In this last message in our Christmas series we look at Peace. How can we have peace with God and others? And what is our part in striving for it and what is God's part?

At Christmas we celebrate the great gift of God’s love for us. His love for us compelled him to come and make a way for us to know him and be with him forever. The Father sent His Son into the world, in order that the world would be saved through him. Before Jesus went to cross for our sin & rose again for our redemption, he taught his disciples how to love one another.

Christmas celebrates a great demonstration of God’s love for mankind!

This week our Christmas Carol is Joy To The World. Joy is a positive emotion that flows from a revelation, experience, or truth. In this message we talk about how to have Joy in every season.

The Hymn O Come, O Come Emmanuel is a song of hope. It begins with Israel’s dark & desperate season of hope for Emmanuel and it leads to everyone’s hope for the reign of the Righteous King.

The hope we have affects the way we live today.

In this message we discuss God’s heart in celebrating the one!

“Oneness” is possible but it requires: shared vision, shared responsibility, & shared identity (1 Cor 12). Oneness necessitates a heart to humbly serve & embrace each other without walls (Rom 15).

Does our embrace have limits? Do we embrace some better than others? Oneness requires that we learn to widen our embrace.

As we prepare for the transition to one campus & one service let’s remember that the invitation is not to “less work” or “less campuses” it is the distinct call to the synergy and power that comes through “oneness.”

Most races today are tied to a cause. You run to support and raise funds for a particular cause you believe in.

In this message we contrasts the two types of races we run. The race under the Old Covenant VS the race under the New Covenant. The Fear-based Race and The Grace-based Race.
