Do you know what your role is in taking Jesus to your city? We go to church and hear that we are supposed to bring the gospel to our city. Reach your neighbor with the Word of God! But what does this mean? How do we achieve this? Our guest will share with us how every believer is a missionary and how we can reach our city while teaching others to do the same. 

The call to share the gospel was not just for the disciples; it's also not just for our pastors and other church leaders. The call to share the gospel is for every Christian! So, how do we go about telling others about the gospel? Learning to use every day events to reach those around you can make a difference that changes your community. It's more than changing one life. 

At some point in your life, you have set a New Year's resolution or a goal to improve your health, make better habits, or any number of things. It's that time of year when we start to set priorities and strive to live up to them. Is this our calling as believers? Do our priorities align with God's provision and plan for our lives? Let's look at what Scripture tells us regarding our plans.

The story of Jesus' birth is one of God coming to us, the narrative of God coming to seek us out. This week, we will hear four messages of how God seeks us out. 

Picture Joseph and Mary's astonishment as the Wise Men unexpectedly appear, presenting gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Can you imagine their thoughts? Traveling far to greet the newborn King, yet they bring myrrh of all things.

Why would God pick such a helpless people? Much less the little nation of Israel? God chose Israel because he uses the humble, weak, and the forgotten to show His glory. 

When we look at the birth of Jesus through a modern lens, we wonder why our King would be born in poverty to an immigrant working family. Jesus had the power to choose to be born the son of an earthly king, but instead, he was born to a poor lower-class family and entered the world to be swaddled in less than desirable cloth and laid in a borrowed feeding trough. Why? 

John 3:16 is one of the most used verses in the Bible, frequently found on shirts, coffee mugs, and signs, and like all overused things, it often loses its meaning. We need to develop a habit of meditation when reading scripture. When we do this, we discover more profound truths in God's word.

When the Pilgrims arrived in the New World, their journey had been marked by hardships, and more challenges were to come as they adapted to life in this unfamiliar territory. Despite enduring difficulties, they paused to express thanks. What inspired their gratitude amid such pervasive hardship?

If we believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation, then why do we live lives that reflect otherwise? Like the man in John Mark 9:23-25 we struggle with our unbelief. In those times, we should pray.
