Jesus himself is the greatest gift that humankind has ever been given. In this message, we will unwrap this gift and see the beauty that is the Son and the implications that it can have on our lives today. Best news, you don't have to wait until Christmas to open it!

This season is an invitation to lean into the Wonder of Christmas, which is the miraculous, unexpected, perfect gift of God’s only son. 

The Wonder of God, becoming man, and how that changes everything when an infinite God enters the temporal world. He created all of time revolves around his coming and going (BC and A.D.)

Looking into the Wonder, beauty, majesty, and impact of the amazing gift given to us in the person of Jesus.

We often underestimate the role that fear plays in our financial decisions. Both how much we spend and how much we save are influenced by what we fear. But, when we grasp the depths of God’s faithfulness, we’re freed from the power of fear and discover a newfound influence in our financial world – joy.

Our exciting LIFE TRUTH is that God is DEEPLY COMMITTED to provide ALL WE NEED (and more) for EVERY SEASON of our ENTIRE LIVES!

 The promises of God can often bring us great hope and sometimes serious confusion, especially when related to His provision in our lives. Let’s discover key that unlocks God’s promises, giving us joy and peace in every area of our lives. 

In times of political chaos and conflict, we’re tempted to be swayed by the emotions of the moment. But Jesus, no stranger to cultural tensions, invites us to a hope that can’t be shaken.

We’ve arrived at the final stage of the spiritual formation journey, which is the end goal of the Christian life. Surprisingly, we’ll discover following Jesus is less about us getting into Heaven and more about getting the things of Heaven into us!

When in our stages of growth as followers of Christ we find ourselves hitting a wall that threatens to destroy our faith, our future, our very lives, God is there. The wall doesn’t represent the end but, is instead our invitation through and into a deeper life of surrender, love, impact and intimate friendship with God!

We’re all going to hit a Wall at some point in our spiritual journey – a time when our will collides with God’s will. Let’s learn the warnings from Scripture about how we’ll be tempted to respond at the Wall, so we can get through those times and experience what God has for us on the other side.

As we walk through our spiritual journey, we’ll naturally be looking for directions along the way. But God provides for us something better than turn-by-turn navigation, He comes along side of us as our Guide. Learning to hear the Guide’s voice is essential to navigating the journey.

We're slowing down to talk about something that is important and valuable at every stage – Spiritual Practices.  Spiritual practices exist to help us bear fruit / flourish with Christ. Not to prove we are good Christians.

The journey inward is often the most misunderstood stage of our spiritual journey with Jesus. It’s the stage with the greatest potential to trip us up, but it’s also the stage with the best opportunities to help us experience the abundant life Jesus came to offer.

The first stages of our journey with Jesus are as foundational as childhood and adolescent years are for human development. But how do we know if traveled these critical early stages, or skipped them, or missed them?

Everyone is on a spiritual journey whether we identify as spiritual or not. Every day, our inner life is being shaped and influenced - and we’re often not happy with where we’re headed. As we launch this 8-week series, we’ll discover Jesus’ invitation to a better spiritual journey and how to begin walking with Him.

We become great when we live like our Servant King. 

We are all encouraged to serve, but what is our motive. In this message you will see how humility, empathy and Compassion can lead us as we serve.

"We may say we follow Jesus, but are we displaying that to the world in our day to day lives? Let’s talk about an essential aspect of the Christian life – an aspect that when properly lived out in our day-to-day, will change the world around us."

We are going to discover today - what the spiritual gifts are, how you can discover yours and how you can use them by becoming a part of the body of Christ.
