Join us for week 2 of Hearing the Voice, series on reading, understanding, and growing in appreciation of The Bible. This week pastor Chris discusses the ways ancient cultures interpreted the events of their lives through the story of Abraham and Isaac and challenged us with the idea that our salvation isn't about us and that there is nothing we can do to earn God's love.

What Does it Mean to Love All? | Advent Week 2 |
Pastor Chris Seay continues our Advent series with a simple question, what does it mean to love all? He unpacks 1 John 3:16 which offers a particular challenge: "If a person owns the kinds of things we need to make it in the world but refuses to share with those in need, is it even possible that God's love lives in him?" Pastor Chris offers a simple answer to this challenge and it is radical generosity. As you approach this season of Advent and begin to wait expectantly for Jesus, we invite you to love everyone by showing grace, peace, patience and generosity.

Our Work is Not Our Worth
Sean Palmer shares with us the profound truth that our worth is not determined by what we do, but by who we are at the core of our being. When work becomes our idol, we fail to live into the truth that God is the only one who is relentlessly faithful to us, and is the place where our vision and meaning lies.
