SHEESH: "Moral Beauty" (Luke 10:30-34 & Acts 2:43-45) - Rev Mark Feldmeir - January 11, 2026

CURRENT SERIES - Sheesh: Cultivating Wonder in a Monochrome World

“Sheesh” is more than an expression of surprise—it’s a recognition that life is filled with moments that take our breath away, if only we notice them. This series challenges us to break free from the autopilot of modern life and cultivate a heart that marvels at God’s presence in both the extraordinary and the ordinary.

Through six transformative weeks, we’ll explore ancient spiritual practices that awaken wonder. Join us as we trade our tired, monochrome existence for a life painted with wonder, meaning, and divine surprise.

Arrival: A Journey Through the Season of Expectation

This Advent, we invite you to pause, reflect, and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ through our series Arrival. In a world marked by uncertainty, division, and constant noise, we yearn for signs that God is still breaking through—still showing up in unexpected ways to make good on ancient promises.

Arrival explores the profound truth that God doesn't wait for perfect conditions to enter our lives. Hope arrives in seasons of waiting. Peace arrives amid chaos. Joy arrives independent of our circumstances. Love arrives in the most inhospitable places. And Light arrives to dispel every darkness.

Over four weeks, we'll journey through the themes of Advent with fresh eyes, discovering that Christ's arrival isn't just a historical event we commemorate—it's an ongoing reality we can experience today.
