In the third week of Advent, we consider the joy that is experienced in the routine and mundane parts of our lives by examine the shepherds, who encountered the Heavenly Host during their workday.

As we continue our Advent Journey of Wonder, we look at Mary and the wonder found in anticipation of the birth of the Savior.

The season of Christmas is best observed through the eyes of a child who is filled with child-like wonder. There is plenty of wonder to see, if we have eyes to see it. Joseph's journey is one of wonder as he grapples with Mary's news and the angel's visit.

As we enter Thanksgiving week, we give thanks for the ways God has worked in our lives. We look at the prophet Joel for encouragement on how to see God's activity even through difficult times.

Philippians 2:19-30 | Paul sends Timothy and Epaphroditus for two different reasons to Philippi. We are all sent, but we are not all sent into ministry in the same way. Are you willing to be sent by God?

This morning we look at the Christ Hymn in Philippians 2:1-11. In it, Paul offers Jesus as our model as we are to have the same attitude Christ has in our relationship with others.

Today is ALL SAINTS SUNDAY where we remember the Saints who have gone on to glory and the witness they have provided us. We lift up the families who continue to grieve and pray that we would be faithful witnesses who hear "well done good and faithful servants."

We begin a new series that will cover the big picture of Paul's letter to the Philippians. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which Paul and others sacrifice as an expression of their faith in Jesus Christ. This week, we will look at Philippians 1:18-30 and consider how Paul has courage to sacrifice.

In order to produce "much fruit," disciples of Jesus need a structure, a plan, a rule of life to grow. This week, we look at the practices and structures that have provided structure for generations of Christians as we seek to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells his disciples that they will do even greater things than these. Discipleship means doing what Jesus did so that God can work through us. Join us as we continue our series Practicing the Way of Jesus.
