A Special Christmas Message

Being around family is great... until it isn't. Oftentimes the people we're closest to are the people we experience the most conflict with. Why is it that family can bring out the worst in us? This weekend we'll see why this is the case as we continue to navigate the complicated aspects of Christmas.

Christmas is a time of year when emotions become amplified. If things are going well, Christmas has a way of making it even better. But if current life circumstances are difficult, this time of year can become even harder. This weekend we're going to unpack that reality and discover how to better navigate our mix of emotions.

December seems to be a month where there is lots to do and not enough time to get it all done. But for many of us, living at a frantic pace is not just a Christmastime problem. This weekend we're going to examine the dangers of "hurry" and see one way that Jesus navigated a busy life.

Ever feel like doubt means you don’t belong in church? In this week’s message, we’ll look at the story of Thomas, who struggled to believe some important things about Jesus. You’ll see how Jesus didn’t reject him because of his questions, but rather showed him what he needed to see. Doubt isn’t the end of your story. It’s part of the process of growing deeper.

A word that we hear a lot in connection to our faith is worship. We hear it so much that we don't often consider the extreme nature of the word. This weekend we're going to grow in our understanding of worship as we learn about a woman named Mary. We're also going to discover where a life of worship comes from.

We’ve been looking at the way Jesus transformed lives through his encounters with people—but this week we’ll see what happened when he came face-to-face with the devil himself. This high-stakes showdown reveals more than just how to resist temptation. It shows Jesus’ power to overcome evil on our behalf. Join us this weekend as we see the power and hope Jesus can bring into any struggle.

Do you want your life to matter? Do you have hopes of using the time you've been given to make a difference? We all do. Two of Jesus' disciples had aspirations for accomplishing big things in their lives. Jesus' response gave them and us a whole new perspective on what greatness looks like.

Do you have questions about the future? Are there unknowns that could cause you to fear? Absolutely. The reality is that Jesus never promised that our lives would be easy. And yet, one of the biggest blessings of following Jesus is that we can fear less. As we continue our series, we're going to see how Jesus taught his disciples and us what to do with fear.

Have you ever asked God for a miracle, but it never happened? It can be hard to understand why God - who has the ability to do anything - sometimes seems unwilling to do anything. When Jesus encountered two sisters who were grieving because their miracle hadn’t come, he taught them and us why God can seem so inconsistent in the miracles he provides. God’s primary focus is not to alleviate our grief or suffering, but to elevate his glory and salvation.
