Spread Hope

Week 4 • You're Invited

December 22, 2024 • Jonathan Wolfgang

Do you have something that you're carrying around in your life? Is it fear? Perhaps it's bitterness and negativity that can easily be passed onto others. Ask yourself, is what you’re carrying worth catching? This week Wolfgang shares how we carry things around in each of our lives that can impact the ones we come into contact with. The good news is, we can spread positive and uplifting things just as well as the bad ones. Hope, faith, and the good news of Jesus can be just as contagious to others. Join us in spreading the word that God has come and we are made right with Him in believing in His son, Jesus. This is such good news—and good news is contagious.

Jesus in the In-Between

December 29, 2024 • Bryce Goff

Life often feels like it’s lived in the “in-between”—those spaces of uncertainty, waiting, and longing. From the moments after Christmas to the threshold of a new year, we wrestle with what’s next. In Matthew 2, we find Jesus, Mary, and Joseph navigating their own in-between, fleeing danger and seeking refuge in Egypt. What can their journey teach us about God’s faithfulness in our waiting? Join us as we continue our You're Invited series and explore how God works behind the scenes, meets us in our waiting, and reminds us that we are never alone. Whether you’re navigating the space between joy and pain, faith and doubt, or a promise and its fulfillment, this message will encourage you to trust in the God who is always with us—especially in the in-between.

Searching for God Knows What

December 15, 2024 • Scott Scruggs

Deep down, we’re all searching for something. Purpose. Peace. Belonging. Sometimes, it feels like the questions outnumber the answers. But what if the very act of searching reveals something essential about who we are—and who God is? In this message, we’ll explore the journey of the Magi and discover that God isn’t hiding from us. In fact, He’s searching for us too. If you’ve ever wondered if your questions disqualify you from faith, you’re not alone—and this message is for you.

Heart Warming

December 8, 2024 • Chad Hoffman

What happens when our insecurities drive our decisions? This week, Pastor Chad explores the contrasting hearts of King Herod and King Jesus. While Herod clung to his fragile power with fear and control, Jesus embraced humility, love, and an open invitation to all. Herod sought to build his kingdom through force and exclusion, but Jesus invites us into a Kingdom of grace and warmth. In a season marked by celebration and connection, how do we keep our hearts from growing cold like Herod's? Join us as we consider what it means to live with warmth, love, and a heart open to Jesus' invitation.
