You only need to read a few verses in Luke 2 and you'll find multiple surface level contradictions that signal the arrival of Jesus. Don’t be afraid…while they were very afraid. A Savior is born…One Who will save the world…has been born. Look for the Messiah and Master…wrapped in a blanket and laying in a manger. Peace on Earth!

Christmas often times feels full of ongoing contradictions. May this message bring you some wisdom and comfort during such times.

The Second Coming of Christ that history is waiting for is not the same as the baby Jesus or even the historical Jesus. The historical Jesus was one man, and Christ is not his last name. The Christ includes the whole sweep of creation and history joined with him—and you too. We call this the Cosmic Christ. We ourselves are a member of the Body of Christ and the Cosmic Christ, even though we are not the historical Jesus. So we very rightly believe in "Jesus Christ," and both words are essential.

If we can’t be positively present right now without creating a problem, nothing new is ever going to happen. We will only experience what we already agree with and what does not threaten us and our preferred mode of being. We will never experience the unexpected depth and contentment that is always being offered to us.  

Evangelist Dan Warner shares the third part of the series Apocalypto. The apocalypse "unveiling" of the Christ is more than most of us have assumed. It's never been about the end of the world, but the true beginning of living with meaning.

In this message to finish up the series, Dr. Hester takes a look at the Lamb Who takes away the sin of the world. This is the clear image of God we behold through the image of the Lamb slain.

In this message we see God as a heavenly missionary. We see him time and again baring the sin of people and working with them where there are.

Evangelist Dan Warner brings an encouraging and challenging word on the significance of the ministry of reconciliation and how it practically manifests in our lives.

We all first approach God as His enemy…not on His part, but on ours. Our behavior makes us believe we are enemies of God, but nothing is farther from the truth. God has no enemies!

The Crisis of Faith with Evangelist Dan Warner.

As is true of Rorschach tests, the way God appears to people says at least as much about them as it does about God. Insofar as God's noncoercive Spirit can break through the hearts and minds of people- insofar as these hearts are inclined in the direction of faithfulness, blamelessness, and purity- God can reveal himself as He truly is. But insofar as people have twisted hearts and minds that suppress God's Spirit, they inevitably understand and experience God in ways that reflect their own twisted hearts and minds.
