we remind ourselves of the greatest gift ever given – the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a time to celebrate the hope, peace, love, and joy that comes from God.
Here at St. Timothy's ACC, we encourage you to remember those in other areas of the world, especially as war continues. We remind you that the only time there will ever be wholly and peacefully on this earth is when the Prince of Peace is ruling and reigning!
This past year has been one of both challenges and blessings. We have seen times of hardship and moments of great community spirit and togetherness. Your faith, resilience, and compassion have been a source of inspiration to us and others in our church family.
As we gather with friends and family this Christmas, let us remember those less fortunate and those who are alone during this season. Let's extend our hands in love and service, embodying the spirit of Christ who came not to be served but to serve.
This Christmas, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your lives and the grace that God has bestowed upon us. Let us also look forward to the coming year with hope and faith, trusting that God will continue to guide and protect us.
May your Christmas be filled with the joy and peace of knowing and loving God. May the coming year bring you and your loved ones happiness, health, and abundant blessings.
Join us for Christmas Services this month!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
In Christ's Love,
St. Timothy's ACC
Buried with Christ, Raised to New Life: Living the Reality of Baptism
Baptism is more than a past event—it is the defining reality of the Christian life. Drawing from Romans 6:3–11, this Trinity 6 sermon reminds believers that they have been buried with Christ, freed from the dominion of sin, and raised to walk in the newness of resurrection life.
Nevertheless at Thy Word: Faith in the Midst of Empty Nets
Sermon Excerpt — Trinity 5
Luke 5:1–11
Have you ever worked hard at something, only to come up empty? Simon Peter knew that feeling well. After a long night of fishing, he and his companions had caught nothing. Exhausted and discouraged, they returned to shore and began washing their nets—resigned to failure.
It was in that very moment that Jesus stepped in and said, “Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets.”
By all human reasoning, this made no sense. The night was over. The opportunity had passed. Yet Peter responds with remarkable faith:“Nevertheless at thy word, I will let down the net.”
Those four words change everything.
Peter obeys—and the result is abundance beyond imagination. The nets overflow. The boats nearly sink. What began in exhaustion ends in overwhelming blessing.
This passage reminds us that faith often looks like simple obedience in difficult moments. Not when we feel strong or confident, but when we are tired, uncertain, and ready to give up. Christ does not wait for us to be perfect or prepared—He meets us in our weakness and calls us to trust Him.
Whatever “empty nets” you are carrying today, bring them to Christ. And then, like Peter, say: “Nevertheless at thy word.” Cast the net once more—and trust that He is faithful.
