Psalm 2 shows us that we like the idea of a King, but hate the reality of a King. Jesus is the true King who we've all rebelled against and his decree is one of wrath. However, Jesus is a refuge for all who would make Him their King.

What does it mean to be “Blessed?” Psalm 1 offers two paths that we all can choose, but only one leads to a blessed life.

Jesus desires to dwell in the “upper room” of our lives, that He might be the most important and influential person in our lives!

The conclusion of the Advent series reveals who the "Christ" really is. The genealogy of Christ reveals His humanity while the virgin birth reveals His divinity. The names of the Christ reveal the salvation of God.

Christmas is all about Jesus. Jesus is God in a human come to save us through His death and He is worth giving our lives to.

In the Advent of Jesus, we find hope in the midst of our daily toils, in the midst of our mortality, and we find the hope of glory which is actually Christ living in us right now!

The purpose of Advent asks: Why did Jesus come? The answer is so easy its complicated, so simple its complex and so radical it is mind blowing.

The anticipation of Advent calls us to intentionally prepare. In the life of John the Baptist we see how to maintain a posture of humility, have a passion for Jesus and how to fall deeply in love with Him.

Advent invites us to wait. Through Zechariah and Elizabeth, we see that in the waiting God can change the way we pray, strengthen the way we obey and increase our dependency on His salvation.

Faith is not just a New Testament idea. The God of the Bible did not start out with a bunch of rules and then change to faith midway through. Faith has always been the way people please God. In the end, the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love and love sums up the rules of God. Hebrews 11 shows us that the Old Testament is chalk full of examples of men and women who demonstrated faith in God. They put their hope in a promise, who we now know is Jesus, that together with us they might be perfected. But these Heroes of Faith are not simply bed time stories meant to teach us a moral lesson. Instead, they are a cheering crowd telling us to throw off sin and chase after Jesus with everything we've got. Jesus is indeed the Hero of Heroes who achieves salvation for us, writes faith onto our hearts, and perfects our faith in Him.
