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.
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.

Is the world trying to keep you unhappy? Tonight, we expose the “discouragement conspiracy”—the cultural lie that tells you you’re never enough just to sell you more stuff.
From Kentucky basketball struggles to the nostalgia of David Letterman’s Top 10 lists, we dive into why true happiness is countercultural. It turns out, the secret to an upbeat life isn’t about focusing on yourself; it’s about “embracing the confrontation” of serving others. Join us as we break down the Bible’s ultimate “Top 10” list of commands that will change your relationships and unlock the joy you’ve been looking for.

Did you know God has an “A-Plan” for community, and you’re invited to be a part of it? Jesus didn’t just leave us with teachings; He established the local church as the primary place where His followers would love, support, and grow with one another. This isn’t a backup plan. It’s God’s design for you to find fellowship, use your gifts, and experience the love of Christ in a tangible way. This Thanksgiving, thank God for His A-Plan.

This series looks at what it means to live ‘upbeat’ instead of ‘beat up.’ We dive into the true definition of happiness, revealing why Jesus taught that lasting joy isn’t found in what you get, but in what you give away.
