One of the names given in the prophecy about Jesus in Isaiah 9:6-7 is "Everlasting Father". Another way of interpreting that is "Everlasting Author/Source".

"True hope doesn't deliver us around, but delivers us through" How do we find hope in painful circumstances? This week, Pastor Matt talks about how we can find hope in our pain because our God is a healer, He is with us, and He experienced the greatest pain of all so that we wouldn't have to. 

This week, we continued our Christmas series as Pastor Jeremy talks about Jesus being a "Mighty God". It is easy for us to put our hope in what we can see, but we have a mighty God who is faithful to his promises and wants us to place our hope in Him.

One of the most important spiritual disciplines we can have is spending time in God's Word.
