We continue our series on TOUGH QUESTIONS by looking at a question about marriage in heaven. We’ll see this question is a smokescreen for a much deeper question. The answer that Jesus gave again left his audience astonished and leaves us with some decisions about our response.

We continue our series on TOUGH QUESTIONS by looking at a question about paying taxes. The answer that Jesus gave even impressed His detractors.  When you take time to really understand it — it is amazing!

We begin a new series from Mark 12 called TOUGH QUESTIONS. In this study, we see five questions that are asked and answered. It is another “Mark sandwich” and it has some fascinating lessons. In this first section, verses 1-12, we hear Jesus tell a parable, then ask a question, and give an answer. His answer teaches about the powerful concept of a CORNERSTONE.

We conclude our CAROLS OF CHRISTMAS series by looking at a song that we usually sing just once a year,  AULD LANG SYNE.  We are going to focus on relationships as we look backward at 2021 and forwards into 2022 and beyond.  My goal is to give you some practical suggestions on attitudes for the new year!

On December 25-26, the online ONLY service will focus on the oldest carol that we sing, O COME, O COME EMMANUEL.  There will be no notes for this service.

AWAY IN A MANGER will be our Christmas carol for Christmas Eve.  We will look at the simple, prayerful lyrics, but we will also talk about the importance of the MANGER in the story of Christmas.

We study one of the top recorded singles of all time — SILENT NIGHT. We will learn that the lyrics are fine but what makes this carol special is the mood or feel that it provides. The intent is to place the listener back in the moment of that first Christmas Eve. And the song does have some amazing lyrics as well — particularly the third stanza.

We continue our series on Christmas Carols and learn about the story of O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM and the meaning behind the lyrics. We will find some very interesting new lessons about the place where Jesus was born. And, I think we will appreciate the song much more in the future as we sing it.

We look at the second carol in our series, Angels from The Realms of Glory. Some consider this carol one of the greatest hymns ever written. It tells the story of Christmas from different perspectives but also calls for a response. It is one that all Christians should have in their Christmas playlist.
