We kick off our Advent series called "The House of Bread." This series is designed to focus our eyes on the first advent - Jesus birth - so we can prepare our hearts for the 2nd advent - Jesus' return. We pray this series can leave your soul satisfied and filled by his presence.

Today we conclude our category of the Everday by looking at how anxiety can cause grief and how we can not only bring our requests to Jesus, but leave them with Jesus. We are led by guest speaker and former pastor John Onwuchekwa. He leads us through John 4 as we look at a story of a father who gets desperate enough to go to Jesus.
