What are you ultimately living your life for? Would your daily rhythms and habits demonstrate that or something else? Listen and hear how the good news of how bright our future is gives us the grace to wait upon Jesus in ways that demonstrate that he is our greatest treasure.

Around Christmas time it’s not uncommon for us to do everything we can to ignore the darkness in this world in the hopes of enjoying the holidays. Of course we often find that trying to ignore the darkness leaves us feeling a little bit alone. But the truth is that Christmas has never been about ignoring the darkness or pretending that everything is OK. No, Christmas has always been about a light that shines so brightly in the darkness that the darkness cannot overcome it. In this message we will learn more about who this light is and how he came to save us.

What happens to the promises of God when we mess up? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Have you ever done something you never thought you would do and then found yourself wondering if God’s promises could possibly still be true for you, after all that you have done? In this message we will look at King David and consider what happened to the promises of God when he failed miserably. 

One of the great blessings of life are the relationships that God gives us. And yet one of life’s greatest tragedies is the way that distance and sin and death come and separate us from the people that we have grown to love. Of course these broken relationships and the pain that they bring us are only a shadow of our broken relationship with God and the suffering that it leads to. So what do we do? In this message we will look back at the priests in the Old Testament and consider how God used them to foreshadow an even greater priest and the way that he would come to reconcile us back to God and to fix all that we had broken.

      Long ago God promised Moses that one day he would raise up another prophet like him from among his brothers. The New Testament tells us that Jesus is that better prophet and that he has come from God to reveal to us the very heart of the Father. In this message we will consider what Jesus shows us about God and why it is so important that we Listen to him!

The LORD God will save a people for himself through his chosen Messiah Son and so we put our faith in him alone to save us from all that we have broken.

G.K. Chesterton once wrote, “Your life would be so much bigger if your self was smaller in it.” Here in I Corinthians 13 Paul beckons us to leave our own little worlds behind and embrace a life that desires and delights in the good of others. In this message we will consider the dangers of pride and all that our God has done to rescue us from it and set us free to enjoy a life of humble love.

Have you ever had someone tell you about something really good in their life, but for some reason you didn’t feel very happy about it? Envy is the distress that we feel over someone else’s success and it is something that all of us deal with. However, most of us are better at seeing envy in others than we are in ourselves. In this message we will look at the ways that envy often disguises itself as a desire for justice and we will consider some helpful ways to fight against it.

What is Love? In this message we will consider two attributes that Paul believes are absolutely vital to love. Love is patient and love is kind. While all of us are familiar with these words, we will be taking a closer look at what they really mean as well as considering why we sometimes find them so difficult to live out. We will also consider some of the ways that our God has been patient and kind to us.

How do love and sacrifice go together? Is it possible to love without sacrifice? What about sacrificing without love? If sacrifice is necessary to love, then how can we know for certain that it will be worth it? These are a few of the questions we will address in I Corinthians 13:3.
