Clack – Clack – Clack - Clack… A broken wheel makes the entire grocery cart noisy and shacky. A little part of the wheel missing or damaged causes a lot of ruckus in the store, for the one pushing and for those around it. What can help make this grocery cart more peaceful? What can make our lives more peaceful? Pr. Nathanael looks at Scripture to better understand this term we often use a Christmas – Peace.

Security and Pleasure – two desires that drive much of humanity´s choices and decisions. These two pursuits often overlap. Scripture does speak to both. One passage that refers to both is Psalm 16, where David weaves the two together. It is a poetic expression of worship where he calls upon the people of God to make five specific and distinct choices regarding their pleasure and their security. Join Pr. Nathanael Fawcett as he expounds on the Word of God concerning these topics.

One of the problems with sin is that it distances us from God. Our guilt makes us want to hide after doing something wrong. King David also felt this distance from God after his sinned in adultery and murder. Pr. Nathanael Fawcett brings a study on Psalm 32 which is David´s personal testimony on how he came to peace with God, and had his relationship restored with the Almighty.

Pr. Hélder looks at the persecution of the early church and the imprisonment of the Apostle Paul, Acts 28:30-31, to point out a focus on what missions looks like. Even though he was in prison, Paul did not stop sharing and preaching the Gospel. He spoke to those around him and those who came to visit. Missions begins where you are and ends where God wills. The content of the message is simply "Jesus." Not information about who Jesus is and was, to have an argument, but the Good News is the actual person of Jesus and a relationship with Him. The missionary challenge from the example of Paul: 1. speak boldly to everyone - have courage, because we are sent under the authority of Christ and the message has not changed; 2. pray for opportunities to spread the Gospel; 3. identify with Christ - our daily lives should reflect that we are a Christian (ie. Christian professional, Christian parent, Christian teacher, Christian athlete, etc..)

Pr. Bill Fawcett does a word study on "Kindness". This is a characteristic and fruit of the spirit that should be demonstrated in the life of every Christian. But what is it? Why should we display kindness and to whom? What does it really look like? How can we develop it? Scripture used to better understand this topic are 1 Cor 15:33, Luke 6:35, Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 7:2, Romans 2:1-4, 1 Peter 2:1-3 and Matthew 11:28-30.
