A man in whom there is no deceit? An honest man– a good one? What might we learn from a new disciple Jesus miraculously saw under a fig tree. Meet Nathanael and what it means to have an heart open to God. Such people see heaven open.

What is the harshest thing Jesus ever said? How about, “you can’t be my disciple”? Jesus said we need to seriously weigh what it means to follow him, where this path will lead. Or, we need to know who we are following already.

Nothing good happens when we lose our breath. Did you know it can happen spiritually? When we fail to repsect the rhythms of life and minstry God has built into His created order we can end up like the famous prophet Elijah, afraid and on the run. Everything can suffer. Listen in and discover what we can lose but also how to catch our breath again.

A cup overflowing with poison and doom. A people hell-bent on their own destruction. A loving God who warns of consequences ahead. A Savior who drinks the cup dry. Lets look at what the Bible means when it speaks of sin and what it produces and what Christ came to do.

“It is hardly too much to say that the mind of God has in no word uttered itself and all that is in His heart more distinctly that in this.”

An old man finds an old book long lost to time and memory. Dusting it off, reading it, bringing to the king catapults a people into a world of upheaval and change. Could this same, old book have the same effect on us? Do we dare dust it off?

For many, Christmas and Baby Jesus is a neat idea that dropped out of the sky. Boom! It's a cute story full of angels and shepherds and pretty songs. It is actually a great story and the arrival of Christ is only the next chapter in an unfolding work of God's promises to heal and restore creation from sin and death. We know that everything can be dark but do we understand how important that is to the true message of the Advent Season? Join us for the Christmas Day part of our Advent series.
