It is NOW time to begin celebrating the arrival of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. This is much more than just the celebration of a Baby in a manger or gifts under a tree – it is a reminder that on this day the Kingdom of God arrived! The feelings of hope, love, joy, and peace are the true gifts that Jesus brings into our lives. And yet we know that what we are experiencing now can’t compare to what is promised for our future!
Christmas Together Week 3: JOY
December 15, 2022 • Minister Sandy Vargas
Sacrificing our own needs and desires to benefit those of others allows us to grow closer to the heart of God and experience His joy. This week we are reminded that gathering together in community with other believers can be a transforming act that turns our hearts back to God and increases the depth of our joy.
Christmas Together Week 2: LOVE
December 8, 2022 • Minister Terry Fonseca
“Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out windows hope has opened.” Hope opens the opportunity for God’s promises to be seen but it is love that enables us to believe the promises are real and for us. This week we are reminded that God has given everyone the gift of Himself, which is the greatest gift in the world. The gift of the presence of Jesus in our life, to show His love to others.
Christmas Together Week 1: HOPE
December 1, 2022 • Minister Brandon Kellum
The hope of Jesus reminds us that no matter what life throws at us we can trust in His promises to deliver us and to show His love through us. This week we are reminded that even when life seems chaotic, if we center our thoughts and focus on Jesus, we can reconnect to the hope we have in Him.
