Hiding in plain sight. Ever heard that phrase? It’s true of the Christmas message. Seen in cards, heard in songs, even glimpsed in a holiday movie here or there—but often completely missed by those who need it most. It’s easy to decry the commercialization of Christmas, or complain about the rush of the holiday. But we often miss the message too. At Christmas, God reminds us that His ways are not our ways and invites us to look carefully at how He often works in our lives. Join us this week at GraceLife for “The Missing Message of Christmas.”

Christmas was not a surprise. One of the opportunities the birth of Jesus offer us is fresh appreciate of the detailed prophecies concerning the arrival of our Savior. How do we know Jesus is the ONE? It’s not a lucky guess, a stab in the dark, or some fortune-cookie-like prediction that anyone could fulfill. No, Christmas was God’s rescue plan breaking through time and space. We call it Christmas but it was nothing less than fulfilled prophecy. Join us for our Advent series this week at GraceLife. Christmas, Prophecy, and Hope.

Are we gonna make it—to the very end? Sadly, some Christians answer “maybe,” “I hope so,” or even “I’m not sure” to that question. What would you say to them? Is that a healthy outlook on the Christian life: living with low-grade anxiety, doubt, and fear? Is it true? The Bible offers a more confident, joyful, and courageous path. In Christ, we’re inseparable and invincible. Can you believe it? Come hear all about it at GraceLife this week and argue yourself into assurance.

Invincible. It means too powerful to be defeated; incapable of being overcome. Unconquerable. It’s the description God gives to those who take refuge in his son, Jesus. But if we’re honest, that moniker doesn’t always stick. Lots of times we feel defeated, afraid, overpowered, and outnumbered. God understands. That’s why He gives us multiple arguments from various authors with robust arguments. One of the most powerful comes at the end of Romans chapter 8, where Paul says something so over-the-top encouraging, people have tattooed it on their bodies, stenciled it on their walls, and had it engraved on their tombstones. Wanna hear it? Join us this Sunday at GraceLife for our final message in Romans 8. Invincible. #BestNewsEver!

One of the most formidable promises in the Bible appears near the end of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Rome. He was writing to a church in a cultural crisis. He was calling them to honor Jesus in a culture that honored self. He was declaring Jesus as Lord in a culture that declared Caesar Lord. He was challenging them to follow Jesus exclusively in a culture that believed in multiple gods and goddesses. The power we need to take such a counter-cultural stand comes through God’s promises. Paul knew that. Join us at GraceLife this week for “God’s Greatest Promise, Part 2.”

Every second Sunday of the month, we hear a testimony from one of our members. It could be a testimony of how they came to faith, or any other instance where they saw the goodness of God in their life.

We live in a world when society tells us to “follow our hearts” or “just go with what you feel”. Although our feelings have purpose oftentimes our feelings or our desires can contradict what we know to be true in Gods word. Join us Sunday as we talk about how we can plant our feet firmly on what we know versus what we feel.
