Christmas Classics

Among the traditional fixtures of the Christmas Season, the dazzling decorations, the whimsical music, and the hustle and bustle of the holidays, Americans for decades have gone to the movies. And from movie screens in the cinema and the DVD players in living rooms have emerged several "Christmas Classics" which families enjoy. Won't you join us as we watch together? Grab some popcorn, a drink and maybe some Raisinets, because these movies all point toward an even more classic tale. A true story - a documentary, if you will - of the Savior of the World and the events of His birth.

Letters to the Next President

As we survey the Old Testament, we find that God's Word speaks to leaders - kings, governors, and rulers of many kinds. I believe the advice given to those leaders in the Bible is still relevant to all of us in leadership roles today at work, at home, even on the ball field. But especially during an election year, we will consider what the Bible says to the next President of our country. (This series has been adapted from material originally written by Andy Stanley)

When The Church Prays

Few things are as important to the Christian life as prayer.  Yet, for many of us, we struggle to find the time or motivation to talk with God regularly.  Is there more to prayer than saying "thank you" at meal time?  What should we pray for, how should we pray, and how does God answer prayer?  The more we understand it, the more likely we are to spend time praying.  And the more we pray, the closer our connection with God will be.  For the next few weeks, come find out what happens When The Church Prays.

There is something sentimental, something right, something warm and inviting about coming home for Christmastime.
