Description: The Christmas season can often be the most chaotic time in our lives, but does it have to stay that way? Advent invites us to experience the whisper of peace that doesn't depend on circumstances, but on the presence of Christ with us. Together we'll discover how His unexpected, unshakable peace meets us in our waiting and renews every part of our lives.

Description: The season of Advent is a time when followers of Jesus reflect on the longing and waiting for the coming Savior. We need hope, and Jesus delivers on true hope. Join us this Sunday!

Putting on love toward others, as I understand the love with which God loved me

Description: What if the cure for our loneliness has been sitting at the table all along? From the altar of covenant to the table of communion, God shows us that we were never meant to do life—or faith—alone. Join us as we rediscover how sharing the Lord's Supper draws us into His presence and reconnects us to the community our hearts were made for.

Behavior that extends the love that God poured out in my heart to others

Wanting to be with Jesus primarily because he wants to be with me

Attracted to people of different status because of you in them

Message Description: Jesus was the most joyful person alive, and he prayed that his apprentices would have "the full measure of my joy within them." Joy is more than just an emotion; it is an overall condition of the heart. But how do we become the most joyful people alive? Through the spiritual discipline of celebration and the best way to do that is to eat and drink together as a family.

Transformed into the image of Jesus, despite my failures

Seeking the knowledge that will transform me into the image of God

Planning ahead to place obstructions in the path of sinful habits

Appropriating the power of the Holy Spirit that is already in me

Putting to death the old self that I've already put off

What does hospitality in the church have to do with architecture? Today we explore the story of this practice in Church history: throughout the New Testament, we see followers of Jesus gathering in homes around a table and a meal. But as the church changed, so did their meeting place, which impacted the practice of eating and drinking in fellowship. Today Marty encourages us to recapture this practice of breaking bread together and gives us practical ways to get started.

Putting off the old self's evil practices through confession

Putting off the evil automatic responses that have embedded themselves in my body

disarming the lies of my earthly desires with the truth of God's promises

Choosing the presence of Jesus, overthinking about fulfilling the desires of my flesh
