The Birth of Jesus

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 2:1-20

Luke's account of the birth of Jesus answers the question of "Who is this child?" He is Savior, Christ and the Lord. It also answered the question of "How is this child born?" Although He is Savior, Christ and Lord, He was born under unsanitary conditions, amid scandal and visited by commoners. This humiliation of Jesus teaches us that our situation is desperate, but God loves us with an amazing love.

God's Good News

Ben Foust

Romans 1:1-7

The book of Romans is the Good News of God about the essential issue of mankind. God has done something so that we can come to Him and have a right relationship with Him, in this life and the next. The Gospel is about Jesus, sent from the Father, born into the human race, evidenced by miracles, died on the cross and rose from the dead, and provided the way for all people to be reconciled to God.

The Summing Up of All Things in Christ

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 3:1-18

Paul explains the mystery God kept hidden from the beginning that He had a plan to reconcile Jews and Gentiles into one body. He kept secret that the Suffering Servant and the Conquering King were one and the same person but separated by time. He revealed all this in Jesus. God kept these things secret so Satan would go along with His plan to crucify Jesus at the right time, not realizing it would result in his own defeat.

God's Secret Plan Revealed

Chris Hearty

Ephesians 3:1-12

Paul lays out God's plan for the gospel, explaining that this mystery has now been revealed through the Holy Spirit. God is now putting focus onto the Gentiles as well as the Jews coming to know him through Jesus.

Who is the Messiah?

Pat Reeder

Ephesians 3:1-12

At a time when leadership and institutions seem unstable, we sense the need for a strong leader. The Royal Messiah is a key figure throughout the Bible. Yet, what it means that He is Messiah often remains opaque. This session will get underneath that concept and show its implications for both following Christ and leading others.

Becoming Who We Are, Part 2

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 1:13-18

When we get adopted by God into His family, we obtain an inheritance almost too fantastic to believe. We are sealed with a love that cannot be taken away. We have a security that is eternal. The first step to comprehending God's love is to let Him in. It is not always easy. Understanding comes in layers but we can ask for help. We need to listen and accept it takes time. Comprehension can slip away if we take it for granted.

Every Spiritual Blessing In Christ

Scott Risley

Ephesians 1:1-14

When you have been adopted as His child and and completely forgiven by the loving God of the universe, it can be quite difficult to believe. But once you believe, nothing is ever the same again. All the promised blessings in Christ are yours the moment you believe.

Do Versus Done

James Rochford

Ephesians 1:1-14

When you put your faith in Jesus to pay the price for your sins, you instantly inherit every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Whatever is true of Jesus becomes true of you. When God looks at you, He sees Jesus and all His perfection. Do you deeply know these truths? Are these truths becoming the greatest treasure of your life?

Becoming Who We Are

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 1:1-11

Once we are baptized into Christ, we receive all the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. Although our present condition does not seem to be much different, our condition has radically changed for the better. We can now see ourselves in Christ and no longer focused on performance. We are now secure, motivated and unafraid.
