The Well

You raised them, prayed for them, and tried to get it right. So when your grown child walks away from your values—or your faith—why does it feel like your failure? Author Jim Burns tackles parent guilt, the endless “if onlys,” and the urge to fix what you can't control. Join Dave and Ann Wilson on FamilyLife Today for a conversation about loving adult kids when their choices break your heart.

In this message, Pastor Philip Miller points past our fears to the God who redeems. Discover why a hope built on what God has already done can steady a grieving heart.

This is part three of the sermon, "Glimmers of Hope."

If you were to receive a letter from a world leader, you would likely take notice. Our study today reads a letter from Jesus to the church in Ephesus, and to us.

Revelation 2:1-7

The birth of Jesus looked ordinary on earth, but heaven announced it with a choir. A multitude of angels filled the sky over Bethlehem with praise to God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explores the angels and the song they sang that night. Like their song, our lives were made for one great purpose: the glory of God.

What was Jesus doing before Bethlehem? In the Old Testament, the Angel of the Lord appeared to Abraham, Moses, and Hagar. In this message, Pastor Lutzer discusses five ministries of the Angel of the Lord and how they apply to us. The Christ of Christmas was at work long before the manger.

Salvation comes through faith in Jesus, and him alone; law-keeping will not save. Having been saved by faith in Christ, we continue to live the Christian life by faith in Christ—with whom we were crucified, and who lives in us by his Spirit.

In Old Testament times, only the High Priest had direct access to God’s Presence! And even then, there were purification rituals required to ensure that the priest was clean enough to enter into the Holy of Holies. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there is great news for all of those covered by the blood of Jesus! Those restrictions that applied to the Jewish High Priest no longer apply to you! Because you are adopted into God’s family, you have unrestricted access to the presence of the Father.
