Advent tells the truth about the human condition. We wait. We ache. We hope. We long for God to come close. Christmas answers that longing with a single breathtaking declaration: Christ is born, and because of His birth, something new can be born in us.The Advent series "BORN: Christmas Life Begins" explores how the birth of Jesus gives new life to the deepest parts of our souls. The manger is not simply a moment in history. It is the doorway through which God enters the human story and invites us to see the unlikely places where hope, peace, joy, and love are born.

Tired of measuring your faith by output and activity? This message on Philippians 3:1–16 invites you to trade performance for grace and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Holy grit isn't about following Jesus through willpower. It's a joy-fueled resilience and an obedience that is its own reward. Paul wrote to a church he deeply loved, a community pressed by persecution yet resisting with the power of joy. In this series, we're asking God to shape us into that same real, gritty expression of His kingdom.We'll learn that the way of Jesus isn't through trying harder. It's moving into a deeper joy that produces lasting grit. A faithfulness that endures because Christ is our joy. Not grit alone, but a holy grit that perseveres through the joy that comes from Christ.

In this message, we're reminded that God's presence is the ultimate gift, far greater than any earthly outcome. The story of Jacob and Joseph in Genesis 45-46 teaches us about trusting God's guidance, even when entering unfamiliar territory. Just as God promised to be with Jacob in Egypt, He promises to be with us in our own 'foreign lands' - whether that's a new job, a challenging relationship, or an unexpected life change. We're encouraged to be 'pilgrims' in this world, grateful for God's provisions but always aiming for the better country He has promised. This perspective shift can revive our spirits, helping us see beyond our immediate circumstances to the eternal hope we have in Christ. As we navigate life's journey, let's remember that our true home is not in this world, but in the new Jerusalem that God is preparing for us.

Abandon All Outcomes: Formed Through Unseen GoodThe good life isn't about getting what you want. It's about trusting the God who is always good—even when life isn't. Through Joseph's story, discover how to let go of anxiety and striving, and live with grace, peace, and purpose.

The sermon explored the story of Joseph, focusing on how God-given dreams often begin with disruption rather than immediate realization. This sermon shows that our spiritual growth often occurs through unseen good, even when visible circumstances seem challenging. This perspective invites us to trust God's work in our lives, even when outcomes are unclear or difficult.

What's filling your life? This teaching from Ephesians 5:15 21 calls us to be filled with the Spirit, not distractions that leave us empty.We explore what it means to wake up, redeem our time, and live with intention in a world that numbs us. You were made for God's presence.Are you letting the Spirit fill every room of your life—or settling for lesser loves
