I have heard Isaiah 9:6 too many times to recount. This message is an attempt to see this from a new perspective, what does it mean to hear “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given?”

A Light in the Darkness
Our theme for 2016 is to know Jesus more through His word; part of that includes seeing that the Bible is completely a book about Jesus. As we prepare for Christmas we turn to Isaiah 9 to see Jesus as the promise foretold- A light in the darkness. (Photos used in the original message are included)
The Bread of Life
Jesus was able to multiply 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to feed 5,000, but it points to a question we must ask ourselves, Is it at all possible that we want God for something He provides rather than the something that He is? This miracle from Christ teaches us that something is missing, and we will always be hungry until that something is found.
Dear Pergamum
Be holy as I am holy- that’s what God tells His people. But what if the church becomes infected by the culture around them? That’s what we have the letter to Pergamum for… here is a church that was in a culture much like ours and they responded like we sometimes do- by getting comfortable in a world that isn’t our home. We look at Revelation 2:12-17 to hear what Christ has to say to them and to us as well.
Dear Ephesus
This letter was written to a church on the other side of the world, that existed almost 2,000 years ago. But while we might look for how this has nothing to do with us, we find that it still speaks today. In fact, the message to the church in Ephesus- continue in faith, hope, and love- is a message we still need to hear.
The Sudden Return
Matthew 24 is a favorite go-to text for a discussion on the end times. Unfortunately, a number of people have mangled what Jesus has said on the subject. We look into this text to listen and learn what Jesus said about how no one knows when He will return, and when He does, it will be sudden… so be ready!
What Happens When We Die?
One of the more dreaded questions a child may ask is “What happens when we die?” While many people have made attempts at answering that question, there is really only one person with the qualifications and authority to speak with certainty on the subject. Matthew 22:23-33 gives us Jesus’ answer to this question.
Marriage
Ephesians 5:21-33 teaches us a lot about God’s design for marriage. While it breaks from the series in that this isn’t directly from Jesus’ words, it does teach us that the model for marriage is taken from Christ and His church.
Divorce
I know that divorce is a painful and intricate subject, and I believe that is why Jesus, our maker and sustainer, addresses it in Matthew 19:1-12. My hope is that this message echoes Jesus’ grace and truth.
The Cross of Christ
Chaotic. That’s what John 12 feels like to me. The crowd is trying to make Jesus into something that He already is, but through means that are contrary to Him… and into the middle of all of this the shadow of the cross extends. John 12 gives us a glimpse into what Jesus teaches about His cross.
