As we were all completing final preparation for Christmas, Pastor Steve reminded us to make our own final preparations for the arrival of Jesus Christ in out hearts.

With three simple steps, he leads us on a biblical journey with the potential to renew our receiving Christmas through the desires of God.

"The Arrival" series continues with Pastor Steve teaching about "Misunderstood Mary", unpacking the varied and different viewpoints of the mother of Jesus that have developed over the centuries. Pastor Steve shares two primary - and inaccurate - conclusions about Mary, then moves forward into two most important truths regarding Mary's impact - truths to which we should all aspire!

In this message of his series "The Arrival", Pastor Steve flips the Christmas script - a bit. Often at Christmas we acknowledge what Jesus has done for us. But Pastor Steve, using the book of the prophet Micah, reminds us that God's plan isn't just a nice idea, but essential to our eternity. Laying out God's case for His holy and perfect acts on our behalf and challenging sin in our lives, Pastor Steve leads us to the real question when it comes to our relationship with God - what can I do to make it right?

Entering the Christmas season and celebrating "The Arrival" of Jesus amongst us, Pastor Steve takes some time to remind us - Jesus is coming again. He shows us in the Bible how Jesus will arrive next time, as well as discussion about when that could happen. And in keeping with the season of gift-giving, Pastor Steve reminds us of the gifts our Savior has for us!
