If we want to go deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ, then we need to serve as Jesus served. For Jesus tells us that serving is the key to true greatness and happiness. (Mark 10:35-45; John 13:1-17)

If we want to go deeper in our relationship with Christ, we need to pray more than we do. W.H. Griffith Thomas once said, “It is only through a strong prayer life that we find God’s presence real, His power felt, His will clear, and His service easy.” (Luke 11:1-4; Matthew 6:5-13; Matthew 7:9-11)

What is worship and how can we deepen our relationship with God through true spiritual worship? The heartbeat of white-hot worship is not our ministry for God, but rather our ministry to God as we seek to bless the Lord with all that we are. (Hebrews 12:28-29)

How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? By taking the truths we learn about God, meditating on them and turning them into praise and worship to God. We will work through this process using Colossians 1:15-20 as an example. (Colossians 1:15-20)

Learning who you are in Christ is the starting point of going deeper in your relationship with Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4b-11)

Becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ involves going deeper. We cannot afford to live shallow lives as Christians. In order to be healthy, growing and strong, we must become deeply rooted in Christ. (Colossians 1:15-18; 2:6,7)

Overview of the Bible

Have you stopped from the busyness to reflect on and revel in the majesty of Jesus Christ this Christmas? How do you respond when you get a glimpse of His Glory? (Luke 2:1-20; Matthew 2:10.11; 2 Corinthians 9:15; 2 Peter 1:16-20)

The Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ is the means for the Incarnation of the Son of God. What a miracle! Do you believe it? (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-37; John 1:14; 1 Peter 3:18)

If you want to experience lasting joy and peace, focus on and believe in the sacred mystery of Christ instead of the secular magic of Christmas. (Genesis 49:11; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5,6; Matthew 1:!-17; Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1-6)
