How do you show love at Christmas? Is it in the gifts you give? The meals you make? Or the decorating you do? God had a different way of showing us love at Christmas, better than anything we could have imagined. Join us as we explore the way in which God showed his love at Christmas and what it means to us.
This Christmas: The One About Joy
As the year comes to a close with our approaching Christmas, most of us would not think of it being a joyful year. If anything it was a year of struggle and isolation. But Joy is not about our present circumstances, and we can experience joy even when things are not going so well. Join us as we explore the difference-maker in our lives so that we can see the joy in our hardest times.
This Christmas: The One About Peace
What is the strangest fear you have heard of? Is it nomophobia? The fear of not having your cell phone? Or maybe barophobia? The fear of gravity?
Some fears may sound silly to us, like being afraid of a baby that was born to a poor family when you are the king of a nation. But Herod felt it when Jesus was born. Herod in his insecurity felt threatened by a baby.
While we might not be as horrible as Herod, we too can become afraid or feel threatened by things we shouldn't. And because of that, we can develop unhealthy patterns in our life that cause us pain. But there is hope, the hope found in Jesus that brings us peace. Join us and explore how we can step out of an unhealthy cycle and into a cycle of grace.
This Christmas: The One About Hope
How do you feel about waiting? Most of us don't like it.
From waiting in line for Christmas shopping to being stuck in traffic, waiting can try our patience! But imagine waiting 800 years for a promise to be fulfilled, how do you think that would feel?
The first Christmas was an answer to that 800 year waiting, and it changed everything. Join us as we explore why we can have hope even when things seem hopeless, and why waiting is worth it.
