Are you feeling Stuck? - Thoughts with Pastor Matt Hoyt

Are you feeling stuck? This week Pastor Matt Hoyt encourages us to shift our focus! Most of the time we make our own plans and then bring them to God for His blessing. However, we are not in control and we must refocus and trust God. Pastor Matt shares prayers that we can use to help change our focus and get unstuck in the new year!

Prepare Him Room

In the story of Jesus’ birth, we’re told that he was born in a stable because there was no room at the inn. The Bible doesn’t actually mention an innkeeper, but the poor guy gets a pretty bad wrap for someone we’re not even sure existed because of this. Yet, it didn’t end there, Jesus often found that people didn’t have room for Him. The Jewish leaders didn’t have room for Jesus, neither did King Herod or the Romans, they all saw Him as a threat or problem. Most of the people didn’t have room for Jesus either because He wasn’t what they expected or wanted Him to be. Today many people still don’t have room for Jesus because inviting him into their lives and hearts would mean real change. Yet despite all of our reservations, the great Christmas carol Joy to the World proclaims, “Let every heart prepare Him room.” So can we make room? Are we too busy? Too afraid? Too proud? Are we closed to Jesus or can we make room for Him and all He wants to bring to and do in us?

This Week's Messages!

“One Room at a Time” (The Magi)

Matthew 2:1-12 & Philippians 1:6

The Magi could have stayed home, instead they went seeking after more of what God held for them and they weren’t disappointed. Will we continue to seek after and make room for Jesus in our hearts and lives each day?
