Born to Redeem -- Galatians 4:4-7
With the celebration of Jesus coming at Christmas, it is helpful to realize the reason Jesus came to this world. It was not just to give us a good example. It was not to merely be a wise moral teacher. It was to purchase the freedom of his people from sin.

Born to Die
Sometimes you have to look backward to move forward. Believe it or not, Christmas originally did not revolve around heightened stress levels, maxed out credit cards, and a big man in a furry suit. This year, we invite you to step back in time. The true story behind Christmas is a historical event filled with people a lot like us. Like us, they often struggled to make ends meet. Like us, they battled tall odds to keep their families intact. And like us, as Christmas arrived on the scene, they had no idea what was coming. Come explore the story of Vintage Christmas. If you listen closely it will change your life.

Behind Enemy Lines
"Incognito, under the cover of darkness, the king of kings stole into town; disguised as an infant..." - Philip Yancey. "It is John's Spirit-appointed task to supplement the work of Matthew and Luke so that the nativity can not be sentimentalized into coziness, nor domesticated into drabness, nor commercialized into worldliness....this is not the nativity story we grew up with, but it is the nativity story all the same. Jesus' birth excited more than wonder, it excites evil...." - Eugene Peterson. "Open war is upon you...whether you would risk it or not" - Aragon (Lord of the Rings)

On one hand, the Church must faithfully witness of the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ and, on the other hand, it must resist all efforts by the world to compromise its message and its moral integrity. If the Church is to witness faithfully, it must proclaim a message of courageous warning touched with sensitivity and compassion.

When I Sin, Part 2
Psalm 51 is birthed out of the horrific and tragic story of David and Bathsheba. There is a warning to us in the deplorable choices of David. But we also find a beacon of hope - the forgiveness and cleansing of our sin may be found.
