Pastor Justin Hansen continues in our Christmas series, Advent. Galatians 4:4-7 is that God's love came down in the person of Jesus to redeem us and adopt us as His children. In the fullness of time, God sent His Son to rescue us from sin and bring us into His family, not as slaves, but as beloved sons and daughters. This incredible act of love is not just a distant event in history, but a present reality, made real in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who enables us to cry out, “Abba, Father!” Advent is a reminder that God's love is personal, transformative, and eternally secure for all who receive it.

Pastor Justin Hansen continues in our Advent series. God's joy breaks into our ordinary world in surprising ways, even when we least expect it. Just like John leaped with excitement before he was even born, God can fill our hearts with unexpected hope and happiness. This passage shows that true joy isn't about perfect circumstances, but about recognizing God's amazing work in our lives. When we're open to God's presence, we can experience a deep, life-changing joy that goes beyond what the world typically offers.

Pastor Justin Hansen continues in our Advent series. Isaiah 9:6 presents a powerful prophecy about the coming Messiah, who is described as the Prince of Peace. This peace is not just the absence of conflict, but a deep, holistic peace that restores our relationship with God and brings wholeness to all creation. In the Advent season, we celebrate the promise that Jesus, as the Prince of Peace, came to reconcile us to God, heal brokenness, and offer lasting peace in our hearts, homes, and the world. Advent reminds us that true peace begins with Jesus, and it is through Him that we experience peace with God, peace within, and peace with others.

Pastor Justin Hansen starts our Christmas series, Advent. In Isaiah 9:2-7, the hope of Advent is found in the promise of a Messiah who will bring light to the darkness, establish justice, and reign as the Prince of Peace. This child, called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, will fulfill God's promise of salvation and eternal peace. Advent reminds us that Jesus is the fulfillment of this prophecy, and our hope is in His first coming and the future establishment of His eternal kingdom.

Pastor Justin Hansen dives into chapter 2 of the book of Haggai, teaching from verses 1-9. In Haggai 2:1-9, God encourages His people to keep moving forward with faith, even when the work seems discouraging or less impressive. Despite their challenges in rebuilding the temple, God assures them of His presence and promises that the future glory will surpass the past. In our own lives, when faced with discouragement or setbacks, we are reminded to keep on keeping on—trusting God’s faithfulness and looking forward to the greater things He has in store.

Pastor Justin teaches from Haggai 1:12-15 verse by verse. In Haggai 1:12-15, the people of Israel respond to God’s call by repenting and putting His priorities first, beginning the work of rebuilding the temple. True repentance isn’t just feeling sorry but leads to obedience and action. When we align our lives with God’s will and prioritize His work, He blesses us and empowers us to fulfill His purposes. This passage challenges us to stop living for ourselves and start living for God’s kingdom.

Pastor Justin Hansen kicks off our series in the book of Haggai. Pastor Justin teaches from Haggai 1:1-11.

He urges them to consider their ways, promising that when they put Him first, they will experience His blessings and restoration in their lives. This passage reminds us that prioritizing God is essential for true fulfillment and prosperity.
