We all experienced a redirection when we encountered and surrendered our lives to Jesus. The Apostle John was an eyewitness of the miracles of Jesus, and testified of His transforming power in his letters to the early Church.  Listen in as Pastor Larry begins a new sermon series through the book of 1st John, 'The Father's Heart'!

Are you anticipating a happy new year? Regardless of your circumstances, things will be looking up so long as you are looking up. The Bible repeatedly states 'lift up your eyes' - up off your problems and onto God. Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the magi each had to keep their focus on God to see the miracle unfold, and so must we.  Listen in as Pastor Larry reflects on this theme on the threshold of a new year.

Do you trust in God's sovereign plan and His timing? Though ruled by Rome, God sent His Son Jesus to Israel at the right time, and in just the right way to fulfill every prophecy spoken of Him. We may not understand God's ways or timing, but let's reflect on God's sovereignty over the events of the Christmas story and in our own lives today.

Life often feels like a pressure cooker, especially during the holidays. When Mary first heard the news from Gabriel, she could have dwelt on bleak consequences and worse-case scenarios, but instead she chose to recall Scripture, stand on God's promises, and praise. Let's follow Mary's example this Christmas, focusing on worship and generosity, and trusting God to meet our needs.

Mary was a poor, teenaged girl from the humble town of Nazareth, yet she was considered 'highly favored' by God and chosen to bear the Savior of the world! Though confused and disturbed by the angel Gabriel's appearing, she drew comfort from his greeting, reassurance that the Lord was with her, and confidence to accept the news given. Listen in as AJ Crocker unpacks this intimate yet powerful moment in history, reflecting on Mary's response and the implications in our lives when we are faced with similar callings of the Spirit.

Waiting is one of the hardest tests of faith. Zechariah and Elizabeth lived in a season of silence and waiting, until God sent an angel to Zechariah telling him his prayers had been heard and his wife would bear him a son in her old age. Their story reminds us that God is always working, even in silence, and His timing is always perfect. Listen in as Pastor Larry launches his Christmas series, 'The Wonders of Christmas: From Anticipation to Miracle'.

While the world offers only fleeting solutions to our worries surrounding finances, relationships, health and the future, Jesus extends an invitation to a peace that is not only lasting but transformative. Listen in and discover how His words and presence can replace your worry with confidence and your fear with faith.

Are you a collector or a connector? Wealth itself is not evil, but greed is. Greed prioritizes self over service, hoarding over helping, collecting over connecting. Jesus warns us that the pursuit of more for the sake of security or status is not only shortsighted by spiritually destructive. Listen in Pastor Larry shares the lesson taught in the parable of the rich fool from Luke 12 to help us prepare our hearts for the Christmas season.

The book of Jude focuses on a battle for freedom. Not a battle that takes place on the battlefield but rather a spiritual battle that's played out in the church. The book was written to Christians facing deception and hostility, much like us today. Listen in as Pastor Larry explores Jude's warnings and encouragements, inspiring us to find strength in God's promises even in times of turmoil.

We see many promises in Scripture for those who believe in Jesus: Peace, joy, freedom, and forgiveness. But often this is not what we experience in our day-to-day lives. Jesus gave us promises but also a pathway to them: Abiding in Him. Listen in as Cher Dombowsky shares God's Word with us!
