Sometimes God shows up in the places we’d never think to look. The Christmas story isn’t polished or grand. It begins in a forgotten town, with ordinary people, in a manger that smelled like animals, announced to shepherds who didn’t hold any influence.

Why start the story this way? Because God often begins renewal in small, hidden places. And the same pattern shows up in our lives. The moments we overlook. The people we underestimate. The parts of our story we’d rather skip.

This week we’re starting a new series called Unexpected Advent, and we’re exploring the surprising way God enters our world, and our lives. Join us for today’s worship and teaching and take a step into a grateful, grounded life.

Gratitude isn’t meant to show up once a year. It’s a rhythm that steadies you, softens you, and pulls you back to what matters.

This week we’re exploring how thankfulness becomes part of the daily fabric of life—prayer that slows you down, rest that resets your heart, meals that draw people close, and relationships that anchor you.

When you build simple gratitude habits into the everyday moments, you begin to notice how God is already at work in places you once rushed past. Peace grows. Connection deepens. Your home starts to feel more grounded and whole.

If you’re longing for a steadier way forward, check out this teaching and take a step into a grateful, grounded life.

Gratitude is powerful, but it is not meant to sit still. It is meant to move. This week we are looking at how gratitude grows when it turns into action. When we receive something good and let it change how we show up for others, joy expands. When we keep it to ourselves, it fades.

We will explore how a thankful heart reshapes the way we see our possessions, our work, and the people in our lives. Many of us live with a low-level fear that there will never be enough. Yet something shifts when we choose to give our time, attention, money, or presence. The world feels larger. Our hearts feel lighter.

If you need a reset or want to learn how to live with a deeper sense of abundance, check out this teaching. It might be the spark you need to move from receiving to giving and from fear to joy.

Real gratitude isn’t pretending life is fine when it’s not—it’s learning to see God’s presence right in the middle of tension, disappointment, and waiting.In this teaching, we’ll explore what it means to live The Grateful Life. Not gratitude as denial, but as defiance. Jesus gave thanks before the breakthrough, on the very night He was betrayed. That’s the kind of gratitude that changes how we suffer and how we hope.Join us as we learn to give thanks not just in the tension, but even for it, trusting that God is shaping something sacred in the struggle.

We’re beginning a new series called The Grateful Life and in this message, we’re naming the hidden force that keeps us restless: discontent.Our culture runs on comparison and consumption. Every ad, every scroll, every “next thing” whispers the same lie: you don’t have enough. But what if the first step toward gratitude isn’t forcing ourselves to be thankful, but recognizing how this lie shapes our habits, our marriages, and even our faith?Jesus slept through a storm not because he was unaware, but because he was unafraid. Gratitude doesn’t ignore reality, it resists being consumed by it.

In a world that profits from your dissatisfaction, gratitude becomes an act of rebellion, a way of saying, “What God has given is enough for today.”Join us for this teaching as we learn to live with open hands and peaceful hearts in a culture of scarcity.
