We promise we're not mixing up Christmas and Easter! But the Jesus came to rise, which means the two holidays are inextricably linked. We close 2017 by exploring this important connection.

At Christmas, we tend to think about the beginnings of life, the newborn Christ child laying in a manager. But we dare not forget that Jesus was born with a mission, and a central part of that mission was to die.

Jesus came to fulfill the Law. He told us during his ministry, "I have not come to abolish [the Law and the Prophets] but to fulfill them." But what did he mean, and why does it matter?

As we continue to explore the reasons why Jesus came at his first advent, we look at the fact that Jesus, though God and King, came to serve.

Advent is a time to reflect on the coming of Jesus Christ in history as we await his return at the end of history. This year we explore several reasons why Jesus came. In the first message, we look at the fact that Jesus came to call sinners.
