This week Pastor Kevin Hancock brings us the third sermon in our Christmas series. The quote from Forrest Gump, that "life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get." reminds us that life is full of the unexpected. Sometimes the unexpected can be painful and fill us with questions and doubts. We can take those doubts and questions and bring them to Jesus. Our doubts can lead to despair, but when we bring them to Jesus he can give us a renewed vision of the Kingdom which is at work all around us.
This week Pastor Kevin Donoho talks about the wilderness places in our lives, the hard places, the places in our lives that we might want to avoid. Those are the places that God might do something unexpected. It's in those places that we must repent, turn toward God and invite him into those places with us. When we turn toward God we expect that He will give us a new perspective and direction.
Pastor Kevin talks about refocusing our life on Jesus and expecting him to do great things with our lives, even things we don't expect.

Like Moses and the Israelites who's backs were up against a seemingly impassable object, when you are "up against it", the way through is by obedience.

This week pastor Kevin Donoho speaks to us from the life of Paul on the topic of living missionally.
This week pastor Kevin talks about the ministry of the early church and the things we can learn from them concerning our relationships with other people and our relationship with God.
This week pastor Kevin brings us the final message in our Turning Point series from the story of the resurrection of Jesus. We see from God's upper story perspective that death does not have to be the end. With Jesus, death can be full of hope. There may be things in our lives that need to die so that we can live the life God has planned for us. Following Jesus is not about leading our own life, it's about following his.
Pastor Kevin talks about the crucifixion and death of Jesus. From our perspective of the "lower story" the death of Jesus looks like a defeat and the end, But from God's perspective of the "upper story", the truth is that the death of Jesus is the victory over sin and death and it's the beginning of a new chapter of hope and forgiveness.
This week Pastor Kevin talks about who people have said Jesus is, who scripture says that Jesus is and the hope we can have for the future because of who Jesus is.
This week pastor Tricia discusses elements of the teaching of Jesus from his parable of the sower in Mark 4 along with the beatitudes and the Lord's prayer. There may be things in our lives that interfere with our receptiveness to God's word, yet God scatters his word freely everywhere, even when it may be unlikely that those who receive it will respond in a way that truly changes them.
This week Pastor John Pickens tells the story of three people: Matthew (the Cheat), Nicodemus (the Curious) and the woman at the well (the Discarded). Each person who comes to Jesus in different ways, receives his love and is challenged to change their life and come and follow him. No matter who we are and what issues we are dealing with, we also are invited to receive Jesus' love. We are invited to come and follow him as he changes us into new people.
The birth of Jesus starts off appearing to be a scandalous event, the pregnancy of an unwed, young girl. But, the truth is that this birth is God's solution to the problem of sin. Jesus is a turning point in history, he's also a turning point in our lives. Just as Jesus grew inside Mary, and eventually came out of her, he can also grow inside each of us. When that happens he will emerge out of our lives and not only can he be a turning point in our lives, but also in the lives of those we encounter. Jesus can take the mess that sin has made of our lives and make something good.
We are all called to mission, to go and obey whatever God asks us to do, but we don't have to do it alone. God can use us right where we are.

Instead, if our first thought were: God, What can you do with me here, we might discover that God has a purpose for us right where we are.
