What I Do
Who are you? Often the answer to that question can be found in any number of different answers. Sometimes those answers are defined by our jobs. Sometimes they are defined by our families. Perhaps who we are is even defined by our past. Yet, so many of those things are more about our reputation and less about our true identity. As we consider what God has to say about who we are it is our response to Jesus that takes us on a journey from reputation to finding our true identity.

Meet Mary, the Mother of Jesus
Time and again, we all encounter true seekers. These are people who have some serious questions about God, Jesus, or Christianity, and they are seeking some factual answers. I believe with all my heart that Christians need not to be timid in inviting these kinds of people to consider some of the evidences that God himself has provided in order to bring enlightenment to them.

Faith in the Darkness
The darkness that surrounded the cross of Jesus was a darkness behind which God hid his face, causing Jesus to cry out with feelings of abandonment. But the actions of two Marys and a man named Joseph remind us that we must press on with faith in the midst of the darkness.

Matthew 1:18-25 (AM)
Adam preaches Matthew 1:18-25, the story of Christ's birth. God supernaturally used normal sinful people to bring His Divine Son into the world, fulfilling Messianic prophecy and providing the way for God's people to be saved from their sins.

The Covenant Meal Inaugurated (Mark 14:1-31)
The nation of Israel failed to see that the greatest problem they had was not external, such as Rome, but was internal -- their own sin. As a result, they failed to see what sort of a Savior and Messiah they needed. In this passage, we see a sharp contrast between Mary's loving and worshipful anointing of Jesus against the hatred and betrayal of Jesus's many enemies. But at the same time, we are reminded that all -- both true and false disciples -- have need of a savior. We see God's provision for us in Jesus's death, and are regularly reminded of it in our celebration of the Lord's supper.
