First Orlando - Horizon West Podcast

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! On this last Sunday before Christmas, our focus is on love, and the Christmas story overflows with love. When we examine Joseph's part of the Christmas story, we see his love for Jesus in the role model he set, in the sacrifices he made to protect his family, and in the devotion to God shown by his obedient actions.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! Today's message in our journey to Christmas concerns joy. Paul knew the essential nature of joy as part of our walk with Christ, so he encouraged us in Philippians 4:4 to "rejoice in the Lord always." In this message, Pastor Chris leads us deeper into understanding and incorporating joy in our lives by asking and answering three questions about joy: what is joy, why is joy important, and how do I find and keep joy in my life?

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! As we continue our journey to Christmas, we focus on peace this Sunday. In this focus, Pastor Chris leads us to consider four types of conflict: internal conflict, relational conflict, global conflict, and cosmic conflict. Our Prince of Peace is greater than all these conflicts, defeating the Enemy who sows conflict and drawing us into salvation and peace.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! The services for the four weeks will be preparing our hearts for Christmas, a period also known as Advent. Today, Pastor Chris brings us a message about hope, drawn from the story of Ruth and Naomi in the Old Testament. Hope in the lives of Believers is not wishful thinking, but an anchor in our storms and an assurance of a future reality, because we know that God is in control.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! Pastor Chris Bacon, who leads the NextGen ministry at the John Young campus, gives us this message of encouragement: God has placed us where we are and has given us a purpose.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! We are continuing to give thanks for how God is leading our church as seen in the pledges made for next three years, and today, we consider how we are led to live lives of gratitude. When we examine the life of King David as a guide for cultivating a thankful heart, we learn to slow down, to stay grounded, and to recognize the giver.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! This week's worship service provides time for prayer and reflection as we consider the election tumult in our nation and the peace in which God is calling us to live. The world wants to entangle us in flawed and temporary matters, but God calls us to be at work on what is far more important: serving the God who loves all of us more than we can comprehend.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! We are concluding our series called "Greater" with encouragement for all of us to show greater generosity in response to the divine grace in our lives. We aren't giving so that God will give us something in return. God has already blessed us and continues to bless us immeasurably, and because God has given to us, we give, ready and sincere in our thanks to God.
