Pastor Bryan George: Jesus announces good news that God has opened a pathway to a relationship that lasts. Our response is to turn towards him and trust the path that has been paved by our
Savior.

As we look back on 2025, we see both joys and regrets. In our joy, we give thanks
and praise God with humble hearts. In our regret, we confess, receive God’s grace, and
are released from grief.

Pastor Robby Strock: God’s love is how we are to love. A love that brings hope, peace, and joy.

Pastor Bryan George: Christmas is the celebration of God’s love willing to stand with us in the midst
of our struggle against sin and death. True love is demonstrated when we provide for
others rather than consume for ourselves.

Pastor Bryan George: In a world filled with brokenness, the Jesus way offers us
a path of presence, power, permanence and peace.

Pastor Jared Priset: Jesus, the Prince of Peace, calms the chaos within and around us—not by
removing our struggles, but by ruling over them with His unshakable presence
and promises.

Pastor Jared Priset: Even in our darkest moments, we have a confident and unshakable hope because of what Christ has done, is doing, and will do. Jesus is not just the bringer of hope: He is our living hope.

Pastor Bryan George: A generous spirit offers our first and our best resources while trusting that God will provide for our needs.

Pastor Jared Priset: When we follow Jesus, He redefines what can be done with little. In
His hands, our “not much” becomes more than enough. Abundant Givers give
spontaneously, strategically, and sacrificially.

Pastor Jared Priset: The scarcity cycle starts in the mind, not in the wallet. Scarcity asks, “What can I afford?” Abundance asks, “What do I have?” When we trust God with what’s in our hands, He multiplies what we give away.
