Cornerstone Baptist Church

The Messiah's confirmation in birth and His confirmation in baptism.

Biblical repentance is a radical change in life, not a change in thought. Even centuries after John, the concept of repentance still applies today.

The Gospel is the power of God for salvation

The preservation of Israel's rightful King, the uneventful progression of the child/King and the puzzling proclamation of the young Messiah/King.

Why is it so important:

- to understand the person of Christ?

- that Jesus is God?

- that Jesus is man?

- that Jesus arose from the grave?

- that Jesus is Lord?

The mysterious appearance of the wise men from the east, the surprising announcement and unexpected mission and Herod's agitation and hatred towards the King.

An introduction to the book of Romans. The five characteristics are centrality of the Gospel, authority of the Scriptures, sola focus on Jesus, slavehood of the saints and living sent for His name's sake.

A source of comfort to some and conviction to others.

The Messiah's Miraculous Incarnation, the Angel's Glorious Declaration and the Shepherd's Joyous Celebration.
