Today we dig in to the angels' message to the shepherds in Luke 2, "good news of great joy for all people." There is no news like that of Jesus. There is no better message. There is no more important announcement. Discussion questions are provided for your house church (also below).

We take a break from the hustle and the bustle of the holiday season to focus on what the baby in the manger truly represents: an overturning of worldly values, an entrance to this world that demonstrates how God is with the humble. The story of the Magi reminds us to bring King Jesus our gifts of worship.

The churches of Coastal LA come together to celebrate Jesus' birth! There will be a special dramatic presentation, and a sermon on the topic "Immanuel."

The teen ministry takes over the worship service today, leading us in worship and helping out with the lesson about the nighttime interaction between Nicodemus and Jesus in John 3. We are reminded that when we come into the light we are free to truly be ourselves, and Jesus came to save us, not to condemn us.

We will be exploring the power of gratitude to transform our perspective. Thankfulness can affect your health, life expectancy, level of happiness, productivity, and resilience in dealing with difficult situations. No wonder the Bible has a lot to say about it!

Join us as we explore the transforming power of love as displayed in the story of the tax collector Zacchaeus from Luke 19.

Our outdoor worship service and Fall celebration, had some Tech issues in the recording so the quality is not our best, but you can still hear the sermonette and personal sharing that was shared.

The way we view God and the world has a profound impact on how we interact with risk, uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, especially as it relates to using our gifts for spiritual purposes. Learn how a shift in perspective can change almost everything and make what you're doing a purposeful joy rather than a cynical grind. (1 Peter 4:10-11).

How should we respond to the times we are living through? What does it mean practically to "offer hospitality to others without grumbling" as Peter prescribed? (1 Peter 4:7-11).

In these times we live in God wants us to partner with him in confidently sharing his words with others. As Peter puts it, "speak as one speaking the very words of God." What does God want us to say, and how does he want us to say it? (1 Peter 4:7-11).
