Joy In The Wilderness
This week, we will continue our exploration of biblical joy with stories from both Exodus and Philippians. In these we'll be inspired to find joy even in the wilderness. We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday, as we continue with our series on finding Everyday Joy.

Everyday Joy
Biblical joy is not rooted in our circumstances. It is rooted in Christ's presence. Jesus himself told us that he came that his joy might be in us, so that our joy would be full (John 15:11). This ought to come as good news! No matter what 2020 throws at us, we can still have joy in our lives. For the next three Sundays, we'll talk about how to access biblical joy in our everyday lives.

(Not Your) Ordinary Christmas Teaser
God's ability to orchestrate circumstances and accomplish his purposes is amazing, isn't it? Well, this Sunday's message represents one of those moments of amazement. Ten months ago, we planned this week's message with a stressful season in mind. At the time, we thought the season would simply be the upcoming holidays and all the extra that requires. Little did we know that the season we'd be in on November 1 would be THIS season. My goodness! Friends, let's talk about a better way to enter the holidays, so we can say with the saints, "Best of all, God is with us."

Habukkuk
This Sunday we continue to explore the messages of the minor prophets. The prophet Habbakuk calls us to a kind of devotion that isn't rooted in circumstances but in the goodness of God. Mike Barr will be our preacher. If your life and health allow, grab a mask and join us in person this week. We can't wait to see you.

A Night Of Prayer and Repentance
What is the one thing you can do that would make everything else easier or unnecessary? PRAY! This Sunday, we are opening up for an evening of prayer and repentance. Come and soak in prayer, confess all in your life that is ready for healing, and let renewal begin.
As Kevin Watson writes:
"A church that gets on its knees and repents will be raised up. People will find pardon and peace with God.”

Micah
We are discovering, week by week, as we explore the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament, that they are only minor in size. Their messages are profound and teach us so much about God and his longing for us, his people. This week we will explore the message of Micah and be reminded of what it means to be a gathered people of God.
Jonah
Of all the minor prophets, Jonah gets my heart because he is so ... human. His story is also deceptive. The Veggie Tales version makes it seem like a fun story with a good moral lesson. But it is so much more than that (spoiler alert: its not about the fish). his is as fine a prophetic vision as you'll read anywhere, and if you have ears to hear, it will strike a deeply personal note.

Zechariah
Are there promises over your life wiating to be fulfilled? Are you wondering where God is in that ocess, or what you can do to more fully participate in seeing him move? This Sunday, we will talk about those promises and about God's longing to see us move into his plan for our lives. Mark Freitag, our preacher for the day, will walk us through the the book of Zechariah on the way to showing us how to uncover the rewards of God’s blessing upon our lives.

Amos
This has been a season for talking about justice. What does justice look like in the real world, and how do we use it to send the message of Jesus out to people who need that message? Amos is the prophet who championed justice, especially for the poor and those who live in the margins. This Sunday, we'll explore his message, and remember what it means to be the Church.
