Good news of great joy
When we’re given good news like a new job, an answer to prayer, the birth of a child, it gives us a reason to share with others. Out of our initial excitement we know we should tell someone. Yet for some reason we may delay or not even share the good news at all. We sometimes keep all this to ourselves including what the Lord is doing in our lives. It could be out of fear, thinking someone else will do it, or perhaps not sure how the news will be received. There are several themes to explore around the Christmas story based upon Luke’s Gospel. Our key verse for this series is from Luke 2:10 which states, “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
The Period of Judges
Our fall series delves into The Period of Judges (of Israel). While many might be familiar with names like Deborah, Gideon, Samson and Samuel, this unique time in Israel’s history is more than just a collection of their pre-king leaders, warriors and developing as a nation. More importantly, it’s about the judgment, forgiveness and restoration that God offers, even to those who forget or reject
Him. May our hearts be both encouraged and challenged as we immerse ourselves in this time where “everyone did as they saw fit” (Judges 17:6).
Cultivating Meaningful Connections
Relationships that the Lord places in our lives are meant to help us grow and mature. There are various points of connection that we have with others. These connections are intended for the Lord to do His transforming work in our lives. The blueprint of a follower of Jesus includes the Lord being the cornerstone but those around us are to be the building blocks. Even when there is brokenness relationally, we’re to be committed to restoring these relationships. These meaningful connections are something to cultivate and celebrate!
Joel: When God relents
The book of Psalms is a collection of inspired songs used in worship of God. Many of these songs foretell the coming on the Messiah. Others even predict events that were fulfilled in the life of Christ. One out of every six psalms include at least one prophecy pointing to Jesus. This advent season we’re going to look to the Psalms as they tell about the coming of Jesus. The book of Psalms declares that Jesus will come from the line of David. That the Messiah will be called King of the Jews. That the Messiah will be called by God while still in the womb. That the Messiah will come for all people.
