God is consistently searching forpeople who are willing submit to him and his plans in order to change the world. Pastor Adrian will guide us through the Word to extract principles used by new rule makers.

At the beginning of the year people are always making New Year's resolutions. Today, Pastor Adrian encourages us to not settle for behavior modification, but to accept Jesus' plan to revolutionize our entire lives. In our own strengths our resolutions rarely ever make it to the end of the year. Rather we should receive Jesus' finished work on the cross that allows and enables us to be changed at our core.

Come explore with us as Pastor Adrian unpacks Luke 2:41-52

One of Jesus' names, all of which allow us to peer into the nature of our savior, is Emmanuel. When translated it literally means God with us. Jesus willingly stepped out of heaven to be with us, to be the example that we should all emulate. Today we explore Jesus Christ's example to us in how he taught us how to live, how to serve and how to suffer. 

Christmas is a time when gifts are given and received. The greatest gift in history was when God sent down His son Jesus to the earth. This gift, however, has met up against the greatest opposition of any other gift in through all time. The greatest obstacle to receiving this wonderful gift is the perspective held by the receiver. We examine the difference between those who had a skewed perspective of Jesus birth which caused the gift to not be received, while also looking to those who waited in great anticipation for this life altering gift.

In our country today, true Christian belief has been, in large part, replaced by a hodgepodge of beliefs. Jesus' gospel message, at times, is in direct opposition to the belief systems at work in our culture. The question then becomes: At the end of your life where will you stand with Jesus based on His teachings?

What were you created to do? This question is posed by people of all ages, from the child in elementary school to the 45 year old who has been in the workforce for years. God has divinely created us in such a way that we flourish when we combine those inherent gifts and the needs of our society

Our culture today fosters the desire inside of us to idolize our occupation. We gain our identity through the significance that we attach to our occupation. The question is will we lay down our idols associated with our occupation and learn to receive our significance through the only one truly worthy of our worship, Jesus.

Our culture has a tendency to assign higher levels of dignity to certain jobs over others.  The career of an executive is generally held in higher esteem than that of someone in a position of service.  The truth is, all work is sacred before God.
