Advent: Prince of Peace
In our days peace is an elusive quality. We are more often marked by confusion, frustration and anxiety. The coming of Christ 2000 years ago introduces us to a New King and a government that is marked by peace. This rule of Jesus continues to expand and grow to this day. How can we participate? How do we let the promised peace of Jesus shape our hearts and lives?

Advent: A Glimpse Into the Heart of God
In this second message of the Advent Season, we discover God's powerful love for us. Because of our sin, rebellion and faithlessness, God has every right to abandon and condemn us. But our God is not a man. Instead of wraith and anger, there is ultimately tenderness. Join us to learn how this is possible.

How to Really Experience Thanksgiving
Does God owe us anything? In this Thanksgiving message, Pastor Ulysses reminds us we must not serve God from an attitude of entitlement but one of gratitude and giving thanks. Through the lens of Luke 17, we explore different types of entitlement and how it may creep into our behavior. Pastor Ulysses ultimately shows us the spirit of Thanksgiving is revealed by returning to the cross.

A New Way of Serving
We naturally rebel against God and want to take charge of our own lives because of our sinful nature. Through Christ, we are set free and are to live and serve in a new way to bear fruit for God. This week, we learn how to serve in this new relationship with a renewed heart surrendered to God and filled with the fruits of the spirit.

What It All Boils Down To
"""Meaningless! Meaningless! says the Teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."" Whether people realize this saying is from the Book of Ecclesiastes or not, many have heard this lament. Those who spend their lives pursuing money, fame, or power often wind up feeling this sentiment. The Teacher in Ecclesiastes pleads with us to wake up to God's truths so that we don't give into this age-old struggle. Today's sermon shows us how we can experience godly wisdom and find true meaning for our lives!"

Pursuing Silence in a Distracted Age
It was Stephen Covey who said, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” More and more in this day and age, we have lost the desire and ability to actively listen. Last week, we were reminded that God intently hears our prayers - but are we listening to Him? Do we seek to silence the noise in our lives long enough to hear His voice? This week's passage shows us what happens when we take the time to listen for God's voice in our lives!
