Matthew 1:18-25, 2:13-18
Pastor Ryan Smith closes out our Advent series looking at how we can find and experience the peace or shalom of God by looking at the life of Joseph. Often we consider peace to be non-confrontational, fragile and only available outside of the boundaries of "ordinary life". But as we look to life of Joseph, we find a peace that breaks and challenges each of those assumptions.

1 John 4:7-21
As the children of God, we enter into the season of Advent as a time to revel in the love of God, abiding in it, and letting it warm our hearts. And as the self-giving love of God reaches our deepest selves, we discover that it's our call to embody it as well. Guest Pastor Brook Mosser teaches on the love of Advent and how we can share it.

From the series "Church of the Good Shepherd". Exodus 33:12-23, Psalm 23
As we celebrate the beginning of our seventh year as Collective Church, Pastor Ryan Smith begins a six-week series titled, "Church of the Good Shepherd: A Vision Series from Psalm 23". The most important "vision" in the life of any church is not a plan for what we'll do, but a revelation of who God is. As we begin this new series, we look at the first verse of Psalm 23 and the significance of seeing God as our Shepherd and the sort of life this opens up before us.
