The Magnificat
In the Second Sunday of Advent 2008, Pastor JR Vassar teaches from Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:45-55). In this passage, Elizabeth blesses Mary, and Mary breaks out in a song of praise and thanks to God for his work for her and in her. It is a political and prophetic song with huge claims about Jesus and implications for our lives.

Through the Eyes of Mary
In our culture it has become glaringly obvious that Christmas is more about the "stuff" and less about the Son. How is it that so many people lose focus on what this holiday is all about? Maybe it's because in the hustle and the bustle of the season no one slows down enough to remember the story. Join us in December as we look at the greatest story ever told, through the eyes of the participants.

Song of Blessing
The Bible tells us that the first Christmas brought good news of great joy. Those who doubted regained faith. Those who felt small received blessing. Those who were overlooked found peace. Those who waiting for something big to come along, celebrated. We believe Christmas still brings good news of great joy. Come, celebrate with us.

In this message from Luke 1:26-38, Pastor JR Vassar walks us through Gabriel's announcement to Mary that she will conceive and bear a son.
