Advent | Joy
Shared on: Dec 9, 2019
For hundreds of years the church has anticipated the coming of Jesus during the season of Advent. The third week of waiting for his arrival invites us to receive His JOY. Jesus arrived after a period of 400 years of silence, confusion, and longing for the Jewish people. Into this space the angels announced to the shepherds the good news of Jesus that would bring great joy to all people. During Advent we celebrate the joy that Jesus offers in coming close to all humanity and offering us a relationship with God and one another. We also anticipate joy on the day when Jesus will return again and his kingdom will bring in a time of unhindered relationship with God and others.

Advent | Peace
Shared on: Dec 2, 2019
For years the church has anticipated the birth of Jesus during the season of Advent. During the second week of Advent we wait for the PEACE that comes with the birth of Jesus. Jesus arrived after a period of 400 years of silence, confusion, and waiting for the Jewish people. Although, Rome was in the midst of 27 years without war known as the Pax Romana, there was only peace for the Jewish people if they submitted to the rule and subjugation of Rome. Into the midst of this unsettling time Jesus brought the peace of God being close to his people by humbly entering into the frailty and suffering of this world.

Advent | Love
Shared on: Dec 16, 2019

Jesus arrived after a period of 400 years of silence, confusion, and longing for the Jewish people. He demonstrated His love by taking on frail humanity and revealing himself to unlikely people.

Christmas | Joseph, The Father Of Jesus
Shared on: Nov 29, 2016
Look at the Christmas story from a fresh angle through the eyes of Joseph. He was a simple carpenter who courageously obeyed and followed God into an unknown future. He received four different dreams from God and every time he responded by following the guidance God gave him. Joseph was an ordinary man whose openness to God and strength in caring for mother and child challenge our hearts and lives this Christmas season.

Thanksgiving | An Angle From The Psalms
Shared on: Nov 21, 2022
For centuries the Psalms have provided a language for believers to communicate the depth of their thoughts and feelings to God. Jesus and Paul both drew from the Psalms to express their solid Biblical truths and the depths of their hearts. Benedictine orders pray the Psalms daily and Martin Luther declared, "A Psalm a Day Keeps the Devil Away." There are words and images within the Psalms that give people a way to more concretely and intimately express thanks to God. Use this bundle to help teach your congregation rhythms that help to cultivate a posture and lifestyle of gratitude.

The Ten Commandments | The Moral Law
Shared on: Nov 14, 2022
The moral law is the declaration of the will of God to mankind that calls for personal, perfect, and perpetual conformity and obedience thereunto. It promises life upon its fulfillment and threatens death upon the breach of it. The Ten Commandments also reveal something to us other than our sin and need for Christ. It reveals the holy, awesome character and nature of our Triune God. Bring your congregation to their knees by preaching through the Ten Commandments, which is really a summary of what the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would be like and is.

The Book Of Malachi | The Messenger Of The Covenant
Shared on: Nov 7, 2022
Malachi was written to show God's unchanging love for His people by calling them to repentance because the Messiah is coming to bring salvation and condemnation. God is still declaring his unfailing, covenant love for his people by extending his hand each day while we can still be like ancient Israel, resisting and rebelling against our King. While this is the time for us to come to Christ, and to dwell with and in Christ as believers, there is coming a day when the time will be up. We either come into union with the messenger of the covenant now, or we will face him in our sin in the day of judgment.
