Luke 2 reveals to us that the shepherds who were first to hear of the coming of Jesus, responded to that news. What did they do when they heard of the coming Messiah? What did they do when they finally saw the Messiah in that manger with Mary and Joseph? We can most certainly learn something from the response of these shepherds on that first Christmas!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the famous poem and now Christmas song, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." This Civil War era poem draws from the first ever song sung by the angels at the birth of Jesus Christ. This beautiful carol should remind us that in the midst of our Christmas celebrations, we are not just filled with joy for the coming of a baby, but for the coming of the Prince of Peace, with whom the Father is pleased!

T-shirts, hats, and mugs are all plastered with these sayings that turn Jesus into a punchline. Jesus is most certainly our friend, but He is not our homeboy. Today we will examine Hebrews 1:1-3 to gain some insight on the qualities that Jesus possesses.

Today's culture is purposefully trying to lead people away from God. One way that this is done is through our identity. This study will show that God made us in His image, for a purpose, and for His glory. The Bible is crystal clear about how God made us, and who we are in HIM!

Mark Little shares an important lesson about the words that we use. And not just the words we use, but how we use them. As the church, we are expected to speak in a way that glorifies God. Let this lesson not just address our speech in the church, but out in plain view of the world as well.

Wisdom cries aloud in the street, can you hear her? This study from Proverbs 1 helps us to understand the important call to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of our Lord! It is essential that we are maturing in the faith, as that maturity will help us to bear good fruit!

Chad White walks the church through some very important lessons from the book of James. It is essential to understand that we do not work for our salvation. But our salvation generates a response that involves a desire to do good works. Chad walks us through practical actions of our faith.

In this final lesson from the Epistle to the Hebrews, we discuss that we worship God, knowing that He is the fulfillment of Scripture, the Great High Priest, the Author and Perfecter of faith. He is the only one who is worthy of our continued sacrifice!

Brotherly love in the church, hospitality, honor marriage and sexuality, not loving money, and remembering our leaders. These are all aspects of a believer's response to a Holy God! The Christian walk is more than just saying that we believe, it is also about doing what makes us holy.

This is a message of good news. We worship a Good God who has done all of the work for us. A God that we can rejoice in; because He has already brought us to Mt. Zion. He has already given us an unshakable kingdom! Let our walk and our worship reveal that we know this great hope!
