Christmas, 2021 - To get at the crux of Christmas, the Gift of Christmas needs to be unwrapped and disentangled from all the consumerization, commercialization, secularization, and the hoards of other “izations” too numerous to mention that hide the true meaning of Christmas from us, and it needs to be returned to the profound celebration that the angel proclaimed and the star points us toward.

Christmas Eve, 2021 - Christmas Day we will recount the history of a unique virgin birth - of a Child born and laid in a manger. Now, on this Eve of Christmas, as we begin to ponder the events of that critical moment more than 2000 years ago, we ask the question that lies at the very crux of Christmas, do you know this Child in the manger?

Advent 4, 2021 - As we have moved through Advent, many of us will have heard songs and carols proclaiming “peace on earth” and heard Jesus called the “Prince of peace” - and quite understandably, many of us will ask “Where is this peace?” That is the question OnMission is exploring today.

Advent 3, 2021 - Ask 100 people, “What is Love?” How many would respond with what the Bible says Love is? Today Love is used so casually to mean everything from devotion, desire and delight, to enthusiasm, elation and lust - to understand Love is essential, yet it remarkably misunderstood. But, it is Love that causes the Christ-follower to lift their gaze above and beyond this world and to fix their eyes on Jesus. So let’s talk about Love.

Advent 2, 2021 - Joy, that is the Joy the Christian knows because of all that Jesus is and has done, is more than giddiness or happiness. And, this Joy is in the world wherever there are people who Love Jesus. This is what we are talking about this second week in Advent.

Advent 1, 2021 - In 1st John we read that because Christian hope is focused precisely on Jesus, that hope will purify and reforms us - it changes the Way we live. This Hope is THE Hope Christians hope for - this is The unique true Hope for all people.
