Chris starts off our Advent series on Love with a reflection on the story of the Prodigal Son.
Joy in Difficult Circumstances
Chris shares the story of Lazarus’ resurrection and how sometimes in difficult circumstances we experience doubt, frustration and pain. Nevertheless, God is at work in ways that may not make sense to us so that he can bring about something greater.
Joy of the Lord
So much of our joy (maybe most of it) comes in the context of relationship. Perhaps that gives us a window in to the joy of the Lord at Christmas.
Matthew 2; Luke 2
Make it your own
Dave encourages us to meditate on truth and let it really sink in and set us free.
True Wealth
Alan shares how the story of scrooge and a proverb about selfish people remind him of where joy really comes from
Joy
We can celebrate Jesus coming to save us, but he comes as a baby, not as a powerful king. Let us celebrate this joyful season as we remember the humble situation Jesus was born into!
Luke chapter 2
Storms, Jesus & Joy
Laurel invites us to consider the stories of Jesus and storms during this season Advent.

Not an Idea but a Person Part 1
Chris shares the idea that in this session we need to reflect on the ideas of hope, peace, joy and love not as concepts but to understand that those things dwell in the very person of Jesus. This video is part 1 so be sure to catch part 2.
What’s Your Label?
Sometimes we allow labels that we give ourselves to steal peace.
Scott recounts the story of Gideon’s encounter with God.
God’s names for us lead us to peace. We will listen.
