A few days after the birth of Jesus, a man named Simeon got to hold the "consolation of Israel." The consolation of Israel was the promised Lord's Christ. This message looks at the hope we have in the comfort of Jesus.

The backstory leading up to “Jesus being born, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger” is pretty real, complicated and needed an angel to convince Joseph to stay with Mary and raise God’s Son, Jesus. This Christmas message looks at the message the angel gave Joseph which gives the plans and purpose of Jesus' birth.

In Matthew 2, King Herod does the unthinkable. In an attempt to resist and extinguish the Light of the World, He orders all boys 2 and under to be killed. Why? To preserve HIS kingdom. King Herod's story gives us a great reminder this Christmas - choose to submit and not resist Jesus.

The Christmas season is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. But for many people,
it’s complicated. It’s a time of year that surfaces tensions in relationships, unmet expectations, and the pain of absent loved ones. What do you do when the magic and wonder of the Christmas season feels out of reach? How do you reconnect with the reason for the season? Christmas is not the most wonderful time of the year because of what’s happening but because of what happened. Jesus came to be the Light of the World. The light that began as a match in a manger would give light to you and I!

And nothing will do more to restore contentment and the joy of our salvation than a true spirit of thankfulness. This message looks at how we can "retrain our brain" by cultivating a spirit of thankfulness.

Philippians 4:8 encourages Christians to "fix their thoughts" on 6 specific things. If you don’t control what you think, you’ll never control what you do.

All of our lives are impacted, affected and directed by our minds. It’s time to take your thoughts captive and force them to obey Christ! You cannot have a positive faith-filled life, when you have a negative fear-filled mind.
