    The Apostle John reveals a Jesus who is our way, our truth, and our life, who gives us purpose, meaning, connection, and endurance in this new year.

    John 1:1-14, 18 God in the Flesh Sometimes Christmas comes and goes, and we wonder, “What was all the fuss about?” All the shopping, the traffic, the shows, and glitter and glamor and wrapping paper. And now the New Year, with resolutions, diet plans, and credit card bills! What does it all ...read more

    In the first Christmas, we learn from Joseph and Mary how to trust God. It begins by making ourselves available, then treating others with respect, and finally following the nudges of the Holy Spirit.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Learning to Trust God Have you ever been driving down the road, trying to get somewhere with your navigator or your smart phone giving you directions? And you start doubting whether that thing really knows what it’s talking about? Now I’ve had it work out both ways. Sometimes that ...read more

    The prophet Isaiah teaches us about joy born at Christmas: to encourage joy in others, to receive joy's healing, and to pursue joy in community. Joy to the world, the Lord is come!"

    Isaiah 35:1-10 Joy Born at Christmas We concluded last week’s service with the great carol, “Joy to the World.” Joy is a distinctly Christian trait. It goes beyond happiness. Someone once said, “Happiness comes from happenings, but joy comes from Jesus.” Your happiness may fluctuate up and down, ...read more

    Jesus came as our Messiah, our Christ, fulfilling a 700-year-old prophecy of deliverance. In so doing, he still today brings us understanding, justice, and peace.

    Isaiah 11:1-10 Hope Born at Christmas Christmas is about miracles. Christmas is about hope and peace and love. Christmas is prophesied here in the book of Isaiah, written some 700 years before Jesus’ birth. Times were hard then. The 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom had already fallen to the ...read more

    Jesus shares illustrations to show that his return will be sudden and unexpected. His call on us is to be ready at any moment. The First Sunday of Advent reminds us that Jesus came, and Jesus is coming again!

    Matthew 24:36-44 Maintaining Readiness The military has a readiness system of green, amber and red, to illustrate threat levels we might face at any given time. When you go on base or on post, you’ll see a Force Protection Condition, or FPCON, ranging from normal to delta. Likewise, the president ...read more

    When trouble strikes, whether it be through natural calamity or human conflict, the psalmist reminds us to slow down, stay calm, and lean on God. He will get us through.

    Psalm 46:1-11 When Trouble Comes Trouble comes to everyone at some point. No one escapes it. If you’re not having a bad day today, you will one day. And what will you do then? Will you fall apart? Will you give up on God? On the world? On yourself? The psalm writers, these sons of Korah, speak ...read more

  • Relationships In The Hereafter

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,815 views

    What will life be like in heaven? We'll have bodies that are physical, permanent, recognizable, and spiritual. We will have relationships so vital with Christ and each other that marriage will no longer be needed.

    Luke 20:27-38 Relationships in the Hereafter Sometimes we are forced to say good-bye to those we love. And in those most trying of times, we hold onto the biblical idea of a great reunion of all believers in a place called heaven. But in today’s scripture Jesus tells us there won’t be marriage as ...read more

  • When A Little Guy Meets A Big God

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,547 views

    Jesus reaches out to the smallest and the evilest among us with a very personal invitation. He calls us by name. He invites himself over. He desires nothing less than a radically changed life, submitted to him, and all for our good!

    Luke 19:1-10 When a Little Guy Meets a Big God Today’s passage is a very popular children’s Bible story, but it’s a lot more than that. It reveals the very heart of God: one who pursues each one of us to draw us into a loving personal relationship with him, and in so doing, to change our entire ...read more

  • A Prayer God Hears

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,749 views

    Jesus shows two very different prayer styles, and in so doing, reveals two very different heart styles. One will enter the kingdom of heaven; one won't. Our prayer life should reflect humility throughout.

    Luke 18:9-14 A Prayer God Hears Last week we looked at a parable where Jesus taught us to be persistent in our prayers: pray always, never give up, and above all, keep the faith! Today, in the very next passage in the Bible, Jesus makes a different point: he really points to the very crux of our ...read more

  • Persistent Prayer

     | 11,534 views

    Jesus teaches us to pray always, never give up, and keep the faith until he returns. This kind of prayer keeps the line open with God throughout the day.

    Luke 18:1-8 Persistent Prayer George Mueller prayed for a man for 63 years to come to Christ, and finally the man did so. When Mueller died, he had documented 50,000 answers to prayer! 5,000 of those were answered on the day he prayed for them, which means that about 90% of the time he had to ...read more

    When we feel like giving up, we need to do what Jeremiah did. We need to remember: God loves us, God is faithful to us, and God will save us.

    Lamentations 3:19-26 When All Hope is Lost Life is hard at times. Your spouse is unfaithful. Your health takes a turn for the worst. A friend betrays you. Your grandchild goes down the wrong path. Your spouse dies. Sometimes our heart is breaking. We know we can’t do anything to change what is ...read more

    Our world focuses on more, more, more. Paul, in his letter to young pastor Timothy, coaches contentment, gratefulness, and sharing, building up riches in heaven.

    1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19 In the Almighty Dollar We Trust People who trap animals in Africa for zoos in the Western world say that one of the hardest animals to catch is the ring-tailed monkey. For the local Zulus, though, it’s fairly simple. They know the monkeys love the seeds of a locally grown ...read more

  • Wisdom In Wealth

     | 5,178 views

    In perhaps the most challenging parable to understand, Jesus calls us to use our worldly wealth for divine purposes, to be faithful where we are, and to keep God first in our lives.

    Luke 16:1-13 Wisdom in Wealth What if you came to church one Sunday, and your pastor got up to give the sermon and said, “I don’t have a clue what this means!” Well, I’m pretty close to that with today’s passage. Maybe you could relate to that kind of pastor, since sometimes the Bible is just hard ...read more

  • God’s Unconventional Reach

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,265 views

    Jesus shares three stories to show how much every person matters to God. Jesus calls us to repent and return to him, love people he loves, and celebrate with heaven when lost people are found.

    Luke 15:1-10 God’s Unconventional Reach Have you ever lost anything? It’s really irritating, isn’t it? Losing car keys, losing your wallet, losing your cell phone. They make devices to ping all these things, but I’m sure I would probably lose that, too! Luke chapter 15 is all about lost things, ...read more

    The potter and the wheel remind us to: 1) Believe in a Master who can rebuild. 2) Accept the Master's design. And 3) Stay in the Master's hand.

    Jeremiah 18:1-11 Remembering Who is in Charge We got interested in the potter’s wheel when our son became an apprentice to a potter for six months. What a fabulous art form! And beautiful to watch, as the wheel spins. The great prophet Jeremiah observed a potter at work and heard God speak ...read more
