Anxiety is the emotion that seems to be most popular to name, claim and blame these days. As humankind becomes busier, and as we have content overload, anxiety as a mental health diagnosis continues to increase at alarming rates.

Do we have a right to be angry? In other words, is it a God-given emotion that can be meant for good? This week we peer in on Jesus when he is very angry. This story gives us concrete tools for ways to peacefully deal with our own anger.

Spiders, snakes, being stared at… what are you afraid of? Fear can be a gift from our biology that keeps us alive. Fear can become unhealthy when it paralyzes or prevents us from living a healthy and whole life. God reminds God’s people over and over throughout the Bible that the means of tempering fear is through trusting that God is with us, always. Join us as we continue to explore how scripture speaks to our mental health and wholeness.…

The Trinity is a complex theological concept. How can God be three in one—all distinct yet the same? The clearest example of the trinity, because the word trinity is NOT found in scripture, is when Jesus is baptized by his cousin John. In this sermon we explore the mystery of the Trinity.

Video version: https://youtu.be/M0w_Fv3hZd4 Today's word: Filled (Luke 1:53-55) The arrival of Jesus brings hope and sustenance, especially to those in need. In Christ, we are reminded that true richness comes not from material wealth, but from the love, grace, and mercy of God. As we celebrate today, let us be mindful of those who hunger—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May we commit to sharing the good things God has given us, reflecting His generosity and kindness. Watch this short Advent devotional and reflect: What fills your heart this day? Who can you pour into this season?…
