The shepherds echoed the song of the angels throughout Bethlehem, giving proclamation and adoration for all they had seen and heard. As we navigate the joys and disappointments, the gifts and the losses, and the anticipations and frustrations of the Advent season, let us look and listen for where God is breaking into the reality of our existence. How do we sing the song of the angels to our world?

Are you a mere spectator to life? Are you settling for the status quo? In Genesis, we see God inviting Abraham to go beyond the confines of his tent, look up at the stars and count them to consider the magnitude of God's promise to him. In our modern world, where we often feel overwhelmed and insulated, stepping out into nature and meditating on the vastness of creation, can recalibrate our spirits and remind us of God's greatness. Pastor Mark encourages us to embrace a mindset of curiosity and seek not only the miracles of daily life but also a profound relationship with our Creator.

Bill Bryson says "We are just a collection of inert components, the same stuff you would find in a pile of DIRT." How does dirt write poems, produce films, make music, design rockets, engineer software, practice medicine, choreograph ballets or patent inventions? The short answer is Genesis 2:7. Genesis 2:7 credits the Lord God as the One who created us, designed us, and animated us. Listen as Pastor Mark explores the miraculous components of LIFE in God's creation.

You are not a cosmic accident, the result of random chance. You are God’s workmanship. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are the image of God, the apple of God’s eye. You were made a little lower than the angels and crowned with glory. Don’t let anyone label you who didn’t make you!

“There are only two ways to live your life,” said Albert Einstein. “One is as if nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is.” Which way are you living? Are you taking things for granted? Or are you taking things for gratitude? It’s time to rediscover a million little miracles that are hiding in plain sight. It’s time to rediscover the God of Miracles—the God who is bigger than big, closer than close, and gooder than good.

Scripture says that you will know know a tree by its fruit. What would someone say about you based on the fruit of your life? Are you introducing people to the nature of Christ through your actions? It’s important that we surrender all we have and all we are to the will of God so that he may guide us in the way of righteousness. Bishop Harvey helps us understand what this looks like and how we are able to draw people closer to Jesus based on how we treat them.

In life there are hierarchies of value, quality and power in many things such as sports, movies, politics, etc. In scripture we see how believers are a part of the mountain of the Lord's temple that will be exalted above all in the last days, with Christ as our high priest. Pastor Zeb reminds us of that which is inferior to the people in Christ, our adversary, the devil. While examining the tactics of the enemy, Pastor Zeb encourages us to always proclaim the power of God's spirit over all influences of darkness and live from a place of victory that was established by the blood of Jesus.

Life can be a process of orientation, disorientation and reorientation. Our natural response is to resist disorientation but what happens when Jesus says things that break social, cultural and religious norms? The answer may surprise us. Pastor Steffen takes us through the gospels of Luke, Mark and Matthew to illustrate God's intentions when we find him in places that may be unfamiliar to us.

The world has yet to see what God can do with one person wholly consecrated to Him. Why not you? Why not now? Our biggest problem is our small view of God. We think that our inability disqualifies us, but God doesn’t call the qualified. God qualifies the called. In the kingdom of God, availability is more important than ability. Join us as we journey through the book of Isaiah and learn how we become a people who says "Here Am I" when God asks who He should send to the nations.

In a world where relationships are transactional and insincere, love is our primary currency for relationships, as followers of Christ. We are instructed to love our neighbors as ourself but how can we love those who offend us or are offended by us? Loving regardless is the simple answer but may be difficult to act out. In this message, Pastor Joel takes us through John, Romans and Ephesians to illustrate this point and teach us how to love even when it's hard.

How can our political partisan biases impact how we treat our brothers and sisters in Christ? Pastor Eugene Cho, author of "Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk" uses John 4:1-10, the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman, as a template for how we should prioritize deepening our relationships with one another as followers of Jesus, amidst our culture's tendency toward polarization.
