    The World Needs The Light

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Dec 11, 2025
     | 65 views

    Candlelight service message about spreading the light of Christ.

    Tonight, we gather in the soft glow of candles, but let’s be honest — the world outside doesn’t feel very soft or very glowing right now. There’s enough darkness in the world today. People are stressed, divided, anxious, angry, exhausted… and that’s just the line at Costco. Everywhere you turn, ...read more

    Christmas Uncluttered "Uncluttered Peace: Quieting The Noise” Series

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Dec 11, 2025
     | 42 views

    Christmas wasn’t meant to be packed to the rafters. It was meant to be uncluttered — stripped back to what matters most: Christ stepping into our chaos with peace.

    Before we get into today’s message, I feel I should address the obvious head wound I’m sporting today. “You know, church… sometimes God gives us object lessons we didn’t ask for. This week, my dog Buddy decided to help me prepare for this sermon on peace. I’m walking the little dogs downstairs, ...read more

But here’s the real truth: Christmas is about love — but the uncluttered kind. Not the Hallmark, ...read more
