We are in week two of the series called "Focus." We are learning again of the hope and healing we have in Christ as we celebrate the season of Advent. Pastor Chris brought a word to encourage those who might be worried, anxious, and troubled by the situations and circumstances of life.  The Christmas season is here and we wait with great anticipation for the coming and return of our Savior. Ever notice how Christmas amplifies everything? The good becomes great while the hard things feel harder. But Christmas doesn’t have to be either great or hard. There’s a hope that overcomes anything. On a silent night, a light broke through the darkness. The world watched in awe as love stepped in. Jesus changed everything—including the life that’s possible for us. We can experience the wonder of our Savior. Together lets reflect on the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Him with our series, Focus.

Pride is the result of comparing ourselves with others and basing our identity and worth on our possessions, knowledge, appearance, and performance. Pride keeps us sick!
