What is the greatest thing that has ever happened to you? What did you do when it happened? What about after it happened? Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph, but the details around His birth are amazing and out of the ordinary. Mary was a virgin and yet still found herself pregnant with a child. Jesus' birth is known as the incarnation, and it is the most amazing thing that has ever happened in the history of creation. JI Packer describes it this way, “It is here, in the thing that happened at the first Christmas, that the profoundest and most unfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie.” Listen as we continue our Advent series, Do You See What I See, and discover the profound depths of the virgin birth and the incarnation.

What was your great, great, grandparents' name? More importantly, do you know their story? What were they like? In our modern context, there has been an exponential increase in the popularity of genetic tests to help us know about our heritage, but in the ancient world, they used genealogies. Listen as we continue our Advent series, Do You See What I See, by looking at the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1 and how this record of Jesus' family teaches us a lot about the story and purposes of God.

What lets you know it's getting closer to Christmas? The darker days and longer nights? The music on the radio? The colder weather? For me, I know it's getting closer to Christmas when I see the lights. The light on houses and trees let me know that the Christmas season is here. The Israelite people looked for the same thing to let them know that the Messiah had come. They looked for light. Not small colored lights but a great light that dawned on the land of darkness. That light has come in Jesus and He is why we celebrate this season. Listen as we look at Isaiah 9 and discover the hope, promise, and significance of the child who was born.

It's natural around this time of year to pause and take inventory of everything we are thankful for. We proclaim thanks for our family, friends, experiences, and, hopefully, a Lion's victory. However, this is not a practice that started around a table with a turkey on it in the early days of our country. This is a practice that has deep roots in pages of Scripture. Listen as we prepare for Thanksgiving by looking at one of the least practiced but most important practices of gratitude. We will look at Luke 17 and discover the joy of gratitude and the dangers of ingratitude.

Last week we discovered the joy that comes through generosity. Lying beneath the joyful practice of generosity is the understanding that we are stewards of everything that God has put in this world. The early church knew and understood this and responded with generosity that was "even beyond their ability" (2 Corinthians 8:3). How can we live this way? Listen as we look at the most concise instructions to the early church around generosity and discover how we can live as generous stewards.

What would you describe as the secret to a happy life? Is it good friends? A nicer car? Maybe more vacation time? In our American worldview, we often live in a way that says more money means more happiness. When we read Jesus’ teachings on money and possessions, they sound crazy to our modern ears. Yet generosity is a pathway to happiness and displays trust in a generous, happy God. Listen as we continue our series, Blessed, and discover the secret to the joy that comes from a life overflowing with generosity.

Have you ever looked around and wondered why you have so much stuff?  Have you ever wondered if you need those collector's mugs, an additional set of China, or that extra piece of unused exercise equipment? Has the thought of cleaning out the garage or hallway closet caused anxiety to rise in you? For many, our problem is not that we lack things, it's that we have too much. Listen as we look at the practice of simplicity in preparation for our new series called Blessed.

We live in a foodie world. From social media posts about what we're eating to meal prep plans to websites devoted to the restaurants we must eat at; our world is obsessed with food. Yet throughout Scripture, we see a practice that places our hunger somewhere else. Through the practice of fasting, we deny ourselves food to use our body as a tool in our prayer life. Listen as we start a new study around fasting and see how this practice from the life of Jesus has the power to transform the way you talk with God and hear His voice.

It’s not a question of if we’ve been hurt by someone we care about, but when the last time was. The reality is, the church is filled with people who've been hurt by others and at times, have hurt others. Listen as we wrap up our series, Family, by looking at how the new family of Jesus can learn to fight clean as we practice the way of Jesus together.
