We are in a new series that will help prepare our hearts for Christmas and deepen our faith.
So beginning November 8th, we will be exploring the characters of Christmas and learning from them six areas of the Christian faith and how we can become more well-rounded Christians who are living life to the full (John 10:10). Consider it like the river talked about in Ezekiel 47. The stream described gets deeper and deeper until it is unable to be crossed. My hope through this is for me to go deeper in my faith so that I might be a mighty river to be used by God in whatever way he wishes. Take the plunge with us as we examine these areas.
November 28th – Joseph and his holiness.
December 5th – Mary and her contemplation.
December 12th – John the Baptist and his social justice.
December 19th – the shepherds and being spirit-led
December 24th – Jesus who brought the fullness of salvation.
December 26th – the Magi and their dedication to the word.
May God bless you as we study and grow!

“N/A” means that there was no PowerPoint for that morning.
The video files are HUGE so we suggest simply streaming them on your computer instead of saving them. Simply click “Video” and it should open a new window and start playing. Be patient as it loads!
Due to a technical difficulty, the MP3s for John the Baptist and the Magi were not preserved. The videos are available, but the sound quality will not be the greatest. But at least the sermon series is still intact!
