From the series "The Songs of Christmas". Luke 2:1-29 Pastor Ryan Smith continues in our "Songs of Christmas" series as we consider the Angels' song in Luke 2:1-29. What is this peace proclaimed by the heavenly host, who is it for, and how do we find it? Sermon Notes Here

From the series "The Songs of Christmas". Luke 1:57-80 Pastor Isaac Brickner continues our "Songs of Christmas" series by looking at the song of John the Baptist's father in Luke 1:57-80. In the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, we're able to see ourselves and our struggle with hopelessness, and in Zechariah's song: the source of hope for our lives and the difference hope makes.

From the series "The Songs of Christmas". Luke 1:26-56 This week we kick off our next series, Songs of Christmas as we look to opening chapters of Luke's Gospel. Pastor Ryan Smith looks at Mary's Song in Luke 1:26-56 and the joy found in God's Gracious Reversal of our present world order through the birth of Jesus. This song challenges our assumptions of who Mary was and what what Christmas is all about. Sermon Notes Here

From the series "Wisdom's Way".

We mark our 6th birthday with Pastors Lorenzo Smith, Ryan Smith, and Isaac Brickner reflecting on where we’re at six years in and using our current series in Proverbs to call our church family to live out the four core identities of a disciple as responsible followers of Jesus, responsible family members, responsible stewards, and responsible disciple-makers.

From the series "Wisdom's Way". Proverbs 16:32, 25:28, 14:29, 17:27, 4:8 Pastor Ryan Smith opens the back-half of our series in Proverbs: Wisdom's Way by looking at wisdom's chief virtue: self-control. Apart from self-control, our attempts toward the good life depicted in Proverbs will rarely amount to more than the cul-de-sac of desire, aspiration, failure, and shame. In examining Proverbs 16:32, 25:28, 14:29, 17:27, 14:8 and other Proverbs, we begin to see a practical invitation into a life of Wisdom's Way with willpower. Sermon Notes Here
