This past Sunday, we welcomed Pastor Don Beachy as our guest preacher. We celebrated Advent and Christmas through our series: Home for Christmas. We continue that theme and hear how God uses us to bring others home to Him. Family Gathering, from Matthew 28:16-20.

Special Guest: Don Beachy.

On Christmas Eve we refocused on our Advent messages: we were lost, then found, bringing us home again through the one true King.

Jesus left his home to bring us home to him – but we’re not home yet. We get hints and shadows of the goodness of the true, eternal home we’ll experience in Jesus’ second advent. We concluded our Advent series with, Home Forever from Revelation 21.

How can we find our way back home? The Good News in the Christmas story is that it is not our pursuit of God, but God's pursuit of us that is the answer. Lost and Found from Philippians 2:5-11 is our third Advent message for 2017.

“I’ll be Home for Christmas” is in some sense, the longing for all people, to find a place called home, reflecting Genesis 3, when all of humanity became lost, losing their God-given home and thrust into a world of suffering and death.

We start at the beginning: Where did we come from? Why do we long for security, meaning, purpose, relationship – for home? And how does Jesus fit into the picture?

We conclude our series on Goodness by looking at Psalm 145:13-21. God’s goodness is evident in who he is and what he does, and yet the world we live in doesn’t always reflect his good rule. How do we understand the struggle and pain of this world in light of God’s goodness?

We continue exploring God’s goodness through Psalm 145. As King David invites us to reflect on God’s goodness, he calls us to respond by reflecting God’s goodness. If God is good and all He does is good, how do we reflect his goodness in what we say, do, and are?

Jesus said, "at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves." - John 14:11. Last Sunday, Pastor Joey introduced Psalm 145 and the theme of God's goodness, focusing on goodness as essential to who God is. This week, I'll take us a little further in Psalm 145 as we focus on the works of God's goodness.

"I will pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.” So says the psalmist as he contemplates the essential goodness of God. Does God’s goodness move you to worship? Join us this week as we jump into a four-part series on God’s Goodness from Psalm 145!
