When we think about the why behind Christmas, it can be complicated. A king from Heaven coming to earth as a baby? Why? How? What does that have to do with me? What does that have to do with you?

Fear. The enemy will tempt us to receive and submit to it — convince us to hide it. And if we do, it can hold us back from what God desires for our lives. As believers, we are called to live a life free of fear. But how do we see it the way God does? How do we overcome it? And what steps can we take to prevent it from creeping back in?

Change. It’s rarely easy. But it’s a part of life. And we all handle it differently. Why MUST we experience change? Why do we tend to hate it? And what can we do to best handle it when it comes our way?

"Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him." Wait...what?!?! Making the decision to follow Jesus doesn't mean things will always make sense, but it does mean that won't be the ONLY decision we'll ever have to make. As a believer, it takes daily steps and daily decisions to follow Him, no matter how hard or crazy it may seem in the moment. This week, Tim Ross talks about the decisions we make daily to follow Christ, and the revelation that comes when we choose to stay close to Him.

Each and every one of us battles sin in our lives. And many times, we have the same thoughts as Paul in Romans 7: "I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway." So how do we overcome it? And what steps can we take to break free?

Have you ever been in a difficult season and found it hard to trust in God? This week, we discuss two steps we can take to grow our trust in God, so that we CAN and WILL trust Him when we go through trials and tribulations.

When we make space, He always shows up. This week, along with our friend Michael Bethany, we created intentional time to dwell in the secret place with Him.

It's the most intimidating verse in the Bible. "Go into ALL the world and preach the Good News to everyone." How on earth do we pull this off?! How are we going to do it? And why MUST we do it? Preston breaks down the plan to tackle this command from the Lord.

Unity. God loves it. The devil despises it. And so much, that he goes to endless lengths to divide. How do we identify a spirit of division? And why is unity such a crucial piece to the Kingdom? Preston tackles this and more in a message titled "The Devil Loves Division."

Preston Morrison continues the series "Friends, Family & Foes" with a message titled 'Can You Handle A Nathan?'
