The secret to living a joy-filled life is finding contentment. Unfortunately, contentment doesn’t come naturally to anyone. In this message, James MacDonald shares a lesson from the Apostle Paul and explains that contentment is something you can choose in any circumstance.

There’s a secret to being content, and God wants you to know it. Like a wall of protection, contentment can keep you from being assaulted by the ups and downs of everyday circumstances. Discover the four cornerstones of contentment, how to demonstrate them, and what you can do to keep them present in your life.

It’s the No. 1 enemy of peace, and you come by it quite naturally—anxiety. What exactly is this fretful, sleep-stealing, gut-wrenching tendency? And what can you do about it? Well God has a plan. Listen and be filled with hope as you learn to exchange your “dividing cares” for the peace that passes all understanding.

All of humanity wants peace of mind—but actually achieving it is elusive. True peace of mind, found only in Jesus Christ, requires getting rid of the things that get in the way of what He longs to provide. Identify what needs to be rejected and removed in order to experience the peace that passes all understanding. Discover how you can have joy in every circumstance, as you rest in the confidence that God is doing what is best.

Hanging on to the past can keep us from seeing and receiving God’s best for us. As we kick off the New Year, it’s time to let go of anything that’s holding you back. As James MacDonald teaches from Philippians 3, you’ll discover how to let bygones be bygones and strive towards what is ahead.

Want 2017 to be your best year ever? It won’t happen because of your job, or the fact that you lost a couple pounds. To have the best year of your life, you’ll need some biblical truth and a willingness to let bygones by bygones.

Get off life’s rollercoaster and lift your eyes to see what is absolutely certain: Jesus Christ is coming again. This is the great hope of the church. When you know it, believe it, and look for it, you can be encouraged by it. And, as Paul tells the Thessalonians, you can encourage other believers with this confident expectation.

Year after year, “Silent Night” is one of the most popular Christmas songs sung in churches and homes around the world. In this message, James MacDonald takes us to Luke chapter 2 to uncover the biblical truth behind this famous carol.

Getting the most out of the classic carols means more than singing them at Christmastime. When we look beneath the surface, it turns out there are biblical messages waiting to be explored.

“Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” is a well-known carol full of rich language straight from God’s Word. Join Pastor James as he examines the biblical grounds for this popular Christmas tune.
