John, in describing who Jesus is, calls our attention to creation. In the beginning the word,

Jesus, was creating. In the same way the word spoke light into darkness, Jesus's presence in this world shines light into darkness.

John, an apostle and eye witness, writes a detailed account of Jesus' life, ministry, crucifixion and resurrection. Unique from the other gospel accounts, John shine a spotlight on Jesus' divinity and him as the means of salvation.

Jesus describes himself as the foundation upon which we we ought to build our live. In good and bad times we are invited to keep returning to Jesus.

After the high of proving God is the one true god, Elijah receives word that his life is being threatened again. Desperate and not knowing what to do, he flees to Mt Horab where he gets to meet with God as His presence passes by him.

After 3 years of hiding, Elijah confronts Ahab and the Prophets of Baal at Mt. Carmel. God reveals himself as the true God by pouring down fire.

A Widow's daily act of faith and obedience enables Elijah to weather death threats and a drought.

In the fourth week of advent we explore love. God, who is love, and our call to reciprocate His love in this world.

The coming of Jesus the Savior is good news and cause for great joy for all people. What does this joy look like?

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, invites us to know and reciprocate his Peace.

Today, on the first day of Advent, we explore hope in the most unlikely place, the Genealogy found in Matthew 1.
