Are you a “can’t stop, won’t stop” kind of person? 

Is Christmas stressing you out? Christmas- it’s supposed to be a season of celebrating the birth of Jesus. It’s a time of peace and love. But let’s be real: it’s also a season loaded with expectations. Some of those expectations are self-induced, while others come from family and friends. Before you know it, you’re stressing, worrying, and hustling to make “Christmas” happen. All of that leaves you feeling anything but peaceful because you’re caught up in the grind. 

But here’s the good news: the grind doesn’t have to steal your Christmas. In the Bible, we see Mary prioritizing relationships and savoring the moment while her sister, Martha, was focused on work. This week, we’ll hear the finale of “The _____ That Stole Christmas, Part 4: Grind”, exploring how the grind can impact your faith.  

Join us this week as we learn how to shift our focus away from being busy to truly cherishing the season- prioritizing what matters most over the “work”.

Have you experienced loss?

Are you wondering how you’ll find the strength to celebrate Christmas this year? Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the heartbreak of unfulfilled hopes and dreams, grief can feel like an overwhelming weight. Sometimes, it doesn’t fade entirely, and the Christmas season can magnify those painful waves of sorrow.  

If this is where you are, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling.

Grief can be especially challenging around the holidays, but it doesn’t have to steal your Christmas. In fact, your grieving heart needs the hope and truth of Christmas more than ever. This week, in “The _____ That Stole Christmas, Pt. 3 Grief”, Pastor stu will share three powerful parallels between the emotion of grief and the message of Christmas, which will bring comfort, encouragement, and hope to your heart.  

Join us this week as we discover the hope and beauty of Christmas—even in the midst of sorrow.

Grumbling or Gratitude—What’s Your Default Response?

Has complaining ever really improved your circumstances? Do you ever find yourself complaining every time something happens? Whether it’s the weather not cooperating, the driver in front of you on the highway going too slow, or your kids leaving a mess (again), it’s easy to let irritation turn into grumbling. But here’s the thing- a spirit of grumbling not only affects you, it can create a toxic atmosphere for those around you.

But what if you chose gratitude instead? Gratitude has the power to shift your perspective and preserve the joy, peace, and purpose of the Christmas season. Every challenge is an opportunity to trust God more deeply. 

Join us this week for “The _______ That Stole Christmas, pt. 2: Grumbling”, as Pastor Stu dives into the root of grumbling and shares how we can turn those grumble-worthy moments into opportunities to grow in trust and faith.  

Don’t let grumbling steal your Christmas—choose gratitude instead!

What’s threatening to steal your Christmas?

Ever had someone offend you? It’s easy to dwell on the hurt, replaying the situation over and over. The next thing you know, you’re holding a grudge. And a grudge? Well, it doesn’t just linger- if you’re not careful, it can steal your joy, disrupt your peace and grow a root of bitterness in your heart.   

But there’s a better way. Instead of holding onto that bitterness, you can choose to let it go. This week, in our new series, “The ______ That Stole Christmas, Part 1: Grudge”, Pastor Stu will unpack how holding onto resentment not only weighs us down but also robs us of the peace and joy God wants for us. He’ll share the life-changing, biblical truth of letting go of offenses and choosing forgiveness.   

Don’t miss this inspiring message about laying down the offenses in your life and experiencing freedom from bitterness.

**What are you believing God for in 2025?**

What would happen if you “stepped up”?

Stepping forward and taking a risk can feel daunting, right? Yet this is exactly what God calls us to do. Without faith, it’s impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6) In the Bible, Peter boldly stepped up with the eleven apostles, raised his voice to the crowd, and preached. The apostles stood with him, and God moved powerfully through them. When we stand together and step forward in faith, there’s no limit to what God can do. 

This week, we conclude our “Heart for the House” series with Part 4, “They Stepped Up.”  Pastor Stu will inspire us with stories from the Bible and modern times, showing how God uses those willing to step up to advance His mission. We have an amazing opportunity to put our faith into action, believing that God is going to use our obedience to reach even more people for Jesus. 

Don’t miss this transformative message about faith, trust, and the incredible things God can do when we "step up".

Can you multitask well? 

Some things you might juggle with ease, while others require more focus. But God? He’s the ultimate multitasker! Not only does He meet every need, but He also enables us to trust Him. This season, we’re called to be both grateful and to strengthen our faith. The reason that we can be grateful AND build our faith is because we serve a God of abundance. He can do far more than what we can imagine! 

This week, in “Heart For The House, Part 2 - We Can Do Both”, Pastor Stu shows us how God is able to bless you with what you need and with more than you need so that you will abound. Join us as he encourages us to seek God, grow in faith, and embrace gratitude in this special season.

What will your kids wear today?

Have you ever let your kids choose their own outfits? Chances are, they picked something mismatched or out of season. As a parent, you likely step in to approve or choose their clothes because you know what’s best. While teaching them to dress appropriately is important, there’s something even more crucial that they need to "wear"—and it has nothing to do with their clothes. Beyond clothing, there are deeper, more important things your kids need to “wear”—values that will shape their character and last a lifetime.

In Part 3 of “Fam, Now Streaming”, Pastor Stu encourages parents to “clothe” their kids with three essential spiritual concepts. These will equip your kids to know, love, and serve Jesus in a culture that denies truth and absolutes. Join us this week for a powerful message that will challenge and transform your approach to parenting, offering profound Biblical insights and truth to guide you.
