We often think of spiritual activities as attending church, praying, or studying the Bible. But have you ever considered that your relationship with money is a spiritual matter? Jesus talked a lot about money because money leads our hearts. In this new series we will discover that the way we relate to and manage our money can help unlock a deeper relationship with Jesus. This last Sunday, we began our new series- It’s $piritual!

This last Sunday, we concluded the No Matter What series by inviting Pastor Ann Brandon to the stage with Pastor Erin to discuss the question- How does faith help us endure suffering so that it shapes us for better, not worse?

Our world teaches us to value speed and to expect prompt responses; however, these can be dangerous expectations when waiting on our God. His timeline and our timeline are not the same. Take a listen as we continue the No Matter What series and discover how we can encounter God during times of waiting.

Just like Habakkuk calling out to God- “Why don’t you do something?”, we may be feeling alone in the darkness or may have difficult questions for God. This last Sunday, we continued with our No Matter What series, looking at how we can encounter God during these times of confusion.

In this new series called No Matter What we look at how the prophet Habakkuk called out to God asking Him tough questions and how God's answer was not what Habakkuk imagined.

How do we continue when we're struggling? Take a listen to hear three truths we find within the first chapters of Habakkuk.

This last Sunday, Pastor Erin gave us some time and space to step out of last year and move into this New Year with purpose. We may be entering into this year with fears of the unknown, but we can be confident that God knows exactly what we need and when we need it. Are you ready to follow?

This last Sunday we looked at Luke 2:8-20.

The shepherds were welcome at the manger. The unclean were judged to be clean. The outcasts became honored guests. The song of the angels was sung to the simplest of all. -Kenneth E. Bailey

Our Prince of Peace is among us!

Bringing peace and setting things right is a mission of God and he invites us to be a part of this. Last Sunday, ye heard more about this through one of our Christmas Offering Ministries- Children of Promise. Find out more about Children of Promise here- https://www.childrenofpromise.global

Remember you can Give online at almacog.org/give and designate your gift “Christmas Offering.”

This past Sunday we looked at how God shows up in the middle of what can feel like a mess, but it's His presence that makes all the difference. Therefore, as we continue through advent, we hope that you encounter not just the feeling of peace, but the Prince of Peace himself!

We begin our Encounter Peace series by looking at the God of Shalom. Whatever struggle we may carry as we enter advent this year, we can take heart, because the Prince of Peace is here to dwell with us.
