Have you ever wondered what makes Christmas deeply meaningful for some and just another festive season for others?

The Christmas season is here and with it comes the familiar buzz words of the season: joy, peace, light, and, maybe most of all, hope. But have you ever stopped to think about what it actually means to have hope? This week, in John's Gospel we'll see that if Jesus is the Savior of the world, hope isn’t just a wishful, seasonal thought—it's a guaranteed promise. And that this hope is available—not for a select few—but for all who receive him.

Have you ever considered what it really means to worship someone or something? This week, we explore the idea of worship, and we will discover that it is the steering wheel for our entire lives.

We live in a thirsty world — not just in our bodies but in our souls. Everywhere we look, people seek to quench their “thirst” by finding fulfillment for their lives in a million different ways.

How do you respond when someone cuts in line to move ahead of you? How do you feel when you perceive that someone causes you to decrease in importance or status?

This week, we come to what may be the most famous verse in the Bible: John 3:16. There is no human thought higher than this one sentence. As we study these verses, we will see a love beyond human reason that is worthy of our belief, yet many refuse to look to the only Son of God who was sent to save.

This week, we encounter Jesus’ famous statement, “You must be born again.” Throughout history, people have sought new spirituality through an emotional experience, intellectual shift, religious involvement, striving for moral improvement, or embrace of a particular culture. But Jesus prescribes a far greater transformation. Join us as we learn to appreciate the total transformation of being born from above.
