We dive into the uniqueness of Jesus, the revelation of God's glory, and the transformative power of eyewitness testimony, showing how the Christian story is not just good and beautiful but profoundly true.

We unpack John 1:14, specifically the phrase "he dwelt among us" - revealing how God’s ultimate desire to dwell with us is fulfilled in Jesus. We are invited to live out His love as we await the day He makes all things new and dwells with us forever.

This Advent, we reflect on John 1:14, beginning with “The Word became flesh.” The eternal God took on human form, uniting with us to rescue and reconcile. The incarnation is the heart of Christmas, calling us to wonder and worship.

Why did Jesus come? This week we unpack how His mission to save us from sin, call sinners into His Kingdom, and become the priority of our l ives changes everything.

If we learned the posture of Jesus' mission last week, this week we learn the power of his mission. He sets out to boldly show just who he is - the Son of Man and the Son of God - in being Lord of heaven and earth.

Coming off the mountain top where he gave the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus begins to practice what he just preached, and in doing so he shows us the posture of his mission - unequivocally toward the other of society.

As Jesus concludes his famous Sermon on the Mount, he wraps up with a series of ultimatums. His core question is, "What are you going to do with my words?"

People don't like judgmental Christians. Jesus doesn't either. He makes the case that if we can lay aside unrighteous judgmentalism, we can then take up the mantle and walk in the Golden Rule, for God's glory.

Jesus addresses anxiety head on in our passage today. As we seek to orient our lives around God and others, Jesus anticipates our "What about this?" and our "What about that?". Our anxiety creeps in and tell us that we should prioritize many things, not one.

Jesus dives into the practices of fasting and simplicity, and ultimately wants us to experience life as it was designed: simple and completely directed toward God and others.
