Most of us know the story of Christmas……how Jesus, the Son of God left Heaven and came to earth. Christmas is the story of His birth and all of the miraculous events surrounding His arrival. Everything changed in a moment. When Jesus was born, He gave us the chance to be known, accepted, and forgiven. When we experience His love, we, like the wise men, can’t help but Come to Worship. In this series we’re going to learn some different ways to worship God, ways that will give you more “tools” to express your love to God and worship His Son.

Ever been tempted? Of course you have. We all have! So what did you do? Did you give in? Did you fight it, only to lose the battle? Or were you able to stand strong and resist……..this time? Temptation is that seductive little voice that twists what you want into what you need. It distorts your thoughts until you’re trapped – and when you’re trapped by temptation, it’s not the time to listen to yourself. We’re all tempted, but it’s how we respond to that temptation that makes all the difference. This series, A Way of Escape, will give you some tools to be able to stand against temptation with God’s help.

It’s easy to pray the prayers we’re familiar with, the prayers we’re comfortable with.  We’re all familiar with the, “God give me, God bless me, God help me, God strengthen me,” kinds of prayers. There’s nothing wrong with those. But what if we were to take prayer to a new level……to a dangerous level? What about the prayers that put us on the spot more than they put God on the spot? Don’t know what those prayers might be? Then don’t miss this series.

You may be aware that there’s an election coming up in November. Perhaps you’ve heard someone say this, “There are two things you should never talk about: religion and politics.” We’re breaking that rule….or both of those rules, however you want to look at it. In this series we dive into some things that Jesus had to say that apply to the upcoming election. No, not about endorsing a candidate or a party…..we’re talking about things far more important that either of those.

As a result of what we’ve experienced and, in some ways, are still experiencing through the pandemic of 2020, what are the lessons we’ve learned? And what changes do we want to make moving forward? This experience was forced on us but it would be a shame if we don’t take a look at what we’ve learned and figure out what we need to carry forward from the old normal to the new normal. This brief series explores some changes we can make and points us toward seeking God’s help in implementing them in our lives.
