Christmas Under Wraps Pt. 2 - This message unpacks why the gospel announcement of the birth of Jesus is good news and not good advice, and also explores why Matthew's gospel begins the exciting story with... a dusty old genealogy?!?

We're kicking off our Advent 2025 sermon series, Christmas Under Wraps, with a look at light. Isaiah's messianic prophecy described the arrival of the coming King as a time of "dawning light." How is the Light of Jesus still active in our lives and our world today?

It's not just the Trinity that's a complex and mysterious part of the Christian faith! There are many things that Christians believe that require an acceptance of mystery and a reverence for God. Let's use the scene of Moses at the burning bush as a case study for how to approach the more mysterious parts of life with God.

The concept of the Trinity is one of the great mysteries in the Christian faith. But, it can feel overly confusing, and not applicable to our lives. This message encourages us to think differently about what the Trinity can teach us about God and ourselves!

Changing from the Center, Pt 10: We finish this sermon series by looking at ways to make this journey of formation longer than just the ten weeks we've spent focusing on these themes. What do a plan and posture for ongoing formation look like?

Changing from the Center, Pt 9

Changing from the Center, Pt 8: We all want control. Some more than others. In some areas more than others. But, is clinging to control a sign of idolatry? Let's look at the issue of control through four biblical lenses.

Changing from the Center, Pt 7: We are encouraged so many times in the Bible: "Do not be afraid." Is it really possible to live a life that is never "shaken" by fear? What does it look like to walk through fear while maintaining an obedience to God... and even growing in the process?

Changing from the Center, Pt 5: How do our experiences with pain, hurt, struggle, and suffering speak to our souls? Are we open to God teaching or testing us in those times in order to grow in wholeness and holiness?

Changing from the Center, Pt 5: Are we allowing the truth of Scripture to define our reality? And, can we see the divine reality of the Kingdom of God emanating from our lives?
