How did Jesus grow after his birth? We’ll explore how God shapes us through ordinary rhythms, hidden seasons, and patient obedience. And we'll see how a New Year is an invitation to recommit ourselves to becoming who God intends us to be. Join us as we look at “Growth with God” from Luke 2:41-52.
Special Guest: Mark Dunker.
As we approach Christmas, this message from Isaiah 54:1–10 invites us to rejoice in God’s steadfast love and unshakable promises. Even after seasons of hardship or waiting, God speaks words of restoration, peace, and covenant faithfulness. Join us as we reflect on the hope that is fulfilled in Christ—the love that will not be removed and the mercy that carries us into joy.
In a season when the world either feels heavy or offers happiness based on circumstances, Isaiah invites us to discover deep, lasting, God-given joy. This week we explore where true joy comes from, how we can experience it in our normal life, and what it produces in us. Join us as we look at "Joy" from Isaiah 12:1-6.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, declared the angels. But where is that peace? When is it coming? Henry Wadsorth Longfellow expressed what many feel when he wrote in 1863 during the Civil War, And in despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of Peace on earth good-will to men.” Doesn’t it seem the same today with war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and through much of Africa as well as unrest in America? Yet, God promises that Messiah, the Prince of Peace, will bring a peace in which there will be no end. Join us as we examine Isaiah 9:1-7, The Prince of Peace.
We live with constant reminders that our world is fragile and broken and we can’t fix ourselves. We live in a kind of constant darkness. As we begin the season of Advent, we focus on the hope that Jesus has come to inaugurate his kingdom of light, life, and goodness. Join us as we look at “Hope” from Isaiah 11:1-9.

Because Christians have been born again by the grace and power of Christ, we are therefore able to walk in Christ. This means growing in discernment regarding what is true and what is right, and being known as people of the light.

Special Guest: Nicholas Piotrowski.
Paul reminds us that because we are new people we can no longer live in selfish immorality, and he warns us that kind of life brings judgment and condemnation. Because we are God's children, our lives should reflect the self-giving love of Jesus. Join us as we look at what it means to "Walk in Love" from Ephesians 5:1-7.
How do you walk in Love? We discuss this along with Ephesians 5:1-7.
Ephesians 4 tells Christian believers to put off the old self and put on the new self. What areas of our daily experience will be affected with this change of spiritual clothing? Ephesians 4:25—5:2 introduces those important changes in our speech, dealing with anger, our attitudes and responses in all ways that we relate to one another. It's about integrating our faith in Jesus with all of life and becoming imitators of God. Join us for Before and After.

As Paul concludes the first half of his letter, he’s moved with awe by the thought of all that God is and has for us in Christ.
