In this episode, Rick brings a little more light to this past week's message based on several comments made on the relevancy of the topic: that all is NOT calm and all is NOT bright for them. There is hope when we have GOD's PERSPECTIVE - looking THROUGH circumstances instead of simply AT them. God intends to build the spiritual muscle of faith in our lives and to have a "grown-up" faith. PLUS Rick talks about the next Christmas Promises message, we encourage Ugly Christmas Sweater Sunday, and the Christmas Eve Service at 4:30 and 6pm.
