Emptied, Now Exalted | Advent Series | December
This year for Advent we will explore the remarkable journey of Jesus as told in Philippians 2:5-11. Jesus emptied himself by becoming a human being for our sake to become exalted over all. This is a great series in which to invite unbelieving friends or family members. Invite cards with this year's theme are available at our Resource Table.

Making Sense of God & Reason for God by Tim Keller | Book Recommendation
Is Christianity relevant to our contemporary lives? Why should someone even consider its claims? And if considering its claims, what of the many objections to Christianity? Is it true? In this pair of books, Making Sense of God and Reason for God, the late pastor Timothy Keller seeks to show how Christianity both answers our deeper longings and holds up to the deepest of scrutiny.

Sermon Materials
Current Series - The Gospel According to Mark | The Unexpected King
According to Mark, Jesus is the coming King who is bringing God's kingdom. But the sort of King he is, and the sort of kingdom he brings, is quite unexpected. Jesus is a king who suffers and serves. And he calls his followers, the citizens of his kingdom, to do likewise—to walk in his way and carry their cross.
