Modern culture tells us Christmas is supposed to be filled with "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" and "Jack Frost nipping at your nose." Reminders to get into the "Christmas spirit" are everywhere. But the real Christmas story tells us it's OK not to be OK at Christmas. But in the midst of the tears, the real Christmas story pokes through our sadness with profound hope.

1) The Untold Story of Christmas
2) The Unexpressed Emotion of Christmas
3) The Future Looking Hope of Christmas

Text: Matthew 2:1-23

Christmas is a musical time of the year both culturally and biblically. Join us as we peer into the song of a lesser known character of Christmas: Simeon. We'll take a look at how this relatable figure experiences Christmas the way God intends us to.

2) Movement of the Spirit
3) Consolation

Text: Luke 2:25-32

There is much enjoyment to be found in listening to Christmas tunes like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" or "White Christmas."

1) Peace
2) Glory

Text: Luke 2:14

During the Christmas season many of us enjoy listening to our favorite holiday classics: "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," "Silver Bells" or "White Christmas."  But did you know the Christmas story in the Bible contains some of the greatest hits of all time? This week, we'll look at the Christmas song of a teenager who wonderfully exemplifies the heart of a true worshiper.

The Heart of a Worshiper Is...
1) Steeped in Scripture
2) Overjoyed in the Act of Glorifying God
3) Captivated With the Nature of the Gift

Text: Luke 1:46-55

Text: 1 Samuel 8

A corrupt judge is one who looks the other way while the perpetrator gets away with it. God is not a corrupt judge. This is both good news and bad news, but it's news we have to face honestly if we're going to withstand the day of judgment which looms on the horizon.

1. This Is My Father’s World
2. This World Stands Under His Judgment
3. For Those With Eyes to See, Every Instance of Judgment Is a Prefiguring of Ultimate Judgment
4. That Final Judgment Is Incontestable and Irreversible
5. Our Only Hope Is the Lamb of God

Text: Revelation 6:9-17
