When making a purchase, we love to see the words "satisfaction guaranteed." Wouldn't it be great if life came with that same warranty? One of our greatest desires is to be able to look back on our lives and feel truly fulfilled--fully satisfied that we have lived a life of purpose and meaning. Jesus promised to empower us to live life to the fullest. Not that life would be free of difficulty, but rather, amidst the challenges of life, we would still experience joy, peace, and deep fulfillment. But how can we experience that life? John Ortberg writes, "The heart of Christianity is about transformation--about a God who isn't just concerned with our 'spiritual lives', but who wants to impact every aspect of living. It's realizing that God meets us, not in a monastery, but on Main Street, and that all of everyday life has the potential to be lived as if Jesus himself were the one living it." Join us beginning on January 13th as we talk about 8 core practices that will transform you and give you the life you have always wanted. As your life is transformed by Jesus Christ, He promises you that you will experience true fulfillment--satisfaction guaranteed!

You've messed up. You've blown it. And so now you think that you have forfeited God's blessings and that you just need to trudge through the rest of your life reaping the hard consequences of an unblessed life. But is that How God views your life? When God says He redeems us, does He only forgive the debt of our sin, or can He actually bring good from our failures?

A New Years sermon from Rev. 21

The fourth sermon in the Advent Series: LOVE

The trappings of the season often distract us from the reason. If you're tired of the holidays by the time it's Christmas, then you haven't been celebrating Advent. What is Advent? Let's start with what it's not. Advent is not decorations, shopping, wrapping, pictures, parties, stressing, or the receiving of gifts. Advent is waiting, expecting, observing, praying, hoping, and preparing for the arrival of Christ, first as Child and Savior, and then as returning King. The Advent tradition is observed the four Sundays before Christmas when we commemorate Christ's birth and anticipate Christ's return. It's intended to clear our minds of holiday distractions by preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. The holidays may bring the burden of expectations but Advent brings the Joy of expectation. Instead of longing for Christmas to be over, start longing for Christ to arrive. Contemplate and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas -- Advent, a season of anticipation.
