Where do I start?As we begin a new year, 2016, we'll try to answer those questions as wespend some time in a new teaching series: Developing H.A.B.I.T.S. In Part 4 our conversation is all about seeing how our spiritual journey needs to be centered on the idea of intentionality. Being reminded that we all need to have a long view of our journey and that all we engage in needs to have that kind of focus. The habits we need to develop are about pushing in the right direction with view to thinking long.

Everyone...young and old has a story that needs to be told. Many times those stories can get lost in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. Many times we underestimate how God is working to write His story through our everyday lives. This week, we've invited two amazing and impressive young women to share about the journey they are on. The first is Libby English, a high school senior at Mansfield High School. Libby had the opportunity to attend the Voices Conference '14. She has been on an incredible journey since helping to awaken other students to their worth and giving vision to the passions and futures that already lie within them. You'll also hear from Amanda Hall.(begins at 10:00) A graduate of Miami University- Ohio who is currently the Development Coordinator for the Organization for Youth Empowerment in El Progreso, Honduras. Amanda shares her story about her journey from a college campus to serving the disadvantaged youth of Honduras.

It was a night that no one would forget.
The night the Jesus Christ was
born. Join us as we journey through this Advent season and hear the
first hand reflections of those who experienced that night, some two
thousand years ago.
In this final week before CHRISTmas, on the Advent Sunday of Love, Mary (Brianna English) shares as she recounts her journey as the one God chose to be the earthly mother of Jesus.
This young woman, probably a teenage, has seen a lot, and has stored it all in her heart. We know that Mary never set out
to be the mother of the Messiah, but when God asked, she said yes. She’s reflecting on the
night her son was born.

In Week 3, a WIseman (Don Dewald) shares as he recounts his journey as one of the magi from the east and the surprise at the end of it all.The wisemen were wise because of their willingness to listen. As we continue in our journey to Christmas we are reminded that we need to spend more time listening to each other and to God...to give the most precious of gifts: our time and attendtion.

In Week 2, Joseph (Dan Black) shares about his understanding of being the earthly dad (step dad) to Jesus Christ. His story is an
encouragement that God does have a plan and that His plan is good...even when we aren't quite sure...because...we are never alone...Jesus became flesh to prove that.
