As we grow up, we begin to realize that Christmas is not all about "me".  Of course, not everybody understands that.  Not only regarding Christmas but also in life in general.  In today’s message, we look at Herod and other examples to evaluate if we have room for others in our lives.

The older we get, the harder it is to be surprised. But we should have that sense of awe or surprise for the unexpected, especially when it comes from God. In today's message, we ask if we've got room for wonder this Christmas. Do we have the ability to wait in wonder? Do we have the ability to live in wonder?

As a kid, the thought of no more room at Christmas was probably

Are you one of those people who wish they could just be left alone when you come to church?  It can be easy to isolate yourself and disconnect from others and get caught up in your own selfish ways.  The only problem is that is not how God operates nor is it how He expects us to operate.  If we are to grow more Like Jesus, we are to allow His work to be done in us and through us.

On October 3, 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation full of faith and wisdom, designating Thursday, November 26, 1789 as a National Day of Thanksgiving for our nation. In today's message, Ed shares some Principles of Thanksgiving found in that proclamation.

God intends for our faith to make a difference in our lives! Whatever your life was in the past, Jesus can change the hold it has over you. Whatever your life is right now, You have both the responsibility to follow in His steps and with all the uncertainty of the future. Thinking & Living like Jesus will give you peace in the midst of all of that.

In this part of our "More Like Jesus" we take a good look at the issue about Abortion. When the Supreme Court over-turned Roe v. Wade in 2022, they said it was an issue for each state. This Tuesday, the people in our state have the opportunity to vote on the abortion issue. So what’s your “Gut Reaction”? Is what you believe determined by the commercials that run, non-stop? Or is what you believe determined by the agenda & algo-rhythms of a political party? Or perhaps your conviction about abortion is the result of a personal experience. One thing is clear from the Word of God: Everyone in this situation, the women & men involved, as well as the unborn babies, are created in the image of God and are worthy of life and grace.

Philippians 2:5 says, “In your lives, you must think and act like Christ

Have you noticed the “Anti-Social” impact that “Social Media” has on people? Instead of talking to each other, we spend more time on our phones. Sometimes we become keyboard warriors as we try to intimidate others online. It's become quite clear that we need more Jesus and "less me" when it comes to how we interact with others.

It can be incredibly frustrating, to deal with people who think that life revolves around them. However, this frustration frequently reveals that we want their life to revolve around us. In today's message, we approach this conflict by looking to Jesus as our model, for living life the way that God intended.
