Hope is a distinguishing mark of a genuine Christ Follower. There is a confident expectation for the future that springs out of the person who has fully surrendered their life to Christ.

God has a beautiful purpose for each season.

Like Simeon, we're called to recognize Jesus as our personal fulfillment of promise. In a world of waiting, His arrival brings peace that dismisses our deepest fears.

Mary's encounter with God transforms vague thoughts into personal reality, sparking a song that pours from a heart bursting with emotion.

The focus is on The Angel's Song that they sang to the shepherds who were out in the field after Jesus' birth. We are going to see how this song encourages us to make room for Christ the King in our lives and how that guides us towards PEACE that seems like it is always slipping out of our hands.

Zechariah's Song gives an important perspective on Jesus' birth and God's plan through it.

Christian Self-Control: The obedience of our thoughts, emotions, and desires to a will that is fully submitted to Christ.

We want to be people of wisdom who are able to look at the situations we face in life and pick the right course of action. Wisdom: The ability to see life from God's angle and make sound decisions in life.

We want to look at how we can have work habits that lead to success. And the first thing that helps us to find success is understanding work the way it is talked about in Proverbs.

Words matter a lot. The good news is God can help control your tongue. Follow Christ, learn the ways of the Lord. Practice by obeying His commands, and it will grow within you.

A proverb can be described as a brief statement that offers a pithy but powerful observation. - Jim George, The Bare Bones Bible Handbook

Christians are a part of God's army in this Spiritual War. We have each other. God has given us a brotherhood or sisterhood of soldiers that are experiencing the same types of suffering from the enemy. The same types of attacks.

The enemy wants to prowl around and destroy us. But, we don't have to be easy pray. We submit to God and resist the enemy. When the enemies attacks come we can rebuke him. We employ godly strategies for our life instead of worldly.

God gives us the resources for victory in the war within. It comes down to whether we are going to feed the flesh or the spirit more.

We are going to look at how to recognize how to ready the enemy's attacks against us and respond appropriately so that we can be successful.

To gain a clear understanding of the spiritual war going on around us and how we can have victory in the battle.

Inviting our neighbors to discover Christ through his life-changing community.

A Forge is where the blacksmith purifies and shapes His steel into something stronger and useful towards His purpose. That's a perfect analogy to the Christian life. God is the blacksmith, His people are the steel, and He purifies and shapes us through the fiery trials we face so that we become straighter and more useful to Him for His purposes. Our part is to stay in the fire and respond to His h...

Jesus Christ encourages HABITUAL prayer to exercise faith in God. (Luke 18:1-8). We are going to look at a parable that Jesus told that encourages a tenacious prayer life. Parables were stories Jesus told to illustrate points. They were not easy to understand but Jesus used them to highlight some principles in his kingdom.

The Christian life is meant to be an active intentional process like we see in a forging process. Where we take intentional actions to move towards becoming like Christ and God forms us into who He has made us to be.

The name Immanuel, meaning "God with Us," signifies the ultimate fulfillment of God's presence through Jesus Christ. Through Immanuel, believers experience the fullness of God's character in a tangible, relational way, as Jesus lives out and completes the promises revealed through God's names.

El Shaddai, meaning "God Almighty" or "the All-Sufficient One," highlights God's limitless power and ability to supply all needs. Christians are encouraged to trust in the almighty nature of El Shaddai, who is more than able to meet every need and fulfill His promises.
