Today we are kicking off our advent series for 2024! Hannah is sharing on hope... Hope for the present & hope for the future. Hope is not the anticipation of a positive outcome based on reason, rather is the anticipation of a positive outcome based on God's trustworthiness. Alongside our Sunday teaching, we have a daily advent reflection available on our social media & podcast platforms.

Hey, welcome to our Goodlife podcast, we're so glad your here. This week we celebrated our annual Thanksgiving Sunday - a special time to reflect on God's goodness and faithfulness. Josiah has a top 10 highlight reel for the year and then Mike shares his personal reflections and invites us to join in God’s incredible story of restoration, reflecting on Psalm 145:4 "Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts."

On Sunday we were incredibly privileged to have Marjan Beer share with us as a part of our series on JESUS ENCOUNTERS. Marjan is such a wonderful member of our community who has recently been running our Women's Retreats as well as our weekly group Bible Studies. In her message she shared about how she reignited her relationship with Jesus through 2 things:

1. Imagination. Placing yourself in the bible, read the gospels like a novel.

2. Community. Jesus is represented all around us, and how do we represent him to others?
