Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that the greatest gift this year and every year is Emmanuel - God with us. God came to be with us, and that means we can have peace in all seasons and all circumstances.

Pastor Conrad Bess preaches on the wisemen and what we can learn from their pursuit of encountering Jesus. How attentive are we to the voice of God this Christmas season? Are we more concerned with the traditions, or our worship of the King? Take a moment to pause before Christmas and remind yourself of Jesus; the actual thing you are looking for this Christmas.

If you fully surrender your life to God, His good plans might just ruin yours. God might change your plans but He doesn’t waste anything. Make plans, and then hold them in open hands, because what we really want is what God has for us, with the people He provides for us, and His presence going with us.

In the final week of our Kingdom Builders series Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that a full life is one that focuses on building our eternal purpose, not just building our own comfort. When we handle our finances God’s way there is no limit to the eternal impact we can make.

Faith is not just believing God is real, it’s trusting that God will move. Faith does not maintain, it multiplies. Stewarding our money the way God tells us to is not about the church needing your money, it’s about finding freedom in trusting God with your finances.

Pastor Shawn Johnson gives a 30,000 foot view of giving God’s way in the Bible. Our giving is less about money than it is about our heart.

This week, Pastor Ryan Wekenman reminds us that the Bible isn’t just a good book. The Bible is the true and inspired Word of God. Learn why you can trust Scripture completely and how bringing God’s Word into your toughest moments changes everything. The Bible can be trusted and it is your greatest weapon in the battles you face.

Pastor Doug Wekenman preaches on the human condition and our tendency to waste a lot of time and energy worrying about our lives. If we truly believe God is who He says He is, we can live more free and more alive because we have confidence that He has already taken care of the worries we face.

Pastor Shawn Johnson shares a vulnerable message about the fires he is walking through. He reminds us that when the fire gets hot we don’t have to fear the flames because when we choose to lean in and crack back, there is purpose in every fire we walk through.

How do we keep fighting when things get really tough? To be really good at not quitting we need to surround ourselves with people who serve God, trust God no matter how things turn out, and choose to worship through our trials.
