John 8God's grace is....amazing

James 1:27 and Ephesians 1:2-6There is no better picture of the Gospel than in earthly adoption. At Ridge Church we have 7 families that have experienced adoption, have adopted or do foster care. This week we tell those stories. The good news is, if God is your father, you've been adopted.

James 3: 2-12Our words have the power to be life giving, or life sucking. Do our words point people towards Jesus, or do they cloak Jesus from people? If our hearts are surrendered before God, our tongues will be controlled before people.

On Thursday January 23rd, our friend, elder, brother, son, husband and father John Monday, went on to claim his place with Jesus. That Sunday, we stepped out of our regular series, and preached his last earthly sermon.

James 2: 14-26James shows us the difference between an authentic faith and a false faith. We must answer the question as believers, "has our relationship with God changed the way we live?"

James 1: 19-25All scripture gives us something to apply. If we don't apply what we know, we'll never grow. We must hear, do and be.

James 1: 12-18The book of James gives us practical advice on how we can navigate temptation in light of the Gospel

John 1:14Jesus is the light on the world, not just on Christmas, but for every season. He is God, filtered through flesh, so that we may see him and never be the same.

Matthew 11:25-30In the song O Holy Night, it says "A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices". Anyone identify with that word WEARY this season? Most of us can. But there is a place of REST.

Luke 2:1-11 and Ephesians 2:1-5Jesus not only entered into the mess of humanity, but also into our mess. But is there room for Jesus in our mess?
