Throughout the Old Testament, God promised to send the Messiah. God had always been faithful to keep His promises and this provided hope for His people. In this messsage, we look at two people who waited with hope and discover the wonder of His hope.

Life is a journey, and all of us are searching for something. Meaning, purpose, identity, peace, hope, or joy. The story of the Magi depicts a journey that leads us to Jesus and leads us to joy. In this message, we follow the Magi to discover the key to experiencing the wonder of His joy.

The Wonder of His Peace is a theme that is woven throughout the Christmas story, but is especially prominent when we explore the angel’s message to the shepherds in Luke 2. In this message, we discover three insights about the wonder of His peace.

When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary with the news that she would carry God’s Son, everything changed. In her story—and in the birth of Jesus—we discover four powerful ways God’s love shapes our lives this Christmas.

This message highlights God as a faithful Father and provider, showing that genuine generosity flows from trusting Him. Using the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17, it outlines three key tests believers encounter as they learn to live a truly generous life.

In the early pages of the Scriptures, a core claim is made about the universe, and alongside it we find a mandate for humanity. Simply put: “Everything in the world belongs to God, and we are stewards of all he’s put in it.” In this message, we explore the Christian’s identity as a steward, which underpins Jesus’ invitation to the generous life.

“The more you get, the more you want.” Few truths cut more deeply across the breadth of the human experience. No matter how much money or stuff we amass, we never feel like we have enough. The bulk of Jesus’ teachings on money are warnings about the danger of it. In this message, we explore Jesus’ warnings about wealth and His invitation to a simpler life marked by the biblical virtue of contentment.

Jesus’ call to generosity is rooted in his vision of God and our place in God’s world. In Jesus’ teaching on a “healthy eye” vs. “an unhealthy eye” (Matthew 6:22-23), we are introduced to two strikingly different worldviews or ways of seeing the world. When Jesus said there is more joy in giving than in receiving, he turned our vision of the good life on its head. In this message, we discover that through the practice of generosity, we tap into God’s joy.

Hypocrisy is giving an impression of having certain purposes or motivations, while in reality having quite different ones. It was a problem for the religious leaders in Jesus’ day, and it is a problem for followers of Jesus today.

Should we be afraid of God? In our world today, there is a growing system that dismisses the very notion that there is a God to whom we are accountable and will one day stand before. In this message, we discover two dangerous postures when it comes to the fear of the Lord.
