December 17, 2023 • Kenny Baskins • Luke 1:39–56
Key Thought: The Magnificat (Mary’s Song) is the most revolutionary document! 1. Mary announced three distinct revolutions, which Jesus would instigate and activate: a) First is spiritual in nature; b) Second is social in nature; c) Third is economic in nature! 2. To celebrate Christmas, as Mary celebrated Christmas, is to celebrate a Revolution! 3. Come, Lord Jesus, and let Your Revolution begin in us!

March 17, 2024 • Kenny Baskins • Hebrews 5:7–9
Key Thought: We all have or will suffer during our lives on this earth! Even Jesus the perfect Son of God suffered. Our own suffering should move us closer to God. In good and bad times, we must put our trust in God! 1. Why do bad things happen to good people? 2. Suffering makes us more compassionate toward others who are also facing obstacles! 3. Suffering reminds us of our dependence on God! 4. Is suffering necessary? Yes, I think so! Even God suffered on our behalf! 5. May we truly be the people God wants us to be in every way!
