Advent Week 2: The Grand Miracle

Week 2: The Grand Miracle

Main Passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, Philippians 2:5-11, multiple additional verses.

Nothing like this has ever happened before or will again. In order to save us God would take on human nature in order to save us. Jesus thus was both fully God AND fully man. Both natures are necessary for our salvation. What incredible love must the Lord have for us for Him to send His Son, have Him take on flesh, and then submit to death on a cross. It is a mind boggling, yet incredibly encouraging reality! O Come let us adore Him!

Week 1: A Light in the Darkness.

Main passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, John 1:1-14

We have no idea just what kind of predicament we are in. Humanity as a whole is enslaved by sin, owned by Satan, and destined for death. We can’t beat any one of these enemies. And so Jesus comes to saves us!  If we are to understand the magnitude of this miracle we must see the magnitude of the problem He came to solve. This was the only way to save us and He is the only One who can do it. When Jesus comes to earth He is true light breaking into the darkness of our world to give us hope, life, and peace. Joy to the World indeed!

The Mission: Praying for the Lost

Week 6: Praying for the Lost

11/23/2025

Main Passage: 1 Timothy 2:1-4

As we are on mission in the world it will not be the case that everyone we meet will immediately give their lives to the Lord.  We will face opposition.  But we must not lose heart!  The Lord calls for us to pray for the lost, just as He prayed for us before we were saved.  We must be consistent in praying for individual lost people, our city, culture, nation, and the world.  We se great examples of this in Simeon and Anna in the temple, Daniel in captivity, and Nehemiah in captivity.

The Mission: Showing the Gospel

Week 5: Showing the Gospel

11/16/2025

Hayes and Bethany Parnell leading with Kelly and Steven

Main Passage: John 13:34-35

We cannot simply speak the gospel.  If we have been transformed by Christ then this should change the way we live.  Jesus said that people would know we are his disciples by how we love one another.  Thus we should live out the gospel in how we love.  This starts with our Christian community in our local church.  From there it extends to all that we encounter.  But we must show the love of God in our lives so that people will be able to hear the gospel we speak.

The Mission: Speaking the Gospel

Week 4: Speaking the Gospel

11/9/2025

Spotlight: Honoring Randy Overstreet

Main Passage: 1 Peter 3:14-17

Jesus has given us the gospel and it is our job to tell that good news to others.  We cannot simply live this out, it must be spoken!  But how do we do that?  We see many examples in Scripture of how to share the gospel and all are valid. But it must be spoken by all of us, not just those who are gifted evangelistically. Are we speaking the gospel to our neighbors?

Week 2: The Gospel

10/26/2025

Main passage: Mark 1:14-15

Jesus always challenged people to repent and believe in the gospel.  How do we teach this to others.  Through the framework of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration we can clearly tell people the plan and will of God for them. These are also bedrock realities that shape our understanding of life.  We must understand these realities and then be willing to share it.

Seek Him First: Seek First His Kingdom

Seek First His Kingdom

Main Passage: Matthew 6:33, Hebrews 11

We can’t seek Christ and not seek His Kingdom. But what does that mean? Our relationship with Jesus is not strictly internal. We are seeking to know Christ but also to live in Him amongst real people. We must have an idea of what His Kingdom is if we are to seek His Kingdom.

Seek Him First: Seek Me With All of Your Heart (Part 2)

Seek Me With All of Your Heart Part 2

Main Passage: James 4:1-9

Another reason we do not seek the Lord is that we seek the world as well. We fail to experience more of the Lord because we are seeking after the world as well. James calls this being “double-minded.” This week we’ll explore topics from the book of James that hinder our ability to seek the Lord with our whole heart.

Main Passage: Jeremiah 29:13, Mark 12:30

The Lord commands us to love Him with all of ourselves. How do we do that? How do we continue to grow in our love for the Lord and continue to seek Him, even when we’ve been following for years? How do we continue to discover love to love about the Lord as we get older?

Seek Him First: The Promise of Spiritual Success

Seek Him First: The Promise of Spiritual Success

Main Passage: Luke 11:9-13/Matthew 7:7-11

God wants to be found! And thus He makes Himself findable. So why does it seem hard to find Him sometimes? Shouldn’t this be easier? This week we will explore why finding the Lord is not always immediate. But this promise must be firmly believed if we are to keep seeking.
