Typically, we view the Biblical story of the nativity as cute and sweet, with a little baby and some shepherds and wisemen. But, did you know that the Christmas story in the Bible involves a dragon and war? Sometimes, we need to be reminded not just of what's happening physically, but what is happening behind the scenes in the spiritual world. The birth of Jesus was so important that an enemy was ready to attack.
This week, we begin a brand new series as we enter the Easter season. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the people line the streets in worship. But do their hearts truly belong to Jesus? How do we know that our worship is genuine or artificial? Our Worship Pastor, Jason Chandler, challenges us on our true worship of Jesus.

What do you do with the big dreams, struggles, or things on your heart? Do you try to figure them out on your own? Are you taking them before God and asking Him to respond? This week, we look at the life of Hannah in the Old Testament and how she diligently prayed and trusted God for the things on her heart.
