O Christmas (Faith)Tree is something very special: a celebratory service at 8:00 p.m. on December 9 that interweaves favorite Christmas carols and songs — both old and new and in a range of styles — with the story of Christmas that runs from Genesis through Revelation.
Join us and our friends at FaithTree partner churches for a continuous rotation of Christmas music, nostalgic fireplace scenes, meditations from Scripture and more throughout Christmas weekend. Whether you want just a few moments of Christmas joy or want to watch the whole thing, it will be streaming 24x7 all Christmas week.
Am I wasting the tools that God has given me to serve Him and others?
God has guided His People over history. As we look at that history, does it tell us anything about how He views us today?
Are we so familiar with Christmas that we miss what it is all about and what we are called to share with others?
Pastor Tim lights the second candle (the Peace Candle) as we continue through a special #52Verses52Books52Weeks journey through Advent. This week, we turn to the Gospel of Matthew.
When God created the earth, it was formless, dark, and empty. This is sometimes how our own lives look before we have the light of Jesus. How do we deal with emptiness and darkness that may feel overpowering?
What is the true Spirit of Christmas? This year, we’re going to be thinking about how the Holy Spirit works throughout the story of Jesus’s coming and what His continued work means for us today.
It’s Advent starting today and Melanie Haynes will help us focus our hearts as the season begins by lighting the first Advent Candle and taking #52Verses52Books52Weeks to the Gospel of Mark.
We’re going to take the 28 days of Advent to read through the Gospel of Matthew. Why read through all of Matthew this Advent? We spend a lot of time talking about Christmas Day, but we want to spend the time leading up to that day thinking about whom it is that we celebrate being born on December 25. Going through Matthew, we will explore the wonder of the gift God gave us by coming into our world two thousand years ago to save us.
