The Christmas story, as told by Luke, is woven with song—from Jesus’ conception to his dedication at the temple, music accompanies every scene, infusing it with wonder. Each song reveals something different, something significant about the arrival of this miraculous Child. Jesus’s birth enables us to find hope in adversity, peace in the darkness, enduring love, and resilient joy.

How can we all get along in God’s diverse family? Is it even possible? The city of Ephesus was comprised of people who came from different backgrounds — racially, economically, and politically. It’s no wonder the believers in that city were finding it difficult to come together as one, put aside their differences, and get along in God’s new family.

The 1st-century church in Ephesus had the same problems we face in the 21st century. As we dive into the book of Ephesians we’ll discover how to live in the grace and mercy of God and how to show the world what a diverse church that Loves God and Loves People looks like. 

Our lives don't just happen to us – we build them through our decisions and our actions. How can we live in a way that will allow us to look back on the lives we've lived and pronounce them good?

What is the true path to achieving a good life? Can we attain it through the acquisition of new possessions? Engaging in novel experiences? Gaining the admiration of a larger audience? Accomplishing remarkable feats? Accumulating greater wealth? Almost everything we do or express is grounded in the belief that we deserve a good life. Join us for a four-week deep dive into the Bible’s “wisdom literature” as we search for a good life. 

We spend so much of our time chasing after careers, people, or possessions that never fully satisfy us in the end. Our society encourages us to accumulate. To chase after more possessions, more wealth, more distractions, and more success. We find ourselves lost in a sea of excess, disconnected from the true source of joy and contentment.

When is enough, enough? Join us as we explore a counter-cultural truth: True abundance and contentment comes not from having more, but from embracing less. Through this series, we will explore how we can experience more happiness, more freedom, more presence, more health, and more faith by choosing the path of intentional simplicity.
