December 24, 2018 Advent Conspiracy: Love All
On this final Sunday of Advent, Pastor Chris Seay teaches from the first
epistle of John, and our call to live with a pattern of gracious love for
all; evidenced by way we care for those in need. Whether in Argentina,
Zambia, or here in our own city, and everywhere in between, we are to be
the hands and feet of our Savior; the active presence of a love that has no
boundaries. If you’re accessing this via our iTunes podcast feed, please

King, for whom we wait.

Our thanks to guest preacher Judy West for leading us this weekend in our

December 03, 2018 When Less Is Loving
Pastor Sean Palmer leads us into an Advent season of great expectation as
we anticipate Jesus’ coming and seek to worship fully, spend less, give
more, and love all. Sean invites us to consider how we might spend less in
this season, to ask ourselves what is “enough”, and to commit to rhythms of
limitation and simplicity that allow us to share even more as a family with
communities in great need from the abundance that God has provided.

November 26, 2018 Breaking In
Pastor Sean Palmer points us toward the Advent season with an important
message on Mary’s scandalous pregnancy and the decisions that we (like
Joseph) have to make in considering how to use our power and privilege.
Will we choose to “break up” and further divide, or instead, the far more
difficult road of participating in the ways that God’s Kingdom is “breaking
in”?

November 19, 2018 In Search Of What's Been Lost
Pastor Chris Seay continues our conversation from last week; sharing
stories of hope from the migrant caravan in Mexico City, and looking ahead
toward what we pray will be a deeply transformative season of Advent. As we
seek to be a people who worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all
; what might we rediscover as we give ourselves fully to the invitation of
these sacred weeks of anticipation and longing?
