Zacharias' Encounter
Many times we come to God with a prayer request expecting him to respond to just that one slice of life. But instead, God answers with a much better and greater idea. Look at the example of Zacharia—he asked for a child, a son, but instead was given John the Baptist who was to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. The greater task that awaits every believer is to participate in God’s work of salvation for mankind. This work is still ongoing and he wants you to play your part in it.

God Has Set the Calendar in Motion -Can Anyone Stop It?
God Has Set the Calendar in Motion -Can Anyone Stop It? Daniel 9:20-27 & Chapter 10 Review: Overview of chapters 1-8 By the end of God’s world calendar six things have taken place. (9:24) 1. “to finish transgression” 4. “to bring everlasting righteousness’ 2. “to put an end to sin” 5. “to seal up vision and prophecy” 3. “to atone for wickedness” 6. “to anoint the most holy” God’s time clock is set in motion by this event. (9:25) * The issuing of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem starts the clock * It will take 7 “sevens” = 49 years to rebuild Jerusalem * In another 62 “sevens” = 434 years the Messiah was to be crucified * Jerusalem and the temple will be (were) destroyed in 70 A.D by Roman armies under Titus (9:26) * The final 1 “seven” (7 years) described (9:27) How does the unseen realm affect world events? (Chapter 10) * Who is Michael? – His name means “who is like God?” * Angels seem to have three distinct ministries o Michael is the archangel leading the warrior angels o Gabriel is the archangel in charge of the messenger angels o Lucifer seems to have been in charge of the worship angels o Satan is nothing more or less than the fallen archangel named Lucifer o Satan has his “princes” ruling in the heavenly realms assigned to earthly empires and humans who govern them including the structures of life such as family, schools, arts, media, etc. o The importance of the angelic fight with the prince of Persia and Greece. (Verse 20) God can only entrust this kind of encounter and information to someone like Daniel.

Through the Eyes of Mary
In our culture it has become glaringly obvious that Christmas is more about the "stuff" and less about the Son. How is it that so many people lose focus on what this holiday is all about? Maybe it's because in the hustle and the bustle of the season no one slows down enough to remember the story. Join us in December as we look at the greatest story ever told, through the eyes of the participants.

Song of Blessing
The Bible tells us that the first Christmas brought good news of great joy. Those who doubted regained faith. Those who felt small received blessing. Those who were overlooked found peace. Those who waiting for something big to come along, celebrated. We believe Christmas still brings good news of great joy. Come, celebrate with us.
