Jesus, before his death, referenced the history of the Passover by comparing his blood to that of the lamb that was to be sacrificed. By doing so, he connected the past, present, and future. Through the sacrament of Communion, we in the church today can experience the freedom that comes from Christ's death and resurrection.

Ultimately, amidst all the trials that life throws at us, we should ask ourselves, where is Christ in all of this? The people were expecting a mighty warrior who would come and take over, but instead, they got a baby in a manger who would eventually conquer death.

It's easy to miss the presence of love when going through a difficult time. Joseph found love amid his struggles, specifically when his soon-to-be wife became pregnant with the son of God. How can we follow Joseph's example and learn to find love in our own difficult situations? Pastor Chuck suggests we focus on four types of love in our lives.

How can we find joy amidst the chaos in our lives? The answer lies in recognizing that Jesus brings the joy of salvation, and we should not be afraid of good news. Our true joy cannot be taken away, but we can surrender it if we fail to embrace it. When we fully embrace our joy, it leads to proclaiming and praising God, which can inspire others to do the same.

The Bible speaks to three types of peace—with God, others, and ourselves. Listen to Pastor Chuck communicate about these varieties of peace and how we can find them in the mess of our lives during the Advent season. 

As we start the Advent season, listen to Pastor Chuck's sermon about the hope we get from waiting for our Savior. The Advent theme is all about waiting, but in that waiting, we can find hope in Immanuel, that is, God, who came to be with us. Even in our mess, we can hold on to hope.

In life, we often give undue importance to certain things to the extent that they become essential for our existence and self-worth. We end up treating them as idols. In his sermon, Pastor Beau emphasizes the significance of prioritizing God above everything else, as Joshua did. He highlights the importance of taking the first step towards this goal. 

Guest speaker Haley Bogear addresses the Women's Essential group on the significance of being in Jesus and having Jesus in us. Accepting His love enables us to remain rooted in His love.

Don't miss out on Pastor Chuck's final sermon in his series on the 23rd Psalm. In the past four weeks, we have been preparing ourselves for a life of sacrificial living. By understanding Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, we can strive for a holy and righteous life.

When you look around, whom do you invite to your table? Often, we allow different people to join us when we should be asking God to sit with us. Listen to Pastor Chuck as he continues his series on the twenty-third Psalm, and learn how inviting God to our table daily leads to a fulfilling life.
