You may have gotten the impression that Jesus only allows "good people" into his eternal family. Well, in this message we'll be uncovering exactly what kind of people qualify as we comb through Jesus' family tree.

Forward Living
When we feel like we're trapped between bad options and worse ones, we tend to glamorize the past, blame those we love, and forget that God is with us. As we prepare for the New Year, we're going to learn that trusting in God is always our best option.
Our Waiting is Done
Going to the birthday party of someone you barely know can be awkward. That's why for Jesus' birthday we're spending some time getting to know him better.
Witnessing Promises Fulfilled
We ask a simple question in this message, "When you find yourself having to wait for any and every reason, are you looking for Jesus in the middle of it all?"
Embracing God’s Plan
Though familiar to many, the angelic announcement to the virgin Mary provides profound insight into the divine nature of Jesus Christ. It also exemplifies the faith and trust required to embrace God's plans for our lives.
The Blessing in the Waiting
In this fast-paced world of overnight shipping, lightning-fast food delivery, and high-speed internet, patience is a rare virtue. We often find it difficult to pause and just wait. Yet, sometimes that's exactly what God calls us to do, because in the waiting, there are many hidden blessings to be discovered.
Encouragement
Jesus made it possible for you and me to have peace with God our Father. Now, we get to pay that peace forward by advocating for those whom God has placed in our lives.
Generosity
The early Christian church modeled for us how to fulfill our mission of leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and it all has to do with physical and spiritual generosity.
Openhandedness
There's always a spiritual tug of war going on in our hearts between our sinful nature and the Holy Spirit when it comes to being generous. One wants us to be tightfisted, whereas the other empowers us to be openhanded.
Living Out God’s Grace
God's grace is what saves you and God's grace is what empowers you to live a godly life. It's a simple principle that will transform you from the inside out.
