Lean in because this is some good news!

We’re continuing our series Christmas: It’s All Good with this truth - Jesus came to level the playing field.

The countdown for Christmas has started. But along with the holiday cheer, this time of year can also bring feelings of anxiety, sadness and even loneliness. You add on the struggles of the last two years and you may be feeling like it's hard to really get into the "spirit of Christmas." 

That’s why we are taking the next few weeks to quiet the noise and refocus on the truth that Christmas brings us. It's not just a story, it's good news for everyone.

Reuben is visiting from Africa to share about Eastown's global partnership and the lives being changed there. His story is truly inspiring.

Jalen Seawright will be continuing our series The Thing Beneath The Thing. We are focusing on Narratives, the stories we tell ourselves about others. Often when we are hurting we can create false narratives about what is going on and what others are thinking and feeling. How can we get back to the truth?

Hideouts are the metaphoric places we go to escape the pain of our story. We expend a lot of energy trying to manage our secrets and as we get older we can become increasingly better at hiding. 

We all have an image we present to the world, but our smiling faces often hide pain or insecurities that have been buried deep within.  
 
This Sunday we are going to peak inside and examine where we go when things get hard. Join us at 10am at Iron Horse Middle School in San Ramon.

Evan Barnhart finishes our At the Table series this Sunday with a message on Salvation.
