Advent-Christmas Sermon Series


Every year, we say we’re going to cut back, simplify, and have a family Christmas that focuses on the real reason for the season – Jesus. But every year, advertisements beckon, the children plead, and it seems easier just to indulge our wants and whims. Overspending, overeating, materialism, and busyness rob us of our peace and joy and rob Jesus of his rightful role as the center of our celebration


This Christmas, cut through the hype that leaves you exhausted and broke at the end of the year. Instead, experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us

Sermon Series:

12/2 - Expect a Miracle
Who is it that brings light to the darkness of the world?

12/9 - Giving Up On Perfect
What does the “perfect” Christmas look like to you?

12/24 - Christmas Eve: Jesus’ Wish List
What does Jesus want for Christmas?

12/31 - By a Different Road
What road have you been walking this past year?
