This week we listen to Mary's story as she turns from worry to wonder.

Christmas can be a difficult time for people. Focusing on the true meaning of Christmas can be a source of comfort and bring us peace.

How do you prepare for Christmas? Is it all about lights and baking and presents? You could prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Or you can prepare for the best and receive God's hope to deal with the worst!

Does gratuity make a difference? And if so, what kind of difference does it make? In this week's message we meet ten people who received the most amazing gift but only one said thank you. And it made all the difference in the world!

Whether it's the fear of not having enough money for retirement or college, or the fear of not having enough time to get everything that needs to get done, fear is real. Ironically the antidote to fear is generosity. You may have less of what you gave away but you'll have more of what you need.

How generosity changes your perspective of your community and world.

Everyday generosity impacts someone every day. And sometimes God uses our generosity towards others to impact our faith.

What is a life worth living? And what is it worth? This week we explore two more of Jesus' Kingdom parables about pearls and treasures to find the answers.

It does not take much yeast to make a difference when baking bread. The same is true about God's Kingdom. Even a little bit of the kingdom can bring about great and positive change.

In the Gospel of Matthew the word kingdom is mentioned over 50 times. More than the words like grace or faith. Obviously it was important that Matthew share Jesus's teachings on the kingdom of heaven. In today's message we hear how Jesus compared the kingdom to a mustard seed. Something seemingly insignificant but with great significance.
