Good News and Great Joy | Hope in the Dark

Life can feel heavy, especially when we find ourselves walking through seasons of pain, uncertainty, or loss. The Christmas story reminds us that Jesus was born into a world filled with darkness, suffering, and fear. His arrival brought light that could not be overcome.

The Christmas Table

Christmas is the story of grace, an invitation to a seat at God’s table. Freely given and full of hope.

Good News and Great Joy | Good News

The Christmas story is all about the Good News of Jesus. Mary & Joseph, the shepherds, the wisemen, King Herod...It's such a good story.
But we can miss the real reason for the season if we get caught up in all the busyness and cultural stuff. We need to slow down and really think about this Good News.

Good News and Great Joy | Mary's Song

Pride has a subtle way of slipping into our lives. It shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and even how we approach God. Mary’s song tells a different story. From a humble heart, she celebrates a God who lifts the lowly, opposes the proud, and fills those who know their need. Her response invites an honest look at how pride crowds out grace, and how humility makes room for Christ and the joy He brings.

Selfish to Selfless

It’s easy to make life all about us, our plans, our comfort, our image. But Jesus invites us to something better: choosing humility, noticing people, and serving in the small everyday moments.

Generational Thinking | Investing Eternally

Earthly treasure fades, but what we invest into God’s kingdom lasts forever. When we loosen our grip on what won’t last and fix our eyes on Jesus, our choices, generosity, and obedience become treasure that endures.

Generational Thinking | The Race

Our lives and our walk with Jesus are like a race. We run it well when we lay down what weighs us down, deal with the sin that trips us up, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as our strength and example.

Generational Thinking | Parenting on Purpose

Parenting on purpose means showing our kids what it looks like to love God and live for Him, and teaching them to do the same.

Generational Thinking | The Multi-generational Church

The body of Christ is strongest when generations come together, learning from one another, serving side by side, and pursuing one mission.

Generational Thinking | The Family Tree

You can’t choose your family tree, but you can choose what grows from it. God gives us the power to break cycles of the past and plant new roots for the generations to come.
