Adventurous Living - The Meadow Springs Community Church Podcast

Jesus lived among the people. He preached, performed miracles and His presence was noteworthy... but why keep it a secret? Mark announces the 'beginning of the good news', the Gospel, but its not really good news until the cross.

Since the first century AD, we've been on the edge of the end… the edge of the return of Christ. Come, Lord Jesus.

The presence of Jesus is not just Emmanuel at Christmas time. Wherever we are - here, there or anywhere - the Holy Spirit is with us. That place becomes the Holy Land and where we stand is holy ground.

When you wake up on Christmas morning, may you experience the full presence of Jesus our Savior, and know that God is WITH you. He has been there all along.

Emmanuel isn't a vague feeling of "god with me" but rather the reality of "the King with me". He has come to give us salvation - a hope and a purpose. Emmanuel, invade our little world so we may shout "Glory to God in the Highest".

Despite the enemies raging around us - despite this present darkness, trust Him because the child is coming!

Think about the difference between the words expensive and precious. Which of those is the most valuable?

Living for Jesus and pointing people toward Him means He is it. He's the One on whom our gaze should rest. It's not 'political agreement' and Jesus, 'right-living' and Jesus or even 'I got this on my own' and Jesus. It's just Jesus.

God Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn. There is no other. God cannot give us a happiness and a peace apart from Himself. There is no such thing.

The world and the Word is charged with the grandeur of God ... the glory of Jesus. Do we have eyes to see and ears to hear so that we may know Him?
