O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Much of John 7 is a difficult conversation with Jesus extended family, disciples, and religious leaders. They wanted Jesus to "Show himself to the world," but was the world prepared to see the incarnation (God in the flesh)? This section of scripture asks us to struggle along!

Philosophy
The Ridge Church lives to glorify God – loving Jesus, loving people and seeing lives transformed to live for Jesus. We have been called to live this out globally and locally (the mission) and we have essential beliefs as we move down the highway of life, that we hold dear to, so we do not get off focus and fall away. To help us stay focused and on mission we must have a system of values and principles by which we live and function by as a church, a philosophy - in ministry it is important to have the right mindset and attitude toward how things should be done.

A Generous Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Love
Paul said in 1 Cor 13:13: "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." When preached, this message was met with an overwhelming amount of appreciation from the hearers. It’s a real 'chicken soup for the soul' kind of sermon. Be blessed as you hear it for yourself.

Luke 1:26-38 - God Breaks In
This passage Marry receives the message that she will give birth to the Creator of the world - Jesus. One can ask 2 basic questions in this passage: 1) How did God break into this world because he exists seperate from this world, and 2) Who is this God who breaks into this world? The reader realizes from the start that God inpregnates marry by the Holy Spirit to provide a sinless human nature for Christ as well as the right linage to the throne of David. The God who breaks in is Christ Jesus and is the savior of all mankind. The amazing thing about this miracle is that God breaks in to save sinners who are in rebellion from Him. This even call the incarnation is truely an intersection of grace and mercy in God's plan of remption.

Why, God, did you send your Son to earth?
What does Christmas mean for you? Presents? Time for the family? The Coca Cola Advert? Well for Christians it reminds us of Jesus coming to earth, God becoming a man. Why is this so special? In this talk Matt tells us from John 3:1-20 how all human beings are sinful, they go away from God's plan for their lives. However, Jesus was lifted up on a cross so that all who look to him shall not die but have eternal life.

The Parable of the Tent: Prologue to John's Gospel
(Recorded outdoors at a church camp service). This brief message on the Prologue to John’s gospel explains that God pitched His tent with us (John 1:14) in the person of Jesus Christ. He showed us the light; he showed us His glory. Application: Have you camped with Him? Do you know Him? Do you know Him well? As a believer in Jesus Christ, you too are a light shining in the darkness (Mt 5:14-16).Are you reflecting His light to others?

Who Do You Say I Am? (Mark 8:27 - 9:1)
Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ -- and Jesus's response -- tell us so much about Jesus and his role. We see that He is the Son of Man and the Lord of all, but also the suffering servant. We see the miracle of the incarnation -- God become flesh. We see his work as our redeemer, humbling himself in suffering, sacrifice and death so that he might bring about our life and glorification. The only appropriate response, then, is for us to worship and obey him -- not so that we might earn his favor, for he has done perfectly for us what we could never accomplish. Rather, we submit ourselves to him in faith, joy and gratitude for who he is and what he has done for us. We are thus called to follow him by denying ourselves and dying to sin.

John 1:1-18 - This is Jesus: True God and True Man (The Prologue - Part 2)
I want to spend our time this morning meditating on the first five words of verse 14. In this passage, John introduces us to what systematic theologians call “the doctrine of the incarnation.” As Wayne Grudem summarizes it, “The incarnation was the act of God the Son whereby he took to himself a human nature.” [1] We sometimes refer to is as “God becoming a man.” What we see in this verse is that the Eternal Second Person of the Trinity (the Word) gained a full and genuine humanity. We therefore affirm that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man, in one person, simultaneously.

His Name Shall Be Called Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
We consider the miracle and mystery of God become flesh, the birth of the very Son of God in an insignificant town through a series of amazing miracles. Jesus is the son of David whose rule will be forever. All things are under his rule and authority -- we must live under his rule and authority here and now.
