For many, Christmas doesn't feel like a time of peace but a time of chaos and heartache. However, we can still sing joyfully at Christmas even with the hurt and the pain. Listen as Pastor Heath preaches from John 16:33 and tells of how he loves Christmas despite the awful Christmas memories of his childhood.

Why is Away in a Manger one of the most popular Christmas carols? It is because it captures the real meaning of Christmas found in Luke 2. Join us as Pastor Heath juxtaposes Christ's lowly and humble entrance into this world with our tendency to want to exalt ourselves as we study Luke 2:7.

Pastor Heath continues his series on the importance on singing at Christmastime as he compares the story of Luke 2 to our worship of Christ today.

We live in a world of disappointment, despair, and deceit, but Jesus provides ultimate hope for us through His resurrection. Join us as we study Matthew 28 as we close in on the end of the study of the Life and Times of Jesus Christ.

Often times valleys in our lives start from an external situation and impact us internally. However, many times valleys begin inside us and work outwardly in how we perceive things. Nocatee Campus Pastor Spencer Harmon experienced just this in his battle with depression. Listen as he explains how Psalm 42 was a major companion to his walking through this valley.

As we approach the crucifixion of Jesus in the end of Matthew 27, Pastor Heath shows that Jesus's dying on the cross for our sins is the best deal that we could ever get.

There is something about Jesus that inspires conflict. While history is full of examples of humans fighting because of Christ, the biggest enemy to Jesus is ourself.

Pastor Richard Lucas recounts the time in his life where God walked he and his wife Tina through a valley of uncertainty when their oldest son Caleb suddenly needed open heart surgery as an infant.

We all experience trials and hardships in our life, but how do we best use these trials to learn and to trust God? Pastor Heath uses the passage in Matthew 26 to show Jesus' anticipation of His trials and how to trust God in them.
