As we hit the new year, many of us will be seeking new things, knocking on new doors, and asking God to bless our plans. Jesus wants us to pursue better things, but His primary goal is that we ask, seek, and knock for the Kingdom of God to be present. Join us as we look at how to seek the most important goal in 2024: A relationship with God.

   Most of us come to the end of the year tired and weary. Many goals and resolutions from January have not been fulfilled. Yet, if we have Jesus and can hear His voice, the promise from God is that he will give us rest. Join us as we end the year with our focus on Jesus and all that He has done!

   Christmas is really about two stories playing out at the same time. In one story, we see the people of God including Mary and Joseph going through the struggle of registering for a census for the purpose of paying taxes.  At the same time, God was still doing a miracle in the middle of all of this! He was bringing Christ the Lord into the world to bring forgiveness, reconciliation and peace. God is still doing something in our world, we just need to see it!

   We don't always get what we want in life. Whether is presents for Christmas or dreams and ambitions that don't always come true, life is full of disappointments. The same was true for Joseph and Mary as they started a family. Yet, because they focused on obeying what God asked of them, they received the best present possible: The presence of God Himself. Immanuel, God with them who is God with us.

   A few weeks ago we talked about what the Spiritual Gifts are and what they are to be used for. This week we take a look at some practical ways to discover what your gifts are through pray, the reading of Scripture and discernment in the fellowship of Christ (the church).

   Spiritual gifts are ways God equips us to serve others while we wait for the second coming of Jesus. They are given to build up the church, be an appetizer of the Kingdom for a hurting world and create avenues for everyone in the Body to find their calling.

   Eschatology is the study of the end of the world. We continually see a rise in wars, famines, natural disasters and other catastrophes. For thousands of years, the church has thought about the end in the light of Jesus Christ and the resurrection. It's easy to look at the news today and be filled with anxiety. The story of the Scriptures however, calls us to look at the end and live with hope.

   We are called to be the gathered and scattered Body of Christ. When we gather, we build each other up through revelation, song, teaching and testimony. When we are scattered we are called to use our spiritual gifts for the "common good" of the world. How are you using your membership in the Body to serve and be served? Join us this week as we discuss this important topic.
