In a world full of stress and seriousness, one of God’s greatest gifts is often forgotten: laughter. This message explores how a “cheerful heart” is like a continual feast and how humor—from silly jokes to life’s quirky questions (like why round pizzas come in square boxes)—is a divine blessing designed to lift our spirits, cut through darkness, and bring us joy. Discover the difference between a hollow laugh and the rich, real laughter that comes from a heart full of gladness in the Lord.

Every life has a soundtrack. Upbeat music for working, mellow music for relaxing, and sacred music for worship. This Thanksgiving, we’re exploring one of God’s most powerful and overlooked gifts: the gift of music. Discover how praise is a “rehearsal for heaven” and why your voice—yes, your voice—is a beautiful instrument for gratitude, no matter how it sounds. It’s time to thank God for the song in your heart.

Every day, we face a choice. Will we be defined by our faith or our fear? Will we live as blessed or stressed? This November, join us for a four-part series that explores the daily decisions that shape our spiritual lives. We’ll discover how to be grounded, shine brightly, and cultivate a heart of gratitude. Don’t just go through life—choose to live it well.
by Church @ 434 | Nov 23, 2025 | Upbeat or Beat Up
There are one of two ways to face life. You can be grateful or you can be a grumbler.
Grateful people are thankful people – Grumblers have made the choice to see the worst and even more destructively – be the worst version of themselves.
As we wrap up this series and get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, make this the day you choose to live Upbeat instead of Beat Up.
by Church @ 434 | Nov 22, 2025 | Faith in Action, Rockin' Around the Tree
Jeff called tonight “Christmas Dreaming,” but dreams work best when accompanied by action. We start by sharing our favorite family traditions—and discussing how to handle it when life throws a curveball, forcing those traditions to change.
But we aren’t just talking; we’re putting the previous sermon into practice. Join us as we utilize the church directory and take a moment to write Christmas cards to those who can’t be with us. It’s a simple, practical way to fulfill the biblical command to “encourage one another.” You don’t need a grand gesture to make a difference this season; sometimes, a small note is all it takes.
