Behind the Series: Christmas Stress

It's Christmastime . . . which also means it's a time full of stress.

Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson preview the December sermon series, "Christmas Stress," and look at some of the stressors we all deal with: doubt, prayer, pride, and feeling overwhelmed. As they give us a sneak peek, we also learn that Pastor Mike had a custom-built altar of incense in one of his messages to provide a powerful visual, why prayer is so hard for Pastor Mike, why Amber was arguing with Pastor Mike as she listened to his sermon on pride, and why Pastor Mike says, "Pride is always the problem. Always."

December is also a special month. Some generous friends have offered a $150,000 Challenge Grant! That means when you give this month, your dollars go twice as far! As a thank-you for your gift, you will receive a 2023 Seek God wall calendar full of powerful Bible passages and inspiring thoughts from Pastor Mike, and you'll also receive a "Best of 2022" DVD featuring this year's top 5 messages from Pastor Mike. Starting this Sunday, Dec. 4, on timeofgrace.org, you can receive the wall calendar and DVD with your gift.
