"Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked..., he sent and killed all male children in Bethlehem." The Christmas story is a story of hope within the pain of a dark and broken world.

"And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him." At the core of the Christmas message is this simple truth - Jesus is the only one worthy to be worshiped.

"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel. (which means God with us)" And like that... God, the author, wrote himself into the first Christmas story, and He is with us now and forever.
Speaker: Anthony Hernandez

"The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." God's promised one is here. His family tree reflects both the beauty of a promise-keeping God and the brokenness that all families share.
Matthew 1:1-17
Speaker: Josh Watt

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps." We do not know the day or the hour of Jesus' return. He gives us a warning to be awake, and be ready.
Matthew 25:1-13
Speaker: Blake Williams

"Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you." Jesus leaves us with the great gift, the Helper.

John 16:4-15
Speaker: John Crawford

"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." Jesus doesn't use many words to describe how the world will view His followers. He boils it down to one: hate.
John 15:18-16:3
Speaker: Josh Watt

"Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." These words of Jesus may be the most difficult words for a Christian to fully believe.
John 15:1-17
Speaker: Josh Watt

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper..." Jesus continues his final message to His disciples. He knows they can't do it alone, so He promises them that He will send help, the Holy Spirit.
John 14:15-31
Speaker: Josh Watt

"Don't be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." Jesus is close to leaving. His disciples are feeling the weight of life without him. What does Jesus think they need to hear? Believe.
John 14:1-14
