The love of God displayed in sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world.
The Gift of Joy
Sometimes we think that it's certain circumstances that bring us joy. But joy is not based on circumstance - it's something more. On the third Sunday in Advent we light the candle of joy to remind us that it is a gift from Jesus to experience joy and that in Jesus, we can find true joy.
The Gift of Peace
Do you find yourself juggling friends, relationships, your marriage, to try and make people happy and at peace? Today we're talking about the peace that Christ brings, not just as the absence of conflict but as wholeness and restoration.
The Gift of Hope
As we kick off the 2024 Advent season we are reminded to reflect on the hope that Jesus' coming brings and we see that when we trust in God, he promises that our hope will overflow.
How God Speaks to Us
Sometimes when we're in a relationship with God, we are just waiting for our opportunity to share what we need because we're not sure how to hear what God has to say. Today we're exploring two ways that we can hear God.
What Stops Us from Hearing God?
Are you at a place where you feel like God is silent? Or have you never even thought about whether God is speaking to you? God is speaking and today we explore some things that might be keeping us from hearing.
Does God Still Speak?
Does God still speak? How do you know it's Him? Today we explore how God is speaking today and how we can know His voice. Find out practical ways to hear what God is saying to you.
Cross-Shaped Lives
What does it mean to be more like Jesus? Ultimately, that is the goal of following him, so what does it look like? In his book “The Politics of Jesus”, John Howard Yoder used the term “cruciformity” to describe a life of following Jesus. Cruciformity means a cross-shaped life; that the things we do, the words we say, the decisions we make are informed by, and conformed to, the cross of Christ. We are to live a cross shaped life.
Doing Right When Wrong is Easier
What do you think is the most important thing about going to church on Sunday? There are many great things from the music, the time of connecting with people you know, the sermon, praying together, all the programs, maybe even the coffee! Church services are meant to be a time for people to gather with each other and worship God. Presenting an opportunity to listen and care for each other. It can be a time to be challenged and encouraged to see what it means to be more like Jesus.
