Advent simply means the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event. For us, it is the arrival of Christ, both at his birth and also the anticipation of his imminent return. In Advent, we are reminded of the faithfulness of Christ’s coming. We remember the eager waiting for His first arrival and how He was faithful to come as He promised to rescue us from our sins. And our excitement is stirred as we await His return to bring justice and make all things new. It is a special time of the year, but one we must be careful not to waste.

There are many categories of life in which we are called to be healthy and many different ways we can be unhealthy. It is the tension between these categories that actually helps us make decisions. We want to be physically healthy. We also want to be financially healthy and have healthy relationships, a healthy marriage, and a healthy work-life balance. Health is multifaceted, and knowing that can help us have a healthier view of health. Think of it as stewardship and how the different areas in our lives that we are to steward can actually help give us a healthy balance.

Two of our church values are abiding and training. Abiding focuses on the practice and development of personal spiritual rhythms. Training focuses on helping followers of Jesus proactively live their lives on mission for Jesus. Given the importance these values play in our growth and sanctification, we want to provide some recommended books that you may just want to add to your Christmas list!

When you read God's Word, God communicates to you. When you pray, you communicate back to God. You need to be in the conversation that He started. It is easy to disconnect prayer and Bible reading, but you need to see those two things working together.

As a Christian trying to be led by Scripture and the Holy Spirit, there are several approaches to Halloween. In the end, regardless of your level of participation, will others see your attitude and behavior on October 31 and see a life that has been changed by the gospel?

We want to be a church devoted to prayer. At the heart of that is not just prayer guides, prayer services, prayer series, and prayer books in the resource center. A praying church is made up of praying people. Our hope is that focused time on prayer would continue in our lives, leading us to be a church devoted to prayer because we are full of people devoted to prayer.
