Jesus Came For The Sinner
Jesus didn't come for the righteous, but for the sinner, just like a physician doesn't come for healthy people, but for the sick.
The Authority Of Jesus
Jesus cast out a demon with just a word. The enemy knows it has to obey the Holy One of God. Take heart that our God is for you and His Word has power and authority!
The Temptation Of Jesus
Jesus' temptation sets him apart from Adam, because every place Adam failed under temptation, Jesus stood firm. He is now our Great High Priest who is able to sympathize!
The Sonship Of Christ
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
Point To Jesus
John the Baptist's life was so clearly pointing to Jesus, the one who was coming to actually save us from our sin. He was bold and unashamed of his message!
Gospel Hospitality | Part Two
Someone else's needs are never convenient for you, but it is an opportunity to love God by loving your neighbor! Because when you serve those in need, you serve the King as well. What an honor!
God's Purpose For Your Life
Jesus was found in the temple as a boy, already stepping into the purpose His Father had placed on His life. It is an example for us, because we too have been given an eternal purpose! Let's daily lean into what we have been called to
Waiting In Faith
Some seasons are a time of waiting, and the Lord forms us in those seasons! Wait in faith, trusting that the Lord is working.
Good On Your Promise
The Lord keeps His word, and we get to see that so clearly as Zechariah recalls so many prophecies that are being fulfilled in the birth of John and the coming birth of Jesus.
Uncomfortable Joy
Sean examines the birth of John the Baptist and joy that is found in God's plan rather than the pleasures of the world.
Mary's Song
Mary blesses the Lord with a heart of gratitude, although her circumstances could've easily lead her to complain or live in fear and worry.
The Visitation
When Mary visits Elizabeth, we see 2 different generations encouraging one another and blessing one another. What a beautiful picture of community needed in the body!
Let It Be To Me According To Your Word
Mary's response when told she would bear the Son of God is an example of surrender and willingness for us all to learn from!
The Annunciation Of John
When an angel appeared to Zechariah telling him he would have a son, Zechariah doubted rather than believed. So he was struck mute! How often our doubts cause us to be mute. Let this message bolden you to proclaim what you believe - that Jesus is Lord.
