Rejoice! Rejoice! The Savior Comes!

How do you wait? Do you wait wondering IF God will act? Or do you wait wondering WHEN God will act?

This week, Pastor Brynn joins us from Anchor Bay Church, and walks with us through Simeon's story of waiting with expectation, as we consider how we might stay connected to the promises of God in the midst of our waiting.

Rejoice! Rejoice! The Savior Comes!

Our lives are full of waiting. Waiting to hear about a job, waiting to get married, waiting for our health to improve, waiting for the world to feel less chaotic, waiting for justice to come.

In this season of Advent, we are reminded that our lives are filled with seasons of waiting. And yet, as we wait, we can find hope in the promise that God has come in human form. The form of a baby - Jesus, our Emmanuel.

Many people live their lives feeling like God is disappointed with them, angry at them.

Taking direction from Paul Petter Waldenstrom, a Covenant theologian, we explore explore the Penal Substitutionary Theory of atonement and how God’s wrath works with God’s love.

Come, See, Stay: Following Jesus in the Gospel of John

If you’re right about everything…and I’m right about everything…and then we disagree…who’s actually right?

In John 4, Jesus meets a woman who thinks she knows the right way to worship God. In response, Jesus encourages her to think about worship in a different way.

In the process, Jesus demonstrates that while positions are important, people are more important.

Come, See, Stay: Following Jesus in the Gospel of John

It's not hard to look around and think that the church today has lost its roots. From frequent scandals to countless people who have been hurt by the church, it would make sense to picture Jesus coming in to flip tables in the church today.

But Jesus doesn't just want to see the church return to its roots - he wants to flip the tables in each of us too. This week, Pastor Brynn from Anchor Bay Church joins us, and helps us to consider the ways Jesus is inviting us into a life marked by transformation, restoration, forgiveness, and love.
