Have you every felt like you were "disqualified" from serving in a ministry or even following Jesus? Maybe you thought that you weren't good enough or qualified enough to be a disciple. In today's passage we learn about Jesus being looked down on for his hometown and the power of what God can do with humble beginnings. 

Scripture: John 1:43-51

Aaron gives a message on using wisdom found in Proverbs to help guide our every day decisions, both big and small, as we head into 2021.  The challenge at the end is to ask ourselves, "Is this the wise thing to do?"

What does Epiphany Sunday have to do with setting goals for the new year? Learn about the journey of the Magi and how there planning and intention, which eventually led them to Christ, can be an example for our spiritual growth.

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12

Today we remember Christ's baptism and our own.

Mark 1:4-11

With the start of the new year it is a good time to reflect on the basics of the Christian faith. What are the core teachings from the life and ministry of Jesus and how can people apply those teachings today?

This week's focus is baptism...specifically how does Jesus' baptism and our own baptism give us our identity and how can knowing our identity in Christ help us to unite across differences?

Mark 1:4-11

We talk a lot about "joy" during the Advent and Christmas season but what does it actually mean? Are we joyful because things are going our way and we are happy with our situation or is there a deeper meaning to joy. Today we look at Mary's Song and find a way to be joyful in God no matter our circumstances. 

Scripture: Luke 1:46-55

This week's Scripture passage calls us to "prepare the way" and get ready for a new thing God is going to do. We know what happened in the past but how are we to respond to this call today? Rev. Greg Porterfield helps us get a deeper understanding of this passage as we continue towards Christmas.

Scripture: Mark 1:1-8

During the holidays we spend a lot of time "getting ready". For many of us that means cleaning out our homes to be ready to welcome in family and friends. Advent is also an opportunity for us to "prepare" for Christmas...not by cleaning out our homes but by clearing out and making space in our hearts and spirits for Christ. 

Scripture: Mark 1:1-8

This year our Advent series is "Tis' the Season" and while this "season" might feel different that others there is still work to do. Join us as we: Stay Awake, Prepare the Way, Glimpse the Kingdom, and Let Go of Fear.

This week Pastor David starts off with a call to "Stay Awake" and despite a difficult year be ready for what God will soon be doing.

Scripture: Mark 13:24-37
