For many, Christmas and Baby Jesus is a neat idea that dropped out of the sky. Boom! It's a cute story full of angels and shepherds and pretty songs. It is actually a great story and the arrival of Christ is only the next chapter in an unfolding work of God's promises to heal and restore creation from sin and death. We know that everything can be dark but do we understand how important that is to the true message of the Advent Season? Join us for the second part of our Advent series.

What is the first thing you do when you enter a room? No matter what needs to be done in that room, the first thing you normally do is turn on the light. Join us as we prepare to begin the Advent season. Discover the important light of faith that makes seeing everything else possible.

Don't covet anything! That is an interesting way to end the ten commandments, but why end with that? Covet has a unique place in our human struggle. Do a little digging and you may find that the fruits of sin grow out of the roots of coveting.

Jesus said he was the truth. It would only make sense that his followers and truth people, telling truth and calling others to the true story. Bearing a false witness means calling people to believe something untrue. Lets learn how to get out of that cycle and enable others to live the life-giving story of Christ.

Humans are known for doing many terrible things but what is the first thing the Bible shows us doing? Was it lying or murdering or committing adultery? The first thing we do is steal something that doesn't belong to us. We are takers at heart. No wonder the ten commandments include, "Don't Steal."

Of all the things God could have put in the 10 commandments, why did he include adultery? Why wouldn't he command something a bit more broad if he wanted to talk about sexual goods and bads? There is something at the heart of adultery that is at the heart of God and how he relates to us. Join us as we continue our series.

From TV shows to books to movies we do like murder. And, we like to get away with it. Join Paul as we unpack this difficult commandment and see how Jesus gets to the heart of our problem.

The more important the journey and the more important the destination the more vital are signs along the way. God has given us a sign that both looks back and leads forward. Join Paul today as we unpack the ideas of Sabbath and rest in a weary and lost world.

A good door swings on good hinges. It is the hinges that make access to what is on the otherside of the door possible. The ten commandments have a hinge right in the center that connects two sides, the 5th commandment, to honor your father and mother. Join us today and see how the home is to open up to us what it means to love God and love others.
