Matthew 2:1-12
The Magi were important principles in the Christmas story. They studied the stars and the prophecies regarding a promised Messiah, and then risked travel over many weeks to find him. He was the hope of the nations. As we diligently seek the Messiah, God will lead us to Him.

Matthew 1:18-25
Joseph's life around the birth of Jesus shows how God's work in and through our lives is often up against the cultural norms of society. Despite adversity, he pressed on in faith. God's work at Christmas and Easter provides a hope that allows us to persevere through difficulties.

Luke 1:26-56
God seeks to give His people unmerited grace and favor to all play a part in the Good News of His Kingdom breaking into this world. How will you respond if God calls you to show grace and favor to someone? When God showed it to Mary, she responded in humility, passing blessing on to all who believe.

Luke 1:5-7,23-25,39-45
The next encounter with the coming Christ that we study is Elizabeth. In response to God's answering her prayers for a child, she remained humble, and then reached out to bless Mary. Life Lessons from Elizabeth: 1) Be patient and don't lose hope; 2) Be generous, and a blessing to others

Luke 1
As we begin the Advent Series, "Encounters with the Coming Christ", we examine the story of Zechariah. We see that his faithful prayers and service resulted in God's answer. We can learn 2 things from Zechariah's life: 1) keep praying, and don't lose hope, 2) Live in faith that God is present with us.

Haggai 2:10-23
As we conclude our study of Haggai, we see God promising blessing when the heart of the people changed, even though they had not finished the task of rebuilding the Temple. When we have a heart oriented toward God, the cross's power is found and He unleashes His blessing. In this way, we can resist casual Christianity.

Haggai 2:1-9
Though we know we need to grow in Christ, sometimes we get stuck in 1) Enjoy the good ol' days Christianity, 2) Read more books Christianity, 3) Cruise Control Christianity, or 4) Spiritually powerless Christianity. Instead, we should 1) Become more aware of His presence now, for He is with you, 2) Find hope in the past, and 3) Find hope in the future.

Haggai 1:1-15
We begin a 3-part series on the Old Testament book of Haggai, which describes the circumstances surrounding the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. As we see the attitudes and lifestyle of the Jewish people, and God's call for them to rebuild, we can see parallels to our tendency to be casual Christians, and God's call to us to not settle for anything less than His daily presence in our lives.

Ephesians 3:16-19
As we conclude the series on "Christ, the Kingdom, and Culture", we see how the Gospel can speak to the issue of mental health. Many individuals mentioned in Scripture wrestled with times of discouragement and depression. We examine how God ministered to Elijah during those times. See how God can help you think better and behave better, so you can eventually feel better.

Luke 5:27-32
The church of Jesus is to be a hospital. Sinners saved by grace helping sinners find mercy, love and grace. Jesus was a friend of sinners. We should not only preach the Gospel of Jesus, but practice it as He did. We look at the issue of abortion. We may stand against it, but does the world see the church as a place to find love and hope. We must be pro-life for the born, as well as the unborn.
