In this message we begin a prayer reset. We take serious step to begin changing our habits to include a life of prayer.

In this message we give thanks to God for things he has done in 2019, we ask him to help us minister in 2020, and we share what Elders believe God is calling us to in year to come.

Christmas Eve at Lakeland

Our final carol of the Advent Season carries the key to truly knowing the MIND OF GOD! An essential message for all who are seeking the truth this holiday season.

 

Holiday: Christmas/Advent, Jesus

Christmas is not always a happy season. For Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, author of the poem Christmas Bells, it was a miserable Christmas. Yet in this carol we find a map back to joy!

 

Holiday: Christmas/Advent, Suffering/Difficult Times

In this week's carol, Lo How a Rose E're Blooming, we find answers to some of faith's hardest questions: How can Jesus be God AND Man? -and- Can we REALLY have peace with God?

Do you know the Christmas Carol Good King Wenceslas? Did you know King Wenceslas was a real person in Christian history? This week we learn about three rulers from; Biblical, Tenth Century, and Modern history. Their lives tell a story about what God wants us to do with the life he has given to us.

We'll discover his true issue throughout the entire narrative.  And the deeper we dig into that issue, the more we'll discover that it's also our own.

In chapter 3, we will all become preaching critics as we analyze Jonah's message to the people of Nineveh and their response.  Does it even matter how we communicate the message of God to others? Or that we do it at all?

In chapter 2, we find Jonah at the absolute rock bottom of his life thus far. He is broken, discouraged, and in the belly of a whale at the bottom of the ocean.  In this moment, Jonah begins to pray, and how he prays might not be what we would expect at all!
