Every year, sometime around Thanksgiving, Christmas music starts and doesn’t end until after new years. Some songs are silly, while others have meaning and purpose. This year we’re going to look at Christmas songs in a different light… what does the Bible say about what our attitude should be during this holiday time. Join us as we look at three popular songs and find the true meaning of Christmas.
What role should the church play in your life? Does God care whether or not you show up? Do you go to church out of a sense of obligation, does your entire life revolve around the church or do you go to church at all? No matter how you view the church or what role it plays in your life, there is a power and a meaning that can only be realized when you treat God’s house the way he intended. Join us as we tap into those things that are only available in the house of God—community, belonging, and purpose.
In 1965 a half-hour Christmas show entitled A Charlie Brown Christmas first appeared on TV. Appointed director of the holiday school pageant, Charlie Brown ventures out with Linus to buy the perfect artificial Christmas tree. Instead they bring back a pathetic little tree…a real one. The whole experience leaves Charlie Brown feeling depressed and lonely…some of the same emotions that many of us feel as we navigate through the demands of a season driven by shopping, parties and expectations that often go unmet. Join us for a three-week series entitled “A Better Than Perfect Christmas” as we look at what it means to be real in a world preoccupied with the pursuit of perfection.
Everyone is important to God and in His eyes we are all masterpieces. Each person has a unique design and we are each wired for a purpose, the way that God wants us to be wired. We all have gifts, talents, passions and abilities that were given to us by our creator and that we must use because they are rooted in the grace of God.
