The Gospel writer John says that Jesus came into the world and, for the most part, the world was indifferent to him. He came to his own people (the Israelites) and they did not welcome him but rejected him. We just celebrated Christmas and Jesus coming to us. Are we guilty of the same? Join Pastor Greg as he shares ways in which we have failed to recognize and receive Jesus and how we can remedy that in the upcoming new year.

If you've ever been around young children you know the "why" phase--everything is met with that one question as they try to make sense of the world. At Christmas, we're invited to ask our own "why"; why would God come to earth as a helpless baby, born into poverty, only to die on a cross? Join Pastor Greg as he shares the reason behind Christmas.

Most Nativity sets are cute. They are, after all, how most of us want this time of year to be--safe and warm and cheery, with lowing cattle and humming angels in the background. But behind those cute little Nativity sets there are scandals and public embarrassments that threaten to derail the whole story. Join Pastor Greg as he discusses these scandals and what they can teach us today.

People have all sorts of ideas of what Christmas is all about: spending time with family, or holiday music, or giving gifts. But the bible is clear as to the meaning of Christmas. Join Pastor Greg as he shares what the promise of Christmas is all about.

Christmas, perhaps more than any season of the year, brings out a wide variety of emotions. Many, if not most, of these emotions are positive and good, but Christmas can have its difficult side as well. Join Rev. Fletcher as we discuss the Emotions of Christmas on this First Sunday of Advent.

Jesus tells a few parables describing what God is like. But he is also describing what humanity is like and our desire for our own sense of "fairness." In the second part of the parable of the lost son, Jesus reveals for us a blueprint on how we can avoid judging others and how we can live lives of gratitude.
