Christmas is more than a moment—it's the declaration that God's love moved toward us.

In the final message of our In the Fullness of Time series, Pastor Paul invites us to slow down on Christmas Eve and behold the relentless love of God revealed in Jesus. A love that doesn't wait for us to get it right, but pursues, forgives, and restores.

Whether this season feels joyful, complicated, or heavy, this message reminds us that God sees you, knows you, and has come near to you in Christ. From the manger to the cross, Christmas tells one unchanging story: love has come for you.

What does joy look like when life feels heavy or unfinished? In this message from our In the Fullness of Time series, Pastor Paul explores biblical joy—not as forced positivity, but as a deep confidence rooted in God's presence. Joy isn't dependent on circumstances changing; it's grounded in the truth that God is good here and now. If you're feeling worn down, distracted, or running on empty, this message invites you to rediscover a joy that can endure real life.

What do you do when life doesn't turn out the way you hoped? When the situation doesn't change, where do you turn? In this message Pastor Justin explores the difference between hope "that" and hope "in." While optimism depends on circumstances, Christian hope is anchored in Jesus. If you're walking through pain, uncertainty, or a hard season, this message is a reminder that real hope can endure even when answers don't come quickly.

Life feels chaotic, unpredictable, and heavy — and many of us are desperate for peace. In this message, Pastor Paul unpacks why Jesus is called the Prince of Peace and how we can experience a deep, lasting calm that doesn't depend on our circumstances. If your soul feels unsettled, this message is for you.

In a world that constantly tells us we need "just a little more," Jesus offers something deeper and far better. Pastor Scott explores the story of the rich young ruler and shows us why contentment isn't found in possessions, circumstances, or success — but in the love of the Father. If you're exhausted by comparison, consumerism, or the ache of not feeling "enough," this message is for you.

Waiting is one of the hardest parts of life — especially when we feel stuck, uncertain, or desperate for change. In this message, Pastor Paul unpacks Psalm 130 and shows how God uses seasons of delay to form patience, deepen trust, and reshape our hearts in the fullness of His timing. If you're in a place of waiting, this message will help you see that God is working even when you can't see it yet.

In a season marked by hurry, pressure, and entitlement, Pastor Josh reminds us that true gratitude is born from truly seeing the grace of God. Looking at the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, we explore how pursuing the Giver, practicing worshipful gratitude, and remembering His faithfulness can reshape our lives. This message invites us to slow down and recognize the grace that's been right in front of us all along.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this message, guest teacher Ayren Nelson closes out our Habits of Grace series by helping us see that following Jesus means going where He would go—and loving who He would love.

Through the story of the road to Emmaus, we see how Jesus models what it means to walk with people, listen to their stories, feel compassion, and point them back to Himself.

Whether sharing your faith feels natural or intimidating, this message reminds us that witnessing isn't a duty—it's a grace. It's an invitation to join Jesus in what He's already doing in the lives of others.

What if the path to true greatness isn't power or recognition—but service?

In this message, Pastor Tyler challenges us to rethink what it means to be "great" in the kingdom of God. Drawing from Mark 9, he explores how Jesus redefined power, influence, and love through the posture of a servant. Whether serving feels natural or difficult ("downstream" or "upstream"), this practice shapes us into people of love who reflect the heart of Jesus.

We all feel it — that gravitational pull toward more. More stuff, more comfort, more control. But what if the way to real freedom isn't in getting more, but in giving more?

In this message, Pastor Paul wraps up our Habits of Grace series by exploring the grace habit of generosity — not as a duty or donation, but as a response to the generosity of God. Discover how returning to God a portion of what He's given you can actually open your heart, reshape your priorities, and lead you into a deeper experience of joy and freedom.
