It’s Christmas Eve! Where does your attention go during the Christmas season? Is it more about Jesus’ birth or about all the gifts and things you have going on in life? If we aren’t careful, we can start with Jesus, but then the attention will shift toward ourselves. As we finish our series, “It’s Complicated,” we examine the complications around Jesus’ birth and the complications for us today as we celebrate His birthday.1) Division2) Travel3) Unforeseen Circumstances4) Accommodations5) Work 

The holidays can be a complicated time where the urgent crowds out the important. This week we look to Ephesians to learn how we can choose our time, use our time, and not waste our time. Just as John the Baptist prepared a way for Christ, we too have opportunities to use our time to prepare the way for Christ, no matter the season! 1) Choose your time wisely2) Use your time wisely3) Don’t waste your time being filled in the wrong spirit

When you are going through grief or loneliness in the Christmas season, it seems like there is no place for you.

Do you have any traditions with family or friends around Christmas time? What about your clothes and attire…do you wear certain clothes when you go home for Christmas?

Do you dream of being success in this life? Do you hope to live the American Dream?

Do you like to get gifts on your birthday? What’s the most meaningful gift you’ve received?

The podcast urges listeners to examine who they truly serve—God or wealth—inviting deep self-reflection on personal priorities.

Have you ever felt like it would be easier for you to live a more isolated life? In this message, we talk about how isolation may feel easier, but it isn’t better.

Have you ever received a gift that you didn’t like? What about a gift that you didn’t expect or know what to do with? As we continue our series, The Good Life, JP teaches us about the gifts we’ve been given by God—our time, talents, and treasures—and how we can best steward them for His glory, the good of others, and our own good.1) The Good Life starts using the gifts we've been given 2) Good stewardship of gifts is rewarded 3) Misunderstanding the goodness of God has grave consequences
