Experiencing peace seems challenging with the news we’re exposed to in our world right now. And then you take all of that and top it off with all of the scheduled commitments, activities, and events that the Christmas season brings and peace can certainly feel like it’s in short supply. What do we do to avoid missing out on a sense of peace this Christmas? And how do we experience peace that lasts longer than just the Christmas season? In this message, we’ll explore those big questions.

Advent: Journey to Christmas
December 24, 2023 • Randy Youngblood
How often do you think about the purpose of Christmas? What Christmas is all about? As we wrap up our Advent series, we’ll examine the question together: Why do we need Christmas? As it turns out, it may have more to do with what God wants for us than what we want this season!
Advent: Journey to Christmas Joy
December 17, 2023 • Justin McPeak
Everyone seems to have some sort of unmet expectations at Christmas. And for many, experiencing joy becomes one of those unmet expectations. This time of year, while we may sing about it and we may read about it, many of us don’t feel like we can actually find joy. And it may be because when we look at our lives, our circumstances really don’t seem all that great! So, this Christmas where can we find joy? In this message, we’ll unpack what God shared with some shepherds one evening nearly 2000 years ago. And that news may make all the difference for you today!
Advent: Journey to Christmas Hope
December 3, 2023 • Justin McPeak • Matthew 1:18–25
When we’re younger, we all know what it’s like to hope for something we really want at Christmas and be disappointed. And yet the older we get, disappointment and feelings of hopelessness seem to amp up. Because we realize Christmas now doesn’t look like those of our past. Or maybe we look at the empty seats around the table and remember who isn’t there. BUT WE ALL WANT HOPE. That’s why this season we start our journey to Christmas with a story of hope that has been passed down from generation to generation! And it starts with a promise.
