The Re-Ordered Life

Joy to the World! The Lord is Come! (Mk 15:1-16:8)
The Jesus of Christmas was born to die. His death would make our forgiveness possible. The path to the Cross included the rejection of God's people, contradictory witnesses, sham trials, corrupt politicians, intense mocking, severe scourging, and an eerie darkness. But the ultimate result was the resurrection of the Savior as our King.

The Disturbed Heart
This is indeed a special week in the Christian calendar, as we celebrate what Christians called - “The Feast of the Nativity of Jesus Christ.†During Advent we have been looking at some of the heart conditions that can cause us to miss His coming. Today in the Word we will consider The Disturbed Heart. Having looked at a few people who missed that first Christmas, we have seen more deeply into our own hearts. We looked at the average heart and its many idols. We looked at the preoccupied heart of Caesar Augustus, and also the unaffected heart of the religious leaders. Join us this morning as we continue to prepare our hearts not only for this Christmas, but also for His second coming.

Incarnate In Me
The Christmas carol, “What Child is This?†asks the question that has been asked for over 2000 years. What made this baby special before he was even born? The events leading up to the birth of Jesus are as special and amazing as His life recorded in the gospels. What can we learn from the incarnation story that strengthens our faith and set the course of Jesus’ incarnation in our own life? Join us for the three weeks leading up to Christmas as we discover, “What Child is This?â€

Christmas Worship Gathering
Christmas, the time to gaze at the wonderful salvation God provides for us through Jesus Christ! Enjoy this service as we turn our mind’s attention and heart’s affection to what the birth of Jesus means. Join with us as we worship, sing and hear from the Scriptures. Christmas must not be isolated from the rest of the story; Christmas must be strongly connected to Good Friday and Easter. To divorce one from the other three is like reading or watching one part of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy with no reference to the others. The meaning is cut short, incomplete and incomprehensible. What we see throughout the New Testament is Jesus “fulfills†and makes complete the rest of God’s story. The Old Testament is full of whispers of the reality to come. Have you ever wondered how those Old Testament “prophecies†spoke of Jesus: his exile in Egypt, his birth from a virgin mom, and his ministry in Galilee? Matthew brings this up in his gospel at least 15 times, and in chapter 4 of his gospel he roots the coming of Jesus and his ministry to historical events: the unlikely defeat of Midian’s army of 120,000 by Gideon’s 300 soldiers (Judges 6 + 7) and the deliverer he will provide for Judah as the Assyrian army approaches (Isaiah 9). Doesn’t sound touchy feelly enough for a Christmas message? Well, hold on, because all of that is really talking about Jesus!
