God is love, and He proved it by sending Jesus—calling us to receive that love and reflect it sacrificially to others. This week, Pastor Duane reminds us that experiencing and expressing sacrificial love reflects God’s own character, revealed most fully in the gift of Jesus at Christmas.

This week, Pastor Rick reminds us that God invites believers to live with joy through prayer and thankfulness—even in difficult seasons. As we choose joy, remain faithful in prayer, and practice gratitude in every situation, we learn to trust that God is present with us and working for our good. No matter what we face, He promises to save, sustain, and bring complete, lasting joy in the end.

This week, Pastor Rick reminds us that Christmas brings hope to everyone—those far from God, those who are suffering, and all who choose to trust Him—filling us with joy, peace, and confident hope through the Holy Spirit.

This week, Pastor Natalie reminds us that representing Christ well in our community goes far beyond our words — it’s reflected in the way we live each day. When we love others wholeheartedly, pursue peace, carry ourselves with integrity, and work diligently with what God has entrusted to us, our lives become a powerful witness to those who don’t yet believe. Instead of trying to convince people with arguments alone, we allow our character, consistency, and compassion to speak for us. This kind of honorable living shows the world what it truly looks like to follow Christ and invites others to experience Him through the way we choose to live.

This week, Pastor Arnold reminds us that following Jesus starts with a decision but grows through discipleship. Many believe in Christ yet feel stuck because they stop at belief instead of walking in daily surrender. Salvation is free—it connects us to Christ—but discipleship costs us our way of life. True growth happens when we take up our cross, follow His way over ours, and live out His mission in love, community, and obedience.
