Pastor Byron teaches on another unique location where the Christmas story took place: the nations. When wise men from the East came to worship the newborn king of Israel, God reminded everyone of his love for the whole world and his plan to redeem all people through the Messiah Jesus Christ.

Pastor Ryan opens up our Christmas series on the places of Christmas with a focus on Jerusalem and the temple, where an angel spoke to Zechariah about his miraculous child who would make the way for the long-awaited Savior of the world. Is there room in your heart for Jesus? Luke 1:5-25, 67-68, 76-79

Pastor Gary concludes our study of Galatians with encouragement to boast in the all-sufficient cross of Christ and to celebrate the new creation that God has started when you were saved by grace alone.

Pastor Gary describes the concepts of reaping and sowing in Scripture, as it applies to how we use the money God gives us as well as how we live holy lives by the Spirit instead of for our sinful nature. Are you living life for a harvest in heaven or a weed patch on earth? Galatians 6:5-10

Pastor Gary heeds Paul’s admonition to the Galatian church to spiritually examine themselves by checking their attitudes towards self and others. Are we carrying each other’s burdens and fulfilling the command of Christ to love one another?

Pastor Gary describes how Spirit-led people will be humble, willing to restore other believers gently, and ready to carry others’ burdens.

Pastor Gary wraps up our fruit of the Spirit study with self-control, explaining how the crucifixion of self is the path to a life of freedom.

Pastor Ryan delves into an underappreciated fruit of the Spirit—gentleness. When we know both the tenderness and toughness of God, it allows the Spirit to change us into gentle men and women.

Pastor Danny centers our hearts and minds on the faithfulness of God and how God Himself helps us to be faithful to Him and to those He has put into our lives.

Pastor Gary describes how the next two fruit of the Spirit reflect the characteristics of God—kindness and goodness.
