"Joy to the World. My Life is Hard." As we journey through the Advent season, our focus aligns beautifully on the theme of joy—a joy that doesn't arise from our circumstances but is deeply rooted in the promises of God. 

In this sermon, we explore the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who embodies a profound and radiant joy amid challenging times. Imagine receiving news that changes your life forever. Mary was faced with exactly that when an angel announced she would give birth to the Savior. Her response? Instead of succumbing to fear or doubt, she filled the space around her with song and praise. 

We'll unpack how Mary’s story resonates with our own experiences of hardship and anticipation. What does it mean to rejoice when on the surface, life feels overwhelming? Through her journey, we’ll discover that true joy isn't a fleeting emotion tied to earthly circumstances. Rather, it’s a steadfast hope that looks forward to God’s promises—a kind of joy that strengthens us in the face of trials.
We'll also reflect on the wisdom of C.S. Lewis and scripture that reminds us to consider joy in our waiting and how past trials can enhance our present faith. 

So, whether you're struggling with your own difficulties or simply seeking a deeper understanding of the joy God offers, this message is for you. Join us as we learn to embrace joy and find strength through our Savior, just as Mary did.

As we journey through the stories of Advent, we often reflect on the hope and joy that the birth of Christ brings. But today, we’re focusing on something that eludes many of us amidst life's chaos: the true peace of Christ.

This week, we’ll explore the incredible story of the shepherds—those seemingly insignificant figures who were entrusted with the greatest news of all. Imagine being terrified in the dead of night, and then experiencing an overwhelming display of God’s glory! It’s a stark contrast that mirrors our own lives when we face fear and uncertainty.

Throughout this episode, we’ll wrestle with the question: What does it really mean to experience peace in a world that constantly tries to sweep us off our feet? Pastor Austin, draws compelling parallels between the shepherds' journey and our own struggles, showing us how peace doesn't come from having everything under control, but rather from placing our trust in God’s hands—just like a child learning to navigate icy paths, knowing that a strong hand is there to steady them.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, searching for serenity, or longing for that calming presence in your life, you’ll find encouragement in the transformative power of encountering Jesus. Join us as we uncover how true peace is not the absence of turmoil, but the presence of God in our very midst.

As we kick off this special series, we’re diving into the theme of hope—a cornerstone of our faith and a vital part of the Christmas narrative.

This week, we're exploring a familiar yet profound story: the arrival of the Magi, the wise men who traveled great distances in search of the newborn King. Their journey not only reveals their own response to hope but also challenges us to examine our own. In a world often filled with uncertainty and distractions, how do we maintain our hope? How do we respond to the promise of Christ’s coming, both at Christmas and in anticipation of His return?

As we look back to the first Christmas, we'll uncover the layers of hope found in Christ's humble arrival and what it means for each of us. The Magi's actions teach us powerful lessons about worship, sacrifice, and the importance of responding to the divine guidance in our lives.

So join me as we revisit this incredible story from the Gospel of Matthew, reflecting on the Magi’s dedication and the responses it invites within us.

As we navigate through the rich text of Hebrews, we'll discover the profound truth that Jesus is not just an upgrade; He is the fulfillment of the promises God made to His people. Imagine a life where the burdens of past rituals are lifted and replaced with a relationship where you can confidently approach God—this is the heart of the new covenant.

In this sermon, we’ll unpack the significance of Jesus as our superior high priest. What does it mean for Him to offer a better sacrifice in a perfect tabernacle? We’ll examine the transformative power of the new covenant, where God Himself takes the initiative—making promises that we, in our human frailty, often fail to keep.

Join us as we reflect on questions that not only challenge our understanding of God’s grace but also invite us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. How often do we see God as distant, rather than as someone who welcomes us with open arms? Are we trying to earn His love, or do we live in the light of the love He has already given us?

Together, let’s remember that through Jesus, the promise of God is alive, active, and available to us today.

This week, we’re taking a closer look at Hebrews Chapter 7, where we encounter the remarkable figure of Jesus Christ as our perfect high priest. This isn’t just a theological exploration; it’s an invitation to experience a transformative relationship with God, one that abolishes the barriers we often feel between ourselves and the divine. 

For centuries, the people of Israel relied on a flawed system of priests—some good, some not so good—who could only approach God once a year, on behalf of the people. But through Jesus, a new way is made possible, allowing us unprecedented access to the throne room of God. Gone are the days of needing a mediator; Jesus invites us into His presence, cleansing us of our sins and bridging the gap between our imperfections and His holiness.

As we unravel this rich truth, you'll discover that being "perfect" is not about unattainable standards but about being restored—made complete in Christ. Whether you’re feeling distant from God, wrestling with past mistakes, or simply yearning for deeper connection, this episode holds a wealth of hope.

This week, we’ll reflect on a powerful moment in our church community—Baptism Sunday—where we celebrate the steps of faith taken by individuals that remind us of our own beginnings in Christ.

Together, we’ll look into Hebrews 6, a passage many theologians consider one of the most challenging in the New Testament. What does it mean for us to grow in maturity? Are we, like the Israelites, sometimes content with our current level of faith, wandering through life without truly engaging in the transformative journey God has for us?

We’ll explore the three major interpretations of this scripture, dissecting what it means to either risk losing the blessings of God due to complacency or to embrace a life of deep-rooted faith that bears fruit in our lives. Through the metaphor of gardening, we’ll challenge ourselves to consider what kind of soil our faith represents. Are we nurturing our relationship with God, allowing it to blossom, or are we letting weeds of doubt and stagnation take root?

Join us as we discover the profound truths hidden in this difficult passage, and let's reflect together on our personal journeys of faith—because the choice of what kind of spiritual harvest we produce ultimately lies in our hands. So grab your Bible, and let’s get ready to grow deeper together!

Have you ever found yourself rolling your eyes at someone who just won't grow up? Perhaps it's that friend who still acts like a teenager, or maybe it's a family member who seems stuck in their ways. In this sermon, we’ll confront a similar reality within ourselves as believers. Are we still sipping on spiritual milk when we should be feasting on solid food? 

Join us as we unravel the stern yet loving exhortation from the author of Hebrews, who invites us to move past the basics of our faith and to press into a deeper relationship with Christ. This message isn’t just a gentle nudge; it’s a call to action. It’s about recognizing that our spiritual growth requires intentional effort and a willingness to step out of our comfort zones.

We’ll explore what it means to go from being spiritual infants to being discerners of good and evil, to train our spiritual muscles for maturity, and to embrace the fuller life God has laid out for us. So, grab a cup of coffee or settle in wherever you are, and let’s get ready to be challenged and encouraged as we seek more than just a glass of milk in our walk with Christ.

This week we dive deep into a powerful topic that resonates with many of us: the role of Jesus as our High Priest. Have you ever felt distant from God, wondering how you can truly connect with Him?
Well, this week's  sermon, titled “Do Evangelicals Need A Priest?”, addresses this very question and opens up a transformative understanding of our relationship with Christ.

As Pastor Austin unfolds the scripture, he draws a compelling comparison between the traditional priesthood of Aaron and the unparalleled priesthood of Jesus. You might think you know what it means to have a mediator between you and God, but Austin challenges us to see beyond the surface—to envision an intimate relationship with God, made possible through Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. 

Imagine having access to the throne of grace at any moment, intertwining the divine and the human in a way that transforms how we live our lives. This isn’t just a history lesson; it’s a call to recognize and embrace the profound implications of Jesus’ role in our lives today.

So whether you've felt the weight of sin holding you back or you've longed for a deeper connection with God, this episode is for you. Join us as we explore what it truly means for Jesus to be our High Priest—how He empathizes with our struggles, offers us redemption, and invites us to live boldly in His presence.

In a world that often equates rest with idleness or escape, Jeremy guides us toward a transformative understanding of what it means to find true rest in God's presence and plan. He shares candidly about his personal struggles with busyness and exhaustion, illustrating how true restoration comes not from simply pausing our activities, but from intentionally entering into a deeper relationship with Christ.

With Thanksgiving upon us, there’s no better time to reflect on gratitude and our need for spiritual renewal. Jeremy connects the dots between rest, faith, and our journey of faith—we’ll see how that ties back to the Israelites’ journey, the concept of Sabbath, and the ultimate rest we long for in Heaven.

As you listen to this sermon, think about your own life. Are you running on empty, looking for moments of escape instead of seeking the restorative power of God's presence? Prepare to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired to trust in God's perfect plan for your life.

Have you ever felt a whisper of doubt creeping in, or found yourself questioning your faith? You're not alone. Many of us can relate to the struggles faced by the early church—those early Christians enduring persecution, grappling with their beliefs, and at times, contemplating turning away from the freedom found in Christ. Dawn draws from the author of Hebrews' urgent message, urging us to “check our hearts,” reminding us of the importance of holding steadfast to our faith amidst life’s challenges.

In this week's sermon, we learn about the dangers of a hardened heart and what it means to truly trust in God. It’s an invitation to reflect on our spiritual lives and identify those moments when we may be drifting away, subtly led astray by sin’s deceitfulness. But fear not; there’s also this incredible hope! Pastor Dawn encourages us that, despite our struggles, we can experience renewal and intimacy with God through a softened heart - a heart willing to embrace His love and truth.

So, grab your Bible and a comfortable seat as we take this journey together. Let's prepare to examine our hearts, challenge our beliefs, and discover the beauty of God’s unwavering grace.
