We spend time in reflection, repentance, and thankfulness during this special communion-centered Advent service.

Are you constantly preoccupied with what you do not have, or have you learned to thank God for what you do have? In this sermon, we are challenged to have a grateful heart no matter the circumstances and reminded that a spirit of thanksgiving should be one of the most distinctive marks of followers of Jesus.

Embracing the gift of spiritual friendship as found in scripture makes much of God! In week 2 of “A Beautiful Way,” Pastor Shannon describes what spiritual friendship looks like and how it is designed to bring God glory in all things.

How much fruit do you want your spiritual life to bear? In week 1 of “A Beautiful Way,” we discuss how God uses spiritual pruning and find that if we want our lives to produce “much more fruit,” then we must be prepared for the pruning that will lead us there.

Many of us self protect because of the pain we have experienced. Guest speaker, counselor, and elder, Mark Carpenter, challenges us to move toward the chaos and mystery of life by believing we are fully loved and delighted in by God. It’s only then that we become who we were truly created to be.
