The Christmas season often stirs a desire to find satisfaction and joy for ourselves and our loved ones, leading us to seek fulfillment in temporary, worldly things. As Christians, we may still face moments of doubt and lose sight of where true joy is found—only in the hope and confidence of Christ. Every decision we make is like placing a “bet,” and to place our bets wisely, we must examine our daily choices to see if they draw us closer to God or deeper into materialism. When we feel the urge to fill a void with quick fixes, we should pause, bring our desires and doubts to the Lord, and trust in His goodness to guide us toward lasting joy.

The Christmas season is meant to be filled with peace, joy, and hope—the good news of Jesus! Yet, in life’s unexpected moments, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by fear, worry, and anxiety. Without realizing it, we may start placing control above trusting in the King of Kings. But how we respond to the unexpected reveals who truly reigns in our hearts. Join us as we explore the stories of King Herod and Joseph in Scripture. While Herod clung to the illusion of control, Joseph faced his fears and chose to trust God’s plan. His response shows us that even in the midst of fear, we can embrace trust over control.

Have you ever chased something—whether it was a relationship, career, or dream vacation—only to find it didn’t satisfy you like you thought it would? We’ve all had those moments of emptiness, wondering, “Is this all there is?

But what if that emptiness is not failure but an invitation? A signal from God that we were created for something greater than what this world offers.

In this video, we explore the truth that you were made for more—more than temporary pleasures or achievements. You were made for a relationship with God, the only One who can truly satisfy your soul.

Do you feel like life lacks meaning or purpose? Often, a self-centered approach can lead us into fear, worry, and isolation, pulling us away from the abundant life God intended. But there’s a better way—one rooted in radical generosity.
At the heart of God’s design is a call to live a life modeled after His Kingdom—a life of generosity, connection, and trust in His provision. Discover what it means to embrace “Garden living,” where we return to God’s original plan and reflect His character in our everyday lives.
Join us on this transformative journey and learn how Jesus invites us to experience the fullness of life through radical generosity!

This week's teaching highlights the importance of seeking "Holy Help" from Jesus, who steps into our brokenness to guide us toward a Kingdom-centered life. In a culture that values self-reliance, leaning into God's Word and practicing daily rhythms rooted in His teachings are vital for spiritual growth. True transformation comes from pouring the right things into our hearts—Scripture and prayer—rather than the harmful influences of the world. By focusing on God's truth, we align with His Kingdom mindset, finding freedom and purpose in His guidance.

In the Kingdom of God, Jesus is our unwavering anchor, offering hope and unity amidst life’s storms. Our hope is firmly rooted in our identity in Christ, while the unity of the Church is strengthened under His name. Each of us is invited to the table of the Lord, encouraged to align with the mind and spirit of Christ. This means examining areas where worldly influences may have distorted our identity in Him, surrendering these at the cross, and embracing the truth of who we are in Christ. If forgiveness or unity feels challenging, reach out for prayer or support. This week, look for one way to display Christ’s unbroken unity within your community.

The Kingdom of God is filled with unwavering hope—a belief that no matter our past, Jesus offers redemption and a secure future. Hope is woven throughout the Bible and is central to the Gospel, nourishing our souls and strengthening us to face life’s challenges. When we anchor our hope in Christ, it influences every area of our lives: our relationships, careers, and dreams. But hope is a choice. It calls us to look beyond worldly distractions to find true strength in the living water Jesus provides, just as He offered to the woman at the well, meeting her without judgment. This hope isn’t private; it’s meant to be shared. Whether you're exploring faith or are ready to take a public step, remember, hope is life-changing and brings peace that flows into every part of our journey.

Hospitality isn’t just about sharing a meal or having a spotless home; it’s about inviting others into our lives, even the messy parts, so they can see Jesus in us. Southern hospitality says, 'Come on in and make yourself at home,' and that’s the heart of Christ too! When we welcome others with love and openness, we make them feel valued and seen – just as God welcomes us. Let’s look for ways to show that same love and let our homes and hearts be a reflection of Jesus. Who can you invite in to experience His love today?

God has made Himself accessible to us through prayer, inviting us to boldly approach Him with our needs and desires. Often, we either underestimate God’s power or doubt our worthiness to pray. Yet, God desires bold, faith-filled prayers—ones that can move mountains and perform miracles, like parting seas or raising the dead. Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that He is able to do far more than we can imagine through His power within us. We are encouraged to make prayer a daily practice and are welcome to join weekly prayer meetings at each campus for deeper connection. Reach out to your campus pastor for more details!
