Seeing the Significance

As human beings, we struggle to see the true significance of things. But the claims of Christmas in Bethlehem are worth our time to stop and consider its significance. As we explore its significance, you’ll hear about people who passed over the artwork of the street-artist Banksy and how Salt Bae was jockeying for significance.

Unto Us: Light of the World

The people walking in darkness…
Do you ever feel like the darkness in this world is TOO normal? Have this underlying suspicion that everything is not the way it is supposed to be?

As we continue in Isaiah 9, we explore “Jesus, the Light of the World”. You’ll hear about Pastor John’s late night fights with a car, the battle of Helms Deep, and how Advent givese us hope in the darkness.

Unto Us: Prince of Peace

What are you willing to do to get some peace? How far will you go? What will you try? We spend most of our lives trying to GET peace.

During Advent we are reminded that we are given peace. It comes to us. It is for us. When the angels sing to the shepherds, they say, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth PEACE to those on whom his favor rests."

Gather with us as we explore how Jesus is the Prince of Peace.

Unto Us: Mighty God

Christmastime provides a needed distraction and escape from the busyness, trials and even the darkness of our world. Butif Christmastime is only an escape, are we missing what it is really about? Gather with us as we start our Advent season, and Pastor John open Isaiah 9 to explore light shining in darkness.

How do you see it? | Samson (Judges 13-16)

How do you see it? We often think Samson's story is about his strength, but behind that is a mindset that says "I see it how I see it. I want what I see. I will live my truth." 

Explore the story with us!

Check out the series in Judges:

You Don’t Get Me (gods on the side): Judges 10-11

Have you ever felt like someone didn't get you? As the people of Israel descend further and further into chaos, we see that they really don't get God. And neither does the judge Jephthah that is chosen to lead them.

God in the Story (Judges #6)

Have you ever seen the movie Dumb and Dumber?

There's this great line where Jim Carrey's character asks a woman, "What are our chances?"

She says, "Not good." He responds, "Like one in a hundred."

She grimaces, "More like one in a million."

He smiles and says, "So you're telling me there's a chance."

Carrey's character flips the script on the story.

In Judges chapter 8, Gideon flips the script on God's story and makes it all about him. Do we ever do the same?

God-Confidence (Judges #5)

How would you live if you had confidence you wouldn’t fail?

 

We are all looking for self-confidence, a feeling that "I can do this!" But what happens when we can't?

 

Today we look at pt 1 of the story of Gideon, a man marked by fear and doubt.

God Fights the Battle (Judges #4)

Life is always a battle. That's not all it is. But the battle is always there.

 

Do you resonate with this? As Christians, we have enemies of the world, the flesh and the devil. So no wonder life is always a battle.

 

But the good news is that God is in the battle, and he will win. As we open up Judges 4 today we'll see how God delivers Israel through Deborah and Barak, and how he delivers the battle to them, because God fights the battle.
