The first Christmas was an adventure like no other. Angels, a journey to Bethlehem, an angry king, shepherds, a manger, and more! Let the incredible adventure of the first Christmas light up your Advent.

Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount to his disciples so that we might know him as Savior and King and live joyfully in his kingdom. As his disciples and citizens of his kingdom, we are given a new identity by faith in Christ. Jesus calls us to radical repentance and countercultural living, but we can only respond well by the grace found in our relationship with him.

All of Scripture points to Jesus and faith in him. The entire Old Testament served as a shadow of the greater realities found in Christ. In that sense, Jesus is greater than all things, even the glorious things found under the Old Covenant. He is greater than Moses, the Sabbath, the priesthood, and the sacrifices. This has every implication for the believer’s faith and living. Christians of every generation must worship him as the greatest of all.

Though doctrine of the Holy Spirit tends to be a controversial topic in many circles, it's clear from Scripture that we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit - that is, to experience the fullness of God and be empowered to live a life glorifying to him. Through this mini-series, we'll explore how the filling of the Spirit is not just intellectual, but experiential.

There is no perfect Christian, and we all have potluck theology on some level that needs constant weeding, but we are still the church by God’s grace and there is always hope as we look to Christ. Paul knew the remedy and aimed his words in full focus on Christ alone. Let’s be a church that is captivated by Christ as we worship him.

Ecclesiastes is an invitation to the weary traveler who is frustrated, beaten, and worn, to enter a shelter and lay your questions there. It also speaks to the person who finds life very unfulfilled. God offers the solution to dissatisfaction. Ultimately, we will find joy in him. This journey begins at the gateway of fearing God. 

Many think there is no place for lament and doubts in the Christian life. But Scripture says otherwise and proves that raw and honest prayer is a healthy Christian practice. Habakkuk teaches that, while you cannot demand a reason for your pain, you can expect a redemption.
