Christmas can be an agonizing time for children as they wait to find out what is in those packages under the tree. When you were younger, maybe there was that one item you wanted for Christmas. You wrote Santa, told your parents, and waited until Christmas morning convinced it was waiting for you under the tree. Then the time comes and it's not there. You want to enjoy the gifts you were given, but there's still the disappointment of reality not meeting your expectations. It can be like that with our Christian walk as well. In this series, Great Expectations, we will see that scripture reveals exactly what to expect as we discover the Reality of Following Jesus.

When we look back at history it is full of notable people, but what makes these people notable? Every great inventor, thinker, philosopher, and world-changer is not remembered for the house they owned, the amount of money in their bank account, the type of car they drove, or even the number of degrees they acquired. They are remembered because of the impact they had on people. A person's legacy is measured not by the things they obtain but by how they have touched the lives of people. What will be your legacy? You may never be a great inventor, or philosopher, but what if there was a way for you to make an eternal impact in a person's life that would ripple out into the lives of people for decades to come? What if I told you it was possible for anyone to leave behind a world-changing legacy?

For decades, processed foods have been a staple of American life. These are foods filled with artificial ingredients and added chemicals to engineer them to be longer lasting, better tasting, and ultimately, worse for us. Our bodies crave natural ingredients, but our routines often favor the convenience of the artificial, prepackaged lifestyle. Our spiritual lives are no different. Traditions and religious customs, though often well-intentioned, can be barriers to genuine Christianity. Our spirit's crave the purity of a life lived for Christ alone, but often we add practices and customs we think are essential for a Christian life when, really, they are anything but. In this series called No Additives, we will be turning to God's Word to remind us of the Sufficiency of Christ as we discover the five ingredients that mark the life of a Christ follower.
