We all have ‘Christmas Traditions.’ They might include foods, seeing relatives, opening presents, or special desserts. But one tradition that has continued on for over 2000 years is the celebration of Christ’s birth. As we gather, we are joining millions of others before us who have celebrated the birth of Christ and the promises of our newborn King. Listen in as we reflect and remember some of the key promises that come with the birth of Jesus.

Jeff continues our series in a message titled: Limited Authority, Unlimited God. It’s true that God has given us a degree of authority (over what we eat, how fast we drive, or how we spend our money), but only Christ holds all things together through His authority over creation, the church, and even our lives. Since Christ has all authority—how can we respond and how can we partner with Him in all things?

Jeff continues our series by looking at one of the cultural lies of our day: ‘You have unlimited power and unlimited potential.’ When connected to Christ, the human heart is capable of amazing things - but even the most capable person is still incredibly limited, especially when compared to our unlimited God. Even more fascinating, Jesus Christ ‘limited’ His power while on earth… What does His example mean for us and what does it teach us about the cross?

Jeff & Natalie start a new series exploring what the birth of Christ can teach us about our human limits, God’s infinite power, and our role in the Kingdom. Listen in as we explore a few questions like: What does it mean to live within limits? What happens if we don’t? And how can embracing our limits help us worship God?

As we continue our series, Jeff looks at what happens when a people group (The Ephesians) encounter the living and powerful God. After some ‘unusual miracles’ were experienced in Ephesus, the people’s response included burning anything that kept them from being fully devoted to God. This begs a lot of questions but one stands out: ‘What do you need to burn in the fireplace of devotion?’

Jeff continues our series by gathering us around ‘The Fireplace of Denial.’ Peter’s denial of Christ is one of the more tragic moments in Peter’s life and from this passage we can ask a lot of questions: What lead up to his denial? How can we avoid making these mistakes? And mostly importantly, how does Jesus respond to me when I falter or turn away myself? Like Peter, may we always know that a denial of Christ doesn’t mean we have to be done with God.

Jeff kicks off a new series this week inspired by the fireplaces we read about in scripture and the fireplaces of our own lives. Simply put: life is shared around the fire. In our first message of the series, Jeff teaches from Acts 28, looking at how ‘The Fireplace of Healing’ draws us into God’s presence but is often found in moments of tragedy.

Jeff wraps our “Together, We Are” series by exploring Ephesians 4 and the phrase, ‘The Body of Christ.’ Jesus united Himself to us as, ‘the head of the body, the church.’ How does this impact our time together and how can we learn to love the church like Jesus? Listen in as we explore these questions, celebrate God’s movement, and learn to grow in health and love together.
