Week 2: Daily Anxiety vs. Daily Grace
Scripture:
Rewatch the Full Service
Missed us on Sunday or want to hear the sermon or the music again? Join us for the full Liturgy, including our songs for the week: "We Three Kings," "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Come You Unfaithful," and "Good Christian Men Rejoice."
Watch: The Weekly Deep Dive
In this week's video, we move from the "frantic searching" of Mary and Joseph to the "pre-world" promises found in Ephesians. We explore why Jesus isn't lost, and why that means you don't have to live on spiritual autopilot.
