As we hear the story of the birth of Christ, we rejoice as we know that he meets us in our mess, but seeks to lead us to redemption 

As we look at the prophet Micah we see how God shifts our expectations and calls us to focus more on the doors that are being opened instead of closed, and to focus more on God than self 

As we look at Isaiah 12 we hear that our true joy lies in the well of salvation and that alone 

As we hear the call from the prophet Malachi (Malachi 3:1-4) we are called to enter into the Refiner's Fire. As we prepare our hearts, minds and very lives for the coming Lord we are seek peace as we know our hope will be fulfilled 

As we look at Jeremiah 33:14-16 we look how God, even in the darkness gives us hope for the light 

As we wrap up our series on giving thanks, let's not forget to give thanks for those around us 

Today we look at living with an Attitude of Gratitude and being the one that puts that gratitude into aciton 

What do we do when it appears God has forgotten us, when times seem hopeless and helpless, we listen for the voice that says to come  out of the darkness of despair and be set free 

As we look at the fulfillment of the Greatest Commandment, we must ask 
"How is your love life?"

As we look at how the call to be fishers of men and the Great Commission are not mutually excessive but are harmonious with one another
