Part 2: Hope

Part 2: Hope

December 3, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • Isaiah 9:6–7, Colossians 1:1–14

Hope is a good thing: for success, good health, better days ahead. But following Jesus takes hope to a far deeper level. It helps us live life from a kingdom perspective — anchoring us in an uncertain world and in the way we love others.

Part 5: Peace

December 24, 2023 • Luke 2:10–14

When life’s plans get wrecked … when God seems silent … when we feel let down, where do we find peace? That’s the story of Christmas, which can ring new every year.

Part 4: Generosity

December 17, 2023 • Philippians 4:10–20

Generosity is certainly an act of obedience to God. But obedience isn’t always the strongest motivator. A generous heart is a joyful, peaceful heart—one that’s always seeking new opportunities to give back to God and to his work in our community and world.

Part 3: Love

December 10, 2023 • Pastor Dave Creek • Matthew 22:36–40, 1 Corinthians 13

At Christmas, we celebrate and welcome the love of God through the birth of his Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. God’s love is what led to Jesus becoming Emmanuel, God with us, while we were yet sinners—eventually leading to his death and resurrection. God’s love is good, and it is that same love God desires for his children to display to everyone.
