Most know about God but we want to know Him.  Our guest speaker today, Brian Smith, welcomes us to close out the year with the desire to truly know God.  Listen and hear why we must fight to block out the noise that's all around us filling our lives with distractions so we can hear from and know our Heavenly Father.  

The birth of Jesus changed the world.  As much as we remember the little baby born in a manger we can't miss the powerful details surrounding His birth.  The journey was long, there was no room at the inn and nothing was simple about it.  But, in the end, the blessing of Jesus came.  Listen and hear pastor Griffin share four pieces of encouragement we  find in the story of Jesus's birth.

Mary was chosen to do one of the most important things in the history of the world.  She gave birth to the Messiah.  God has an eternal purpose for all of us.  As we follow Him He leads us to take part in building His Kingdom in our own way.  In this message pastor Griffin walks through how we can pursue our own role in carrying out God's mission.  

Jesus is the most polarizing figure the world has ever seen.  He produces a response in one way or another from everyone.  His birth was exactly the same.  This Christmas we all get to think about how we respond to Jesus.  In this message our student pastor, Thomas Kiger, walks through three ways we can respond to Jesus this Christmas.  

As excited as the Christmas story is for us it was an overwhelming situation for the people involved.  The build up to Jesus being born was anything but simple.  A life following Jesus is not always simple for us either.  In this message pastor Griffin walks through how we can keep our trust firmly in God even when He does the unexpected in our lives.  

We all seek purpose and meaning for our lives.  We want to know we can make a difference in the world around us.  However, many things get in the way of us making that happen.  The last words Jesus shares with His disciples give us a template for what kind of a lasting impact we can make.  This message encourages all believers to pursue the invitation Jesus lays out for us and shows how we can start right now.  

Why does life seem so hard sometimes?  We all know the trials will come but we never seem ready for them.  We often wonder why God would allow us to walk through such challenging times but what if there is a purpose behind them?  In the message today you will be encouraged to walk into the battles you face with a faith that reminds you that God is fighting your battles with you.  

We all love hearing that God has a great future ahead of us.  The challenge is following the path to that future that God has laid out for us.  We often miss out on where He is leading us because we don't want to fail or we struggle to believe that something better is ahead.  In this message Pastor Griffin walks us through a story from the book of Numbers that helps us find the courage to continue moving where God is leading us.  

What is the benefit of belonging to a church?  There are many views on what church is and what it is meant to be but what does God teach us about it?  Acts two shows us why the church is vital to our faith.

Do you ever struggle with where your life currently is?  It's easy to dream about the future but how can we make the most of where God has us right now?  Today's message focuses on a popular verse and shows how the Apostle Paul found contentment even in the worst moments of his life.
