1) Do not go outside your marriage

2) Be captivated by who you have

It’s Christmas Eve! Where does your attention go during the Christmas season? Is it more about Jesus’ birth or about all the gifts and things you have going on in life? If we aren’t careful, we can start with Jesus, but then the attention will shift toward ourselves. As we finish our series, “It’s Complicated,” we examine the complications around Jesus’ birth and the complications for us today as we celebrate His birthday.

1) Division

2) Travel

3) Unforeseen Circumstances

4) Accommodations

5) Work 

The holidays can be a complicated time where the urgent crowds out the important. This week we look to Ephesians to learn how we can choose our time, use our time, and not waste our time.

1) Choose your time wisely

2) Use your time wisely

3) Don’t waste your time being filled in the wrong spirit

Do you dream of being success in this life? Do you hope to live the American Dream? In this one-off sermon, David Marvin teaches us through Luke 12, reminding us of what living the dream on this side of eternity looks like and where our true home is.
