    Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

     | 3,136 views

    We often think of Christmas in terms of peace … and this can begin to be reduced to that which is cozy and comfortable. But the events that we are invited to enter… begin with the opposite…

But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more

    A sermon based on the four "fear not"’s of the nativity story.

    A Year Without Fear INTRO.: As a new year begins, there is much uncertainty in each of our lives. We don’t know what the new year will bring.

So here was Joseph ...read more
