Journey to Bethlehem: Joy

We begin the journey towards Christmas in a season called Advent. We will take some time looking at some themes that will help us make our way in life. Today, we explore the importance of hope.

We begin a sermon series on the book of James. We begin with chapter one where we hear practical advice about how to navigate troubles in our lives and how listening helps us all.

We enter into the second week of Advent and we are packing for Bethlehem. We are packing light by packing peace and getting rid of resentment.

We begin this message with a secular Christmas song sung by Bruce Ewing and accompanied by Philip Fortenberry. This unconventional song for Christmas worship reflects the unconventional year we have all experienced.
