What is church? This question is misunderstood by the world and miscommunicated by the church. There is a right answer to this question.

This season is full of adventures. We are constantly taking this path and that path and at the end of these paths we hope to find some semblance of joy. Oftentimes we are discouraged that after all the running around trying to take care of the things that we’ve always done and sneaking in a little “me” time we can have a night of pure joy. Join us as we read in Matthew 2:1-12 of three paths: Two paths leading to death and destruction while the one path that led to Jesus, the Light of the World, led to joy everlasting.
