Trusting in Jesus goes beyond simply believing that He exists and that He is the Savior. When you trust in Jesus – you are taking your belief in Him and embracing Him as your Savior. The distinction is critical and one each person must wrestle with. Your eternal destiny depends on it. Listen as we talk through ways you can examine your own heart to see if you have merely head knowledge, or a truly saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Anytime anyone who is called to step out in faith and do something for the Lord, there is a chance that there will be suffering and hardship. The reward for obedience is great, but we must be aware that the enemy will work against the calling and work we do for Christ as His servants.

It's the final Sunday before the New Year, and most resolutions will be made with self in mind. There's nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself, but we cannot forget God's will for our lives is perfect, and we live our best life when we are in submission to and dependence on Him alone.

There is a peace that goes deeper than simple absence of conflict or anxiety. Beyond a sense of accomplishment. There's a peace available to you that transcends feeling like "all is well" in life. We know that it comes from Christ, and this Sunday, we'll see how He gives it so freely.

Thanks to God's sovereignty, we can trust that His plans are good. Because Christ is the greatest treasure , we can rejoice regardless of our circumstances. Guest speaker Michael Swindell shows us from God's word how Joy in the long-expected Messiah is such an integral part of our advent celebration.

"Speak the truth in love," we've all heard it said. Too often we withhold one of the two. Christ's coming to earth was God's perfect example of truth combined with love, and His purpose was to save us from our sins and draw us to Himself.

We begin our advent series anticipating the celebration of Jesus Christ. Pastor Steve looks at the hope we have in the promises of God, and the greatest promise being the Savior, Jesus Christ. His coming demonstrates that we can place our hope in God and trust that His promises will be kept.

This week, we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. While it brings to mind joyous things like gathering with family and friends, having a big meal, and resting from work, God wants us to know that a thankful heart opens the door to joy and satisfaction in Him.
