The modern world struggles with anything that can't be accounted for scientifically. So when we see Jesus casting out demons or healing people, is it reasonable to believe he did such things? If those stories are true, what are they telling us? Perhaps there's a supernatural component to our existence that we have ignored. Join us to find out!

1) Jesus and the miraculous
2) Jesus and the spirit world
3) Jesus and the rest you need

Text: Luke 4:31-44

Michael Richards, who played Kramer in the famed sitcom Seinfeld, severely harmed his career when he let loose a string of ethnic slurs on the stand-up stage. Years later, it doesn't appear his search for absolution has proven to be fruitful. Yet many of us are quietly living lives acutely aware of our unrighteousness and desperate need for forgiveness. But who can give it? Join us to find out.

Jesus announces his mission statement:
1) What he came to do
2) Who he came to reach
3) How he would be received

Text: Luke 4:14-30

Did Jesus really exist? If he did, then everyone has some work to do: to figure out what kind of existence he had. And if we find he was who he claimed to be, then he can't be ignored.

Key phrases:
1) "Many"
2) "fulfilled among us"
3) "eyewitnesses"
4) "carefully investigated… orderly account"
5) "Theophilus"
6) "that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught."

Text: Luke 1:1-4

We usually want to follow the leader with the perfect resume that comes from a very distinguished family rather than a person with humble beginnings. This is what Nathanael first thought of when he heard of Jesus. Perhaps you have the same thoughts of Jesus as well. Maybe you think he is not one worth following. In the words of Philip, "Come and see," and catch a glimpse of the Son of God!

1) The Identity of Jesus
2) The Exclusivity of Jesus

Text: John 1:43-51

We are impressed by whatever we deem to be greatness. This could be an undefeated sports team or a new technological device with all the right specs. What about a baby in a manger? How could a lowly child really be the King of the universe? We will look at one of the prophecies that foreshadowed the One who truly stands above the rest.

1) The Gift of the Son
2) The Name of the Son

Text: Isaiah 9:1-7

From signs held up during field goals and the bottom of In and Out Burger cups, to Forever 21 shopping bags and Tim Tebow's eye strips, "John 3:16" makes frequent appearances. In its familiarity, what gets lost is the message it contains specifically for you. Come hear about the greatest gift ever given.

The greatest gift...
1) The shocking recipients of it
2) The exorbitant cost of it
3) The means of benefiting from it

Text: Selected Scriptures

Text: Hebrews 1

As we move closer to Christmas, let's begin engaging with the significance of Jesus' arrival expressed in lyrics like these...

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel

Join us for the first of a two-part series, "Emmanuel."

2) To redeem us
3) To model the ideal human being

Text: John 1

“Without air, our cells die. Without a story, our selves die.” - Neil Postman

Many of us are familiar with the saying, “Arguing like an old married couple.” Sadly, this description is more serious than comical for many couples as deep-seated arguments and conflicts, if left unresolved, eventually strain marriages, families, and even ministries and churches.
