One would like to think the holiday season only brings merriment and joy, but most know that the Christmas season can also be full of trials. Listen as Pastor Brent shares a word of encouragement. Advent reminds us that in darkness and difficulty, we are not alone.
Join Pastor Brent for the first message in our new Advent series, Wonder, as we reflect on how God offers renewal during the Christmas season. Isaiah 40 reminds us that God brings strength to the weary and restoration to the brokenhearted. As we enter this season of wonder, discover how waiting on the Lord and seeking His presence can bring true renewal to your life. Let this Christmas be a time of refreshing hope and transformation.

Is there ever a moment when there is not a list of things taking up space and wanting our attention? It’s the harassment of obligation and worry that drives us to twitch, stomp, and run like horses plagued by bot flies. Horses will group together, tails swishing, or roll in the dirt to find relief. We look for…
