    Getting off the Island

    We wrapped up our Christmas series with a passionate reminder that the King's plan isn't for us to live on The Island of Misfit Toys, but to leave it. We're saved to be sent! Our mission is to share the transformative power of Christ's love with others, proclaiming how He brings purpose to our pain and redemption to our brokenness. As we approach Christmas, let's be inspired by Mary's faithfulness and the shepherds' eagerness to 'go and see'. Our role isn't to fully explain God's mysterious ways, but to boldly proclaim what He's done in our lives.

    No more poopy diapers

    In week 3 of our Christmas series, Pastor Seth reminds us that our weaknesses are not hindrances but opportunities for God's strength to shine through us. The central scripture, 2 Corinthians 12:6-10, teaches us that God's grace is sufficient and His power is perfected in our weakness. Like Paul, we're encouraged to boast about our weaknesses, knowing that they allow Christ's power to work within us. This message challenges us to step out in faith, even when we feel inadequate, trusting that God will equip us for the tasks He's called us to do.

    We've been chosen

    In part two of our Christmas series, we dive into "The Island of Misfit Toys" from the classic Rudolph movie to unpack a powerful truth: we are all uniquely chosen by God for a special purpose. Just like the misfit toys, life can sometimes make us feel like we don't fit in, but God sees our worth and potential. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, we see how God flips the script by choosing those who appear weak or foolish to reveal His greatness. You are not just another face in the crowd; you are chosen by design.

    We're not forgotten

    This inspiring message reminds us that God sees forgotten people in forgotten places. The story of Hagar from Genesis 16 beautifully illustrates how even when we feel invisible or cast aside, God sees us and knows our struggles. The parallels drawn between the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph and our own feelings of inadequacy encourage us to recognize that God sees greatness in us, even when we can't see it in ourselves. This message challenges us to remember that in Christ, we're not forgotten - we're family.

    Family gathers

    As we approach Thanksgiving, we're reminded of the power of reconciliation in our families and beyond. The message draws from 2 Corinthians 5, emphasizing our calling as 'ministers of reconciliation.' We're compelled by Christ's love to see others through a new lens, no longer from a worldly point of view. This transformation isn't about fixing others, but about allowing God's love to work through us. The cross changes how we view people, and as new creations in Christ, we're entrusted with the vital message of reconciliation. As we gather with family, let's remember we're Christ's ambassadors, representing His kingdom wherever we go. This calling challenges us to embody Christ's love, even in potentially tense family situations, trusting that God can bring healing and unity where there's been hurt or division.

    Family stays

    In week 3 of our Family Style series, Pastor Seth examines the story of Joseph and his brothers from Genesis and highlights the themes of family, forgiveness, and reconciliation. The story reminds us that God can work all things for good and hurt even in betrayal. Joseph's journey from favored son to slave to ruler in Egypt showcases how staying connected to God's purpose can transform our perspective on past wounds. We're challenged to consider how we handle family conflicts and whether we're open to the possibility of reconciliation. The message emphasizes that while forgiveness is mandatory, reconciliation requires both parties to come together willingly. As we reflect on our family dynamics, we're encouraged to adopt God's heart of enduring love and remain open to His transformative work in our relationships.

    Family forgives

    In this message on forgiveness, we're challenged to examine our hearts and release the burdens of unforgiveness. The central theme revolves around Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18, where He tells the story of a forgiven servant who chooses not to forgive. The parable illustrates how, even though God has forgiven us an immeasurable debt, we often struggle to extend that same grace to others. Paul reminds us that forgiveness isn't about a feeling but about a choice to release others from the debt they owe us. Interestingly, scientific studies now confirm what the Bible has long taught - forgiveness brings numerous health benefits, including lower blood pressure and reduced anxiety. This message encourages us to see forgiveness not as a burden but as a gift from God that sets us free.

    Family fights

    In this week’s message, we're reminded that conflict within families is normal, even in the family of God. We explore biblical examples of disagreements between apostles and early church leaders, showing that unity doesn't mean the absence of conflict. The key is how we handle these conflicts. We're called to fight for each other, not against each other. Just as Peter and Paul had disagreements but still supported one another publicly, we need to believe the best in our spiritual family members. This message challenges us to shift our perspective from seeing fellow believers as enemies to recognizing them as teammates in God's kingdom. It's a call to unity amidst diversity, reminding us that the blood of Christ flowing through us is stronger than any disagreement.
