Welcome to our third week in our Christmas series called Unexpected Christmas. This week Pastor Anthony takes a closer look at the shepherds and the Magi. Their invitation to worship the Messiah was well...unexpected.

If you feel like you don’t belong, like God can’t forgive you, like you are too far from the reach of God’s grace—please know, God invites the outsider. If you have a category for other people in which they are deemed as “too far gone,” please be reminded—God invites the outsider.

Welcome to our second week in our Christmas series called Unexpected Christmas. This week Pastor Anthony explores how even in the Genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:1-17) we see a God who Identifies with Sinners. 

Jesus is not ashamed to be associated with you. He’s not ashamed of your past. He’s not embarrassed to be seen with you. Jesus is comfortable with being associated with “tax collectors and drunkards and sinners.”

What does this tell us about the heart of God?

Welcome to our first week in our Christmas series called Unexpected Christmas.

No one expected the Messiah to come in the way that he did. In the same way, God wants to enter into your story in unexpected ways. He is not a distant, impersonal force. He is a relational being, and he wants to make a home in your life.

What does this teach us about the heart of God?

As we approach Thanksgiving Pastor Anthony unpacks Psalm 136 and what our true  motivation is for giving thanks to God.

The relationship that we have with ourselves is complicated. Should we have high self esteem? Or should we have low self esteem? In Paul's letter to the corinthians he says neither is a good solution. We don't have to think more of ourselves, or think less of ourselves, rather we can think of ourselves less. And this is Gospel Humility, because of Jesus we can trust his work on the cross and the verdict he received for us. We are then free to stop connecting everything in life to us and start living a life free from self for the sake of others and God's glory.

So much has changed over the past couple of years. And while the future is unknown, Pastor Anthony shares a foundational building block for him and our church as we move forward in discovering God's future for us.

David Kelly joins us from Wellsprings of Freedom ministry to talk about our fight against the unseen world. He dives into these three questions:

What does the scripture say about spiritual warfare? 

How do we, as Christians, come under spiritual attack? 

How can we have victory? (We are on the winning side!)

Pastor Anthony finishes up the series God of All Seasons. This week, we look how important it is to mend relationships and the posture we should have in doing so. What relationship is God asking you to mend?

Pastor Anthony continues the series God of All Seasons. This week, we look at the inner healing that God wants to do in our lives. However, we often look to other things to find this healing. What are those things? Take a listen to find out.

Pastor Anthony continues the series God of All Seasons. This week, we take look at the season of grief. It is not a fun season but it is necessary step in healing. We all have lost something over the past 19th months and when you loose something it is important to grieve. But how do we grieve? How do we help others grieve? This sermon will help you answer those questions.
