As we begin a New Year, we’re diving into Philippians 3:7-14, a passage that challenges us to evaluate our priorities, reflect on God’s faithfulness in the past, and press forward into His plan for the future. While millions of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, only a small percentage stick with them because real, lasting change requires more than willpower—it requires transformation. Today, we’ll explore what it means to "forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead" as Paul teaches, making Christ our ultimate goal in 2025!

As we celebrate the fourth Sunday of Advent, we're reflecting on the true meaning of LOVE. While Hallmark Christmas movies entertain us with tales of romance and holiday cheer, they often portray a fleeting, feelings-based love. In contrast, the love of God, shown through the gift of Jesus, is steadfast, sacrificial, and transformational. Join us as we explore 1 John 4:9-10 and uncover the depth of God's agape love, a love that steps into the mess, sacrifices, and stays. Let’s discover how this love changes everything!

In this week’s message, we dive into the Advent theme of PEACE. Luke 2:10-14 gives the profound announcement of the angels: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased.” But what does true biblical PEACE look like? Is it simply an absence of conflict, a sense of inner stillness, or is it something deeper? Join us as we uncover how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, not only brings reconciliation but anchors us in the storms of life.

This time of year, we’re surrounded by lights, traditions, and the promise of joy. But for many, the holiday season also brings moments of searching—searching for meaning, peace, and hope. In Isaiah 9:2-7, we’re reminded of a powerful truth: Jesus is the great light that shines in the darkness, offering hope that is grounded, unshakable, and eternal.

In this week’s message, we explore what it means to anchor our lives in biblical hope—a confident expectation rooted in God’s proven character and promises. Whether you’ve found yourself wandering in the darkness or placing your hope in things that don’t last, this is an opportunity to rediscover the ultimate hope found in Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Take a moment this week to realign your heart with the HOPE of Advent!

In this final week of our series, we look at essential role of community in the Christian life. Justin discusses how following Jesus is inherently a communal journey, illustrating how spiritual growth and transformation occur most effectively within smaller groups. By examining the layers of relationships as outlined by social science research, we see that true discipleship cannot be achieved in isolation. Rooted in scriptural teachings and enriched by insights from religious thinkers, this message encourages the congregation to embrace their church family, committing to spiritual maturity and relational growth together.

We are encouraged to adopt this servant-hearted mindset, finding opportunities to bless others through small, intentional acts of kindness. This message reminds us that following Jesus involves a commitment to serving others, transforming our communities through humble love.
