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.

Mary's Song

Mary’s song, the Magnificat, is a powerful proclamation of hope and transformation, revealing the heart of a God who sees, acts, and loves. Through her words, we are reminded that God is mindful of the overlooked, mighty for the powerless, and merciful to the imperfect. Mary’s song challenges us to magnify the Lord with our lives, carrying its message of joy and hope into a world longing for renewal.

Hearing and Discerning the Voice of God

Have you ever struggled to hear God’s voice or wondered how to discern His guidance in your life? This week’s sermon, "Hearing God's Voice," explores how we can recognize and respond to God’s direction. Drawing from John 10:2-4, 14, 27, we’ll discover practical steps and timeless truths to tune out the noise of life and embrace a deeper relationship with the Good Shepherd. Join us as we learn how to give God our ear so we can have His heart!

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.

Ephesians: Life in God's Family

God calls us to live with humility, gentleness, patience, and unity, thereby reflecting the grace of God to the world. As image bearers of Christ, we move beyond superficial divisions and preferences within the church, and now embrace the deeper calling to be one body united by God’s amazing grace. As a new race founded in Christ, our unity is found not in external similarities but in the shared love and peace of Jesus. When we embody these virtues, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we fulfill our calling to shine the light of Christ in a divided world, living as a people transformed by grace.

Ephesians: Servants of the Gospel

God's plan from the beginning was to unite Jews and Gentiles into one family, bound together by grace. Paul challenges us to embrace a life of humility, service, and radical unity. He reminds us that the church is meant to be a multicolored tapestry, displaying the richness of God's grace through its diversity. In a time when division and distraction threaten to pull us apart, Paul’s message calls us back to our true purpose—to be a living testament to the love of Jesus Christ. God’s love unites us beyond race, culture, and background, and calls us to live as one, rooted in prayer, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and compelled to serve others with the same grace we’ve received.

Ephesians: A Revolutionary Idea

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.

A Good Community

The people we choose to surround ourselves with can either help us build a life of wisdom, peace, and integrity or lead us down a path of conflict and regret. Scripture challenges us to be intentional about our relationships, to seek out godly wisdom in others, and to invest in a community that reflects God’s love and grace. The foundation for a good – and godly – life is a good and godly community.

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.

Less Junk, More Health

Food is a good gift from God, intended to nourish and delight us. Yet, for many, it has become a source of struggle—dominated by cravings, compulsions, and the endless cycle of yo-yo dieting. We often believe that more willpower or the next diet will solve our problems. But what if food isn’t the enemy? What if the true solution to our dissatisfaction lies not in controlling our appetites, but in allowing Christ to fill the deepest hunger of our souls? Come, taste, and see that the Lord is good!

Less Distraction, More Presence

Our world is full of distractions. There are countless things that pull our attention away from where it truly needs to be. Jesus, on the other hand, calls us to keep our attention focused on one thing. He invites us to a different posture so that no matter where we are, who we’re with, or what is happening we can respond to his invitation and find the satisfaction that only He can truly provide.

Less Debt, More Freedom

If any area of our modern life gets twisted and misaligned to God’s will and God’s ways it might be our finances. When we follow the principles outlined in Scripture and learn the real purpose of money, however, and trust the guidance of God’s Word, we can experience a more joyful life aligned with God’s desires. Learn how to avoid the complexities and regrets of worldly financial practices by following God’s wisdom.

Less Stuff, More Happiness

True and lasting contentment in this life will never be found in the accumulation of material possessions. Jesus is calling us to embrace the idea of simplicity and finding our sense of contentment in Him so that we can be free from the enslavement to our things and thereby be free to serve others.
