Advent: The LOVE of Jesus
The weeks leading up to Christmas are always busy. There are presents to be purchased, trees to be decorated, cards to be written, food to be prepared and parties to be planned. We put a lot of energy and effort into making sure that Christmas is a wonderful time for our family and friends. But what do we do to get ourselves ready for Christmas? How do we prepare ourselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually to experience the wonder of God coming to be with us? If we aren’t internally prepared for Christmas, we can miss the moment and Christmas can become just another holiday on the calendar.
Join us at The Gathering on this fourth Sunday of Advent as we prepare for Christmas together by focusing in on the Love of Jesus! What motivated God to send Jesus that first Christmas? How can knowing this change the way we experience Christmas today? Tune in to find out!
Ephesians: From Death to Life “Love”
How do you measure love? Can you capture it in interactions, gifts or actions? If love between humans is difficult to measure, how do you even begin to understand God's love for us? Join us as we discuss Paul's prayer that we would grasp, even just a little more, the power of God's love for us. This love has transformed many lives and Paul's prayer is that we would experience the transforming power of this love as well. You won't want to miss it.

CONNECTED: Judge Me Not
You were created for connection! Meaningful, honest connection and spiritual friendship. And yet, for many of us, we feel so lonely, isolated & disconnected instead. Why is that? If God created us for connection, why is this sense of connection so hard to actually experience in life? Listen/Watch as Jeff talks about how judgmentalism kills community and how the Gospel can change our judgmental hearts.
