In a world that feels like it’s constantly on fire, many of us are quietly asking the same question: When is Jesus going to come back and make things right? Has God forgotten His promises—or us?
In this timely message, Pastor Mike invites us to see waiting through a different lens. God’s apparent delay isn’t neglect or indifference—it’s mercy. Every moment of waiting is an opportunity for repentance, restoration, and rescue.
This sermon challenges the idea that patience means passivity. Instead, Scripture calls us to active patience: living faithfully, loving generously, and pursuing holiness while we wait. Like a farmer tending the field before the harvest, we’re called to invest in what matters most—even when results feel slow.
If you’re feeling weary, restless, or tempted to lose hope, this message will reframe the waiting and call you to live with purpose, urgency, and eternal perspective.

Living Nativity Festival
Again this year, we’ll be visiting Granite Creek Church in Claremont for their 24th Annual Living Nativity. But this time around, there’s a twist!,
This year, it’s grown into a full-out festival with a variety-show format–a refreshed 45-minute program celebrating the birth of Jesus through sing-along Christmas carols, an original dance number by Adage Dance Center, and a nativity-focused skit.
Additionally, kids can catch a new live-action Christmas themed show in our immersive Children's Ministry space. Guests can shop in the Nativity Marketplace, pet a camel, roast some s'mores, grab a bite from the food vendors, and much more!
The program runs two nights only–December 20 & 21 from 5-9pm. No tickets are needed and parking is free.

Keeping Christmas in Balance - NOW PLAYING
The holidays can be magical… and overwhelming. Between presents, parties, traditions, pressure, and the ever-present commercial noise, it’s easy for Christmas to drift far from what it was meant to be. In this special Christmas episode, Mike sits down with a very unusual guest — Santa Claus (with a little help from a friend!) — to explore the surprising Christian origins behind the Santa story, why our culture gravitates toward wish-fulfillment, and how we can keep Christ at the center of a season that often feels like “Christ-mess.” From family traditions to Scripture habits, from nostalgic decorations to navigating grief and loss during the holidays, this conversation is packed with practical ways to restore joy, balance, and meaning this Christmas.
