In this week's passage Elijah, in a crisis of faith, is on the run and hiding out in a cave. God comes to him and asks, "What you doing in a cave, Elijah?" With that question the spiritual restoration of Elijah begins, a restoration that many of us need as well.

So much has taken place over the past year, both hard and good. But what stands out among so many things is the lack of peace in our world today - emotional peace, societal peace, spiritual peace. This Christmas Eve message looks at the kind of peace Jesus, the Prince of Peace, brings and how it can be ours through faith in Him.

The incarnation of Christ is staggering to the natural mind. His coming as a babe in a manger is the greatest news, and the greatest event in all of history. If this is so, why tell this news to Shepherds first?

The Christmas story is more than a story; it's a revealing of who God is and what He's about in and through Jesus. This week's message builds on last week's and focuses on the things God reveals in the first Christmas that can be true for us today.

We double back in this week's sermon and look at the Christmas Encounters in Luke. This week's text is actually a pre encounter between Jesus and Mary where Mary magnifies God for the great things He has done and what He.offers to all in the coming of Jesus.

In this passage Jesus encounters two disciples who have left Jerusalem for Emmaus. They left hopeless and despondent because Jesus had been killed and their dreams had been shattered. And yet, along the way Jesus rescues them from their spiritual blindness and reveals Himself in the Scriptures and the breaking of the bread, showing them that it was necessary for Jesus to suffer and then enter His glory.

This message addresses one of the things theologians, academics and historians have wrestled with over the centuries: who was responsible for the death of Jesus? Did religion kill Jesus, or did politics kill Jesus, or did the people kill Jesus?

And why did they kill Jesus? Was it because He was a blasphemer? Or was it because of the threat of insurrection? Or did it come because He was such a disappointment to the masses.

It is Jesus alone that seeks and saves the lost, the least likely, and makes them trophies of his amazing grace. To God be the Glory!

In our text a woman stands upright for the first time in eighteen years. Miraculously healed, in her joy she praises God! But an indignant voice cuts through the joy.”There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.” The Sabbath was never intended as a burden. Its original God given purpose was to remind us of his grace, and to point us to Jesus Christ, the ultimate reality, the ultimate expression of God's grace and rest.
