The opening words to John's gospel stir with imagery and power. With three words John speaks to the everlastingness of God and significance of the word with God.

The Bible is an intricate interwoven love story of God and his people. Jesus is at the center of God's plan to return his kingdom and people. The interconnectedness of the scripture can only point to a supernatural design by our God, the creator. In this design, God calls us out of the bondage of our own personal chains and into the freedom only found in Jesus Christ.

As the shepherds approach the manger, they see the baby Jesus. This inspires them to share with Mary and Jospeh what the angels shared with them. As we experience our Lord, it should leave us changed, just like the Shepherds.

The shepherds in the fields are told to goto Bethlehem and see the newborn Jesus. They respond with "let us go." These words are a call to action, obedience, and freedom. They receive good news and are driven to action to experience the Joy of the coming of the Messiah.

The First Noel tells the story just after Jesus is born. God first shares with a shepherds that a Messiah has been born in the town of Bethlehem.

Russ Duket shares a unique perspective on the joy of the season. Joy to the World is based on the prophecy of Micah 5:2. A promise that the Messiah would come to this little town of Bethlehem.

The conclusion of the series, surrounds a beautiful poem found in the middle of chapter two of Philippians. Paul shares the attributes of Jesus and reminds us that we are to find out identity in only Jesus. He is our King and we are citizens of the Kingdom of God

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" has become a popular rally cry. But, do we understand the context by which Paul shared this famous verse? This week Pastor Matt explores the context of this verse in seeking its true meaning.

Paul's instruction to the community of believers is to seek unity with a purpose. He wants the church to live a mission focused life and discard all that creates disunity. It is because of Jesus that we are called to seek unity at all costs. God sought unity with us through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit.

Prayer is a gift from God that allows us to communicate with our heavenly Father. Paul encourages the church to pray always and let the products of prayer show. In this message we pray through through the model prayer that Jesus gave to his disciples.
