We’ve all got them. We don’t bow to them or intentionally worship them, but we have them just the same. Idols. They come in many forms today, often in the form of things that are healthy and good in moderation, that can ruin our lives if they become an obsession – money, relationships, and sex – to name a few. Are we even aware that something has become an idol in our lives and what does God want us to do about it?

We want to create an anticipation of Easter by looking at how Jesus was anticipated in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Isaiah. These words about Jesus were written long before Jesus came to earth, revealing just how perfectly & precisely God planned the Savior’s coming and how Jesus would fulfill His mission. God foretold these things so that Jesus would be recognized and worshiped as the Son of God when He came to earth, and so we can recognize and worship Him today.

Do you set off to go somewhere without any clue how to get there? What if you didn’t know where “there” was or what it was like when you got there? We wouldn’t plan a trip that way. Yet, many today are living their lives in that manner, not really knowing where they are going, how to get to where they want to go, or what it is like on the other side. Watch where you are going is a look at the ultimate destinations of life – heaven and hell – what they look like and what the paths look like to each place.

We go through the Christmas season many years and ‘almost’ have Christmas. We hear the songs, we open the presents, and drink eggnog. We can do a lot of the things associated with Christmas, but not actually experience Christmas. Not this year. This series, we look at four ways to experience Christmas this year.

We’re all looking for the “good life” but we’re fuzzy on what the good life looks like. We get mixed messages. Our culture says the good life is found in grabbing as much as you can here and now. God says the good life is found in living this life for the next one. So which is it? The book of Philippians was given by God that we might choose correctly and find the good life.

These are some crazy days. No way any of us could have anticipated that 2020 would go the way it has. The challenges we face are blatantly revealing of where we stand on issues, and if we are committed to the truth of God and to treat people with the love of God. We can and must do both - boldly stand for what God has deemed important, as well as love those who disagree with us.

Faith. It is what connects us to God, what gets us through difficult times, and what empowers us to live for God. Faith is essential to our lives. Yet often we are left wondering how it grows, if it is growing in us, and what we can do to develop it. In this series, we’ll look at specific ways our faith is tested and how it comes alive.

It happens more often than we’d like to admit. We miss them. We miss the opportunity to tell people about our faith. Why? We just weren’t ready. Instead of dwelling on missed opportunities, God is asking each of us to get ready for the next one. You can be prepared to take this step of faith that will change someone’s life, and yours too, for eternity.

Are there universal rules that should govern our behavior? That depends on who you ask. Some look for government or society to set the laws, while others look to a higher authority. We believe God has given us His laws, not to restrict us, but to free us. In this series, we’ll look at how we are to relate to God’s rules and in doing so, find in them the freedom that God intends for us as we follow them.

How do you view yourself? You may find yourself believing you are what others have said about you. You may be allowing your past to define you. It could be that you find your identity in your successes. None of those options are healthy. If we get this wrong, we sabotage our relationships. If we get it right, it gives us a firm foundation from which to live. God wants you to have a healthy self-image, to understand your self-worth, to live free from self, & to be free to live for things greater than yourself.

For most of us, membership means belonging in order to benefit. When we sign up to be a member of a rewards program, it’s not usually because we love that company, but because we can get discounts and offers on their products.
So, when you and I think about being a member of a church, we need to redirect our thinking to God’s version of membership. When we join the local church, we are joining the family of God.
In this family, God is our Heavenly Father, and we are brothers and sisters. In this family, we are committed to caring for each other. This family has shared values and beliefs. In this family we have a standard, and that standard is love.
We will learn to be the family that God intended and to love one another like Jesus has loved us. If we do, the world around us will take notice!

At Christmas it's easy to focus on everything BUT the spiritual implications of the season. At Christmas, it’s easy to focus on the baby in the manger, and miss the point of why He came. At Christmas, it’s easy to downplay the significance of the coming of Jesus as a footnote in history and a small part of our lives. But in actuality, the coming of Jesus marked the greatest invasion of human history, and the coming of the King. Jesus came as a conquering King that desires to be King of our lives.

We admire sacrifices when we see them. We admire:
-athletes who sacrifice their body to make a big play for your team -soldiers who sacrifice their lives to preserve our freedoms (All gave some. Some gave all.) -first responders who sacrifice their own safety by running towards trouble while others run from it (i.e. 9/11) -givers who sacrifice large percentages of their wealth to give to those in need (Giving the shirts off their backs) -fathers/mothers/grandfathers/grandmothers/foster parents who sacrifice their own careers to provide care for their family -volunteers who sacrifice their time for worthy causes
We admire them and often honor them. But most of us secretly hope in the back of our minds that we won't ever be in a position where we need to sacrifice. We don't ever want to have to feel the pain of sacrifice. Yet even though sacrifice can be painful at times, it always comes with a prize. The price of living for a larger purpose than one's own life.
In the Old Testament, strange sacrifices were commanded by God not because God got something out of smelling the burnt flesh of sheep/bulls/birds/grain. But through the commanded sacrifices, God was teaching Israel several lessons that can only be learned through sacrifice. Lessons such as acknowledging God owns everything, caring for the poor, worshiping with a sincere heart and sin requires a sacrifice of death, ultimately the Son of God on the Cross. Though we don't bring livestock to God to be slaughtered anymore, the lessons of the sacrifices are the same for us today.

What would you would do with one week to live? Some might view it as one last chance to do what they’ve always wanted to do - to eat a favorite meal, to check something off their bucket list, to rack up a bunch of debt, or more time to be with loved ones. It’s an interesting question because it reveals our priorities. With such little time, we would give thoughts and time to the things that matter most. As we explore Jesus’ last week on earth, we also will find the priorities that would likely surface in our last week, but also the purposes that are worth giving all of our lives to.

Christmas is nearly here. We can and should start now to get into the meaning of the season well before the big day. To do so, we need to make room for Christmas. We likely will need to shed a few distractions - financial pressure, family pressure, work stress, or discouragement. We also have to search our hearts for inner turmoil and deal with it, to fully experience the wonder & power in our hearts the way God intended the birth of Jesus to bring.

There is a battle raging. We see the evidence all around us in the broken lives, news stories, and pain in this world. We also see it in amazing comebacks, in restore relationships, shattered addictions, and the life that is found in Christ. This battle climaxed on a cross outside of Jerusalem centuries ago. It looked like hope was lost. It appeared that evil had won. Then the comeback began. The unexpected and unimaginable happened. Jesus rose from the dead. The resurrection of Jesus was God’s crushing blow against evil. It means victory for all who trust in Him. Jesus has won back every inch of the Devil’s conquest. The only territory yet to be God’s is the heart that has yet to yield to Jesus.

The Christmas story is part of a much bigger story, a story that we can actually find ourselves in
Jesus: the teacher, the healer, the Savior - is the most recognizable figure in history, is also the most misunderstood. Often the words of Jesus in red letters have been misconstrued or misquoted. The lifestyle of Jesus, and the bidding to follow in his footsteps have been largely ignored. Together, we can discover the truth and life of Jesus as we unpack the red and black letters.
Jesus himself claimed he would die and come back to life. So did he? Or was the resurrection the fake news of the 1st century?

People argue about politics, religion and a great number of other things. And frankly, that’s not going to change. In fact, it’s hard to change people’s minds on issues, including our own. But what is hard to argue with is an eye witness account. When you see something for yourself, you can’t deny it. When someone you trust tells you something, you believe it. John in the Bible was just such a guy. He spent years watching Jesus first hand. What he has to say about who Jesus is and the implications for our lives UNDENIABLE.
Life as we know it won't last forever. So what happens when this world ceases to exist? And does it matter in the here and now? With all the crazy things happening in our world today, many people are asking, “Is this the end?”

Then, I'll be able to live in peace” More often then not, maybe never comes. Maybe, just maybe, God wants peace for us right now, regardless of what life throws at us. Learn the God way of dealing with and defeating stress and worry in your life: Find real peace despite real problems.
