In this message we study at 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 in an effort to understand how the most challenging seasons in life are often opportunities to experience the grace and power of Jesus like never before.

Throughout much of Israel’s history, God spoke to His people through the prophets. Through one prophet, Isaiah, God spoke of a Suffering Servant—a sinless person who would die to bear the sins and guilt of sinful people. And so, hundreds of years before his birth, God spoke about Jesus and his sacrificial death to save mankind.

Zechariah prepares us for the coming Messiah.

Mankind has fallen, but God has not abandoned them. Instead, throughout the entire history of the Old Testament God makes promises (covenants) to his people. From Noah to Abraham, and Moses to David, God promises to bless and restore. And all of those promises find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus.

Advent is a season of longing and anticipation as we celebrate the first coming of Christ and we prepare our hearts for His return. In this kick-off message to our Advent series, we look at the reason for Jesus’ coming: the Fall of mankind and God’s promise to bring his people home.

In his letter the Philippians, Paul addresses and gives very practical advice on one of the habits that is essential for a Christian’s life.

Moses is about to die. For 40 years, Moses has led an ungrateful, unfaithful people through the wilderness. The original generation has all but passed away, and now he speaks to their children and grandchildren. Life and death are before them, he warns. And then come some of his final words: choose life.

After the incident with the golden calf, God tells the Israelites to move on…without His presence. Moses intercedes once again for the people and reminds God that Israel is his nation. In the end, Exodus 33 reminds us of the power of God’s glory, the importance of his presence, and the wonder of the what Christ has done for us.

What we see in Exodus 32, isn’t an issue, it’s the issue, the sin beneath the sin.
