How would you live if you knew you had nothing to lose?

Advent is a time for preparation for the arrival of Jesus. John talks about when “God moved into the neighborhood” when He was made man and lived among us.

What does it mean to encourage someone? When you consider the word, it means to put courage IN to someone. As we live our lives as brothers and sisters in Christ, the Word calls us to put courage IN to each other’s lives.

As you prepare your Thanksgiving feast, we invite you to join us for another feast – a feast of grace. This feast is known as Communion and The Lord’s Supper. It is also known as the Eucharist which means, “Thanksgiving.” Not only do we give thanks now, but the Lord Jesus comes to us in this feast, “until He comes.” Join us to celebrate the Eucharist and give thanks for the grace given to you through Jesus Christ.
Christians are often criticized as being too heavenly minded that we’re no earthly good. Meaning, we’re so focused on the end of the world that we’re not concerned about today. The Word of God paints a much different picture of how the Lord calls us to live for the world now! Join us as the Word of God asks us, “what sort of people ought we to be in lives of holiness and godliness?”
“I hope is doesn’t rain.” “I hope I get the job.” The blessed hope, which is yours on account of Jesus, is more than a wish – it’s a promise. Join us as the Word of God equips us to live in confident anticipation of Christ’s return.
