South Hills Santa Clarita

This series is about... Understanding that most of us have some idea of who we want to be & what we want to do, but we’ve also got this elaborate mental list of who we feel like we have to be & what we have to do. We can’t be and do it all. So... How do you know what to do & pursue? And how do follow through and stay on task? What would it look like to get to the end of this year with the satisfaction of having lived it well—on purpose; by design, not default?

2020 is just around the corner. Literally! And 2019 is just about finished. Everything and anything that happened last year happened...the good, the bad and the ugly..is over. A new year will soon be upon us. If last year was confusing and chaotic, be encouraged that a new year is coming. If last year was full of disappointments, setbacks and challenges, be encouraged...a new year is coming. If last year was your best year yet, be even more encouraged that a new year is coming. All of God’s lessons, teachings, and blessings for 2019 have come to an end and are to be filed away. The time to reflect is now. We need to use these past experiences as a kickstart to what God is going to do in this new year. Because with a new year comes new lessons, new teachings, new blessings...new encounters and new experiences. New Expectations! God is in the business of doing new things!

Now most of us know the Christmas story—or at least some version of it. But in this series, as we talk about the Christmas Story...We are focusing one the people in the story. And asking questions like… Why did God choose these people, at this time in human history to tell such an incredible and significant story? And if we were to push past WHAT God did & take a deeper look at WHO He did it through, what might we see that we didn’t see before? How might Christmas come alive for us when we breathe new life into what it was really like for them?

We are talking about Relationships. Specifically ...“What makes relationships work? Why do we seem to click with & feel cared for by certain people, while others give us the impression we’re insignificant, invisible, or in-the-way?
