MESSAGES IN THIS SERIES
Make RoomDecember 24, 2024If we're completely honest with ourselves, we'd all have to admit that the ONE thing that keeps us from embracing the full meaning of the Christmas Season is - quite simply - stuff. All kinds of stuff. Schedules and appointments, to-dos, traffic, presents - they all keep our lives so full that we have no more room for what matters. Today, as we celebrate the amazing gift of God With Us, we'll learn how to Make Room for what's really important. Chris Beatty, Lead Pastor | |
Plant JoyDecember 22, 2024Why does it seem like lasting JOY is so elusive. We get small tastes of it, and then it's gone. We search. We plan. We look for joy in everything we do. And still, it just seems to fade into the rearview mirror just as fast as it comes. This week, we'll learn how to plant REAL, LASTING joy in our hearts - not just at Christmas, but all year long.
