This message begins our Advent series for the 2016 Christmas season, A Remarkable Gift. What does it mean that Jesus "became flesh?" That's what this message explores.

Just as the church is to give thanks during national upheaval, based on the promises of preservation, so should the church give thanks during her own internal strife. God's blessings far outweigh the negativity that may be occurring, but, more than that, thanksgiving becomes a standard by which can measure our actions.

After the presidential election, some people were elated and some were devastated. Regardless of our emotions, however, Christians should give thanks. An election is not the end. Jeremiah and Judah were looking at what they thought would be the end, true national upheaval, but even then, God had a promise for them. We give thanks for the promise.

Jesus only uses the word 'church' twice in the gospels, but those two times are vital to having a clear understanding of what the church must look like. Those two statements also prepare us to see what the one and only mission of the church: to make disciples. Other activities may be tools or just good things, but they are peripheral to the mission Jesus has commanded.

This series through Jonah talks specifically about how today's churches act a lot like Jonah in our attempts at outreach, and our responses mirror his toward people that we deem 'undesirable' for our church. The doors must be open and the Gospel must be preached.

This message looks at four aspects of the Lord's Supper that are critical for a true understanding of it's importance for the called out body of believers. It's a message of love, joy, hope, and reflection.

The calling on the subjects of Jesus' Kingdom is not a calling, to a docile, safe, cloistered Christian life. It is a call to division. It is a call to persecution. It is a call to die. Jesus' people are called to leave everything behind--from friends to family to themselves--if that is what it takes to answer to call of the mission.

This is the first message in a new series, "Jesus' Church," looking at the church in the Gospels. We begin with a few weeks in Matthew and see on this first Sunday that Jesus' Church, Living Called Out, is a Kingdom. Our allegiance is first and foremost to our heavenly King, and not a political party or country. As subjects of that Kingdom, there are certain understandings we should have, and a brief survey of the Sermon On the Mount shows them to us.
