Jesus tells us that the way we connect with heaven is to pray. In other words, the way to get up to heaven is to get down on our knees in prayer.

What James wrote about 2000 years ago continues to apply to us today. Seek God while you Watch/Listen to the final part of our “Seek” series.

Many people don’t believe they could be loved by God because of the mistakes they make in life. We find forgiveness by seeking Jesus.

In today’s sermon, Pastor Erin explains how we should Choose Hope during the Holidays – even when hope isn’t the obvious choice.

In this sermon from our Advent Series, Pastor Erin shows the difference between knowledge and wisdom through the story of the Wisemen that visit Christ’s birth.

The shepherds were often social outcasts making the fact that the shepherds were the first to be told of Christ’s birth even more interesting and meaningful.

We often try to fill our need for contentment with new things. Yet, while purchases can provide temporary contentment, it always fades.

At the beginning of Mark 13, Jesus and his disciples have “The Olivet Discourse.” One of the disciples remarks at the beautiful stonework on the new temple.

When a poor widow gives all she haves, Jesus marvels about her gift. The amount she gave was great due to the incredible sacrifice that accompanied that gift.

Generosity is not supposed to be disposable or temporary. Generosity should be repetitive and intrinsic just like blinking or breathing is to each of us.

The grace that overflows from God to us so freely should manifest in our giving freely of the abundance we have. Through this, we reflect God’s heart to others.

2 Corinthians 9:7 ends with “for God loves a cheerful giver.” Why is cheerful giving hard? How do we overcome the baggage that keeps us from giving cheerfully?
