12/11/22 – Advent Week 3 – Peace
We all know the song “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and have memories of Christmas past wrapped up in the opening notes. Those sweet chords usher in a bit of peace amid a chaotic and turbulent world. Of course, this peaceful state of mind is fleeting for most of us. From where and how does true

11/27/22 – Advent Week 1 – Prophecy
We have kicked off our “5 week” Advent Series that will take us all the way to Christmas Eve.

Peace on Earth Isaiah 9:6–7 (ESV) — 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

12/13/20 – Advent – Joy
As we head into week 3 of our Advent series, we take a look at Joy. Joy, closely related to happiness, is much more than a feeling; it is the absolute assurance in the promises of God, producing an attitude of hope and praise. We will examine the encounter of two pregnant women, Mary and
12/06/20 – Advent – Faith
We look this week at Mary and her conversation with the angel. She had faith in what God was saying, despite the difficulties that would come with her circumstances. We can have faith that God will carry us through our difficulties as we place our faith in Him
