Preacher: Christian Coon
January sometimes brings resolutions and the desire to strive to obtain the mythical "good life." But what does that mean? Will God favor us more if we achieve more? We'll explore what it means to have the good-enough life as we reflect on Matthew 5:1-12.

Do you feel like you don't have a place in your family? In this world? In life? It's interesting to note that the birth of Jesus--the Messiah, the Savior--literally took place in "no place." God comes to us in those moments of displacement as God did that day thousands of years ago. A Christmas Eve podcast based on Luke 2:1-20.

Sometimes saying yes to God may mar one's reputation in "popular" society. Are we ready for that? Was Joseph? We'll explore his "yes" to God as we read Matthew 1:18-25.
