The Joy of Generosity

November 24, 2024 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht • Matthew 2:1–12

The heart of God is summed up in the word GIVE! From Genesis to Revelation, there’s a constant stream of God’s attribute of being a "giver." We are most like our Father when we practice generosity in every area of our lives.

Generosity is a Matter of Perspective

December 22, 2024 • Pastor Peter Damaska • Matthew 1, Hebrews 12:1–2, 2 Corinthians 8:8–9

The story of Jesus' birth is familiar and is the reason we celebrate. We wish you a Merry Christmas! But, although It's familiar, we don't want to overlook this story. Not only do we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we welcome His generosity, looking at His life in order to live generously toward others like He has for us.

Release Your Future

December 15, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Luke 1:26–38

When you think about the future, how do you feel? Anxious? Confident and expectant? Or perhaps somewhere in between? It's entirely human to feel uneasy about what lies ahead; the uncertainties of tomorrow can often be overwhelming. However, we can find inspiration in the remarkable example of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who generously entrusted her future to Christ and His Kingdom.

Reputation on the Line

December 8, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Matthew 1:18–25

What's your reputation? What are you known for by other people? In the Christmas story, we're introduced to a man named Joseph with a reputation for being a righteous man. In obedience to God, Joseph puts his reputation on the line for Christ and His Kingdom. Does God call on all His followers to give their reputations for His purposes?
