This Sunday is the start of Advent, the season in which we anticipate the coming of our Savior at Christmas. This year, our Advent sermon series seeks to connect Israel’s anticipation for the Messiah leading up to the birth of Jesus and our own longings as we wait for Christ to come again. How do we pray between these two Advents? 

Jesus spoke more about money than about faith and prayer combined; eleven of His forty parables are about money. How we use and approach it reveals a lot about our hearts. Jesus not only understood this but directed much of His teaching to challenge the destructive ways in which our hearts tend to get wrapped around money. Pastor Rick McKinley continues our series.

Description: As Kingdom Citizens, we are called to be agents of healing in the world. At the close of an election that has shown us how severely divided we are as a nation, God’s people have work to do. We must not lose sight of each other’s humanity—no matter how different our views and experiences—and practice loving each other with sincerity, honor, goodness, and devotion. Pastor Rick McKinley continues our series.
