It's Advent 4! This week we preview our reading from Isaiah 7 and it's promise of Immanuel. After much confusion about what kind of sign Carrie would request of God, we also talk about Joseph's role in the first Christmas. 

This week we explore God providing water from a rock, the prophet Isaiah's beautiful pictures of flowers in a desert, and Jesus' great response to a shocking question from John the Baptist! We are grateful that Jesus is always the Messiah we need instead of the Messiah we think we want!

This week we reflect on this past Wednesday's Advent worship. We also talk about the grace of God in providing food for Israel in the wilderness. Our two readings for Sunday present to us a Jesus who takes sin/judgment seriously but also came to ensure a "not guilty" verdict for us. 

We're in Advent! In this episode we talk about the majesty of God combined with the humility of Christmas, which equals the wonder of Advent! We also preview the Sunday School lesson this week, which focuses on the Passover.

This week we celebrate Christ the King! We explore how Jesus' kingdom often looks backwards from the typical way we define success. We will also preview the Ten Plagues in Egypt and see some amazing displays of God's power.

This week we're talking about Last Judgment. How do we process the end of the world? We also look at way God preserves Baby Moses in a basket on the Nile River.

This week we preview a lesson on Joseph being reunited with his brothers who had sold him into slavery decades earlier. We also look at Saints Triumphant worship, which we think is GREAT!

This week we celebrate Carrie's birthday, see how God was with Joseph even in prison, and preview Reformation worship!

This week we look at a somewhat strange Sunday School lesson about Jacob and his growing family. Then we preview worship this weekend, which is all about total dependence on God.
