This is the last Sunday before Christmas, the day we celebrate the Advent of Love, the driving force behind Jesus coming to earth. Understanding and grabbing hold of this truth can change everything in life…if we let it!

Sunday we celebrate the Advent of Joy. We will look at it through an honest lens, recognizing that joy oftentimes feels distant and far away… even though it is ALWAYS present with us! How do we connect to it? What are we missing?

This Sunday, we invite you to join us for the second week of Advent, as we reflect on the theme of Peace. Together, we’ll dive into the Scriptures to discover the true source of peace and be reminded of the One who is our peace.

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. It will be a time to slow down and ask God to awaken us to the hope found in Him in this season. If you feel in need of an awakening, if you feel the need of hope in a difficult season, or if you feel like something just isn’t right in your life, I want to invite you to come this Sunday and ask God to open your eyes to see Him in ways you haven’t seen Him in a long time!

God designed us to do life together, just as Jesus did with His closest friends. Living in community is a practice God invites us into because of the way it shapes and impacts us. On Sunday, we will discuss the why and the how, as we take one step closer to becoming apprentices of Jesus!

In our study, Practicing the Way, this week is crucial as we strategize and develop a plan for our spiritual formation, building on the practices we've explored over the past six weeks. In doing this, we dedicate our best energies to the thing we love most, which is relationship with Jesus and becoming more like Him.

Our walk with Jesus would be so much easier if we didn’t have sin to contend with. We all know the inner struggle when we’re faced with thoughts or ideas that go against what we believe to be true or hinder the steps we should be taking in life. When we take a wrong step, we often feel shame, as if walls have been erected in our hearts between us and God. This Sunday, we’ll explore the practice God created to conquer sin and its impact on our lives—the practice of confession. Don’t miss this conversation; it could bring the freedom you've been longing for.

This Sunday, we take our next step in the "Practicing the Way" series. We will be focusing on finding God in pain and suffering. This is an area the church has struggled in, and learning to connect with him in these moments is vital to our ongoing spiritual growth. Hope to see you here on Sunday!

On Sunday we turn our attention to “The Practices," the very things Jesus gave himself to that shaped his life and his relationship with the Father. In learning and practicing them ourselves, the hope is that we become like Jesus, go the rhythm of Jesus, and experience the fullness of Jesus.

This Sunday, we are back at it with Formation Part 2. Now that we know how we are formed unintentionally, let’s learn how we are formed intentionally. This week we will take a look at how our choices can affect the person we are becoming.
