We continue talking about how we are making space for Jesus by talking about how God makes space in our lives with the only person who can lift our burdens – Jesus.

We consider the ugliness of the surroundings of Jesus’ birth and prophecies, but how His arrival is one of the most beautiful moments of human history. – Isaiah 9: 2-7 | Psalm 96 | Titus 2: 11-14 | Luke 2: 1-20
We look at the world around us and how it reflects our need for a Savior – Isaiah 61: 1-4, 8-11 | Psalm 126 | 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-24 | John 1: 6-8, 19-28

We kick off our annual focus talking about how exciting it is to hear God in Jesus call us into discipleship. Sermon Scripture: Isaiah 2:1–5 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the…
We consider Good Friday together and ask why it had to be this way – why the Cross?
