MATTHEW: THE BRIGHTEST WORSHIP IN THE DARKEST HOUR is an exploration of worship as seen in the closing chapters of Matthew. It takes us through the Passion Week and shows how Jesus worshiped in His darkest hour through prayer, sacrifice, weeping, outreach, and song. Each week highlights a unique expression of worship, drawing from the narratives of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the triumph of Christ's resurrection. This series invites us to see worship as a daily response to God's love, inspired by Jesus' example and the actions of those around Him. Join Horizon for this verse-by-verse study at the Equipping services, meeting Sundays at 8:30 and 9:45 a.m.

The holidays are a great time to gather around the table and celebrate with delicious food. This year at Horizon, we'll be hosting our own cooking show, blending the art of festive food preparation with the heart of the Christmas story. Each Sunday a specific dish will be prepared: smoked salmon canapés, potato pancakes, tri-color herbed bread, shepherd's pie, and Polish Angel Wings, with each one relating to that week's exploration of the Nativity narrative. Join Horizon at the 11 a.m. Exploring Service for COOKING UP CHRISTMAS, revealing that the birth of Jesus is a true account, not just some cooked-up tale.

To be successful, an archaeologist needs the stamina of an explorer, the intelligence of a scientist, the consideration of a historian, and the optimism of a child. In many ways, those same characteristics serve us well as we investigate faith. Skeptics who want proof are often surprised to learn that there's historical and archaeological evidence to support the historical Jesus. The places mentioned in scripture are actual locales, and scientists have worked tirelessly there for centuries to investigate the veracity of the Bible and its claims. Join Horizon at the 11 a.m. Exploring Service as we look at those findings in RAIDERS OF THE LOST CITIES, a journey of discovery and truth through archaeology.

The world is often cynical about kindness. We tend to wonder, "What's their hidden motive?" Fred Rogers, the cardigan-wearing TV host, faced that skepticism daily on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. His show's mission, rooted in his Christian faith, was about seeing people's pain and suffering with them. It's the same approach Jesus showed in His neighborhood, ministering to the hurting and neglected, while others rushed by.

The growth of the early church was a grass roots effort -- individuals shared their faith story to others, who then passed it along down the line. The Apostle Paul wrote many letters encouraging those missionaries to continue to do so, despite difficult times. His final letter to Timothy is a challenging reminder that the world still needs to hear about Christ, and it's our responsibility to faithfully hand that message to others like a runner passes along a baton.

For those exploring faith, it can feel like a courtroom case, with beliefs and doubts on trial. Rather than undermining it, doubt can be a powerful tool for developing true conviction. This four-week series examines the case for Christianity, where uncertainty will be honestly explored, along with how science and history support a believer's point of view.
