Why is the virgin birth of Jesus important to the foundations of Christian faith? Pastor Joshua West shows the power of God at work in the birth of Christ, rooted in the prophecies of the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Covenant. The question Jesus asked his disciples in Matthew 16:15, "Who do you say that I am?" remains critically relevant to everyone today. From his virgin birth and throughout the Gospels, Jesus draws a line in the sand and we must respond to him and only him for salvation.

Jesus came to preach the good news, open our hearts, set captives free, and help the brokenhearted. But childhood trauma, as well as negative experiences as adults, can stifle the love God wants us to experience. The enemy lies to us and wants to destroy us. Only by having an intimate, meaningful relationship with Jesus can we find the healing God wants us to have. We can't know everyone in our church or sphere, but having close Christian friends who love us is critical to knowing we are loved and valued by God.

What kind of churches do we see in the last days? Preaching from Isaiah 4, David Wilkerson describes the church of forgiveness only and the church of God's glory. The first kind of church gives a gospel that only wants to make us feel good, but is not prepared for the storms. The second kind of church seeks intimacy with God. This remnant church is focused on Christ and his presence, so they are protected: "For over all the glory there will be a covering" (Isaiah 4:5, NKJV).

What is the mark of a true Christian disciple? Is it someone who reads their Bible daily, prays dutifully and fast religiously? Not necessarily—many are dutiful and religious. A true disciple is one who falls deeply in love with Jesus and has a genuine concern for Christ’s church. Reading from 2 Timothy, Pastor Gary Wilkerson encourages the church that it is possible to be a true disciple. When we focus on Jesus, the true disciple-maker, he will fill us with a faith that is on fire and we will truly live for him!
