Various Scriptures | 12/3/2023 | Pastor Matt Jones. It’s Christmas time, which means it’s time to commemorate and celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God who became a human being, starting off as a little baby born in Bethlehem. As this concept can be confusing, Pastor Matt will teach on who Jesus is and His nature in the Christmas Christology series.

Growing Pains and Parousia

December 31, 2023 • Matt Jones • Luke 2

Luke 2 and other Scriptures | Christmas Christology, Part 5 | 12/31/2023 | Pastor Matt Jones. In this conclusion to our Christmas series, we explore the early years of Jesus and what His earthly life means for humanity. What was the purpose of the Word of God becoming incarnate, and how does this relate to us?

The Virgin Mother

December 24, 2023 • Matt Jones

Various Scriptures | Part 4 | 12/24/2023 | Pastor Matt Jones. It's Christmas Eve! Christmas, of course, is about a baby being born. A birth doesn't happen without conception. And in this special, indeed unique, case, the conception happened in a virgin. Why did God make that happen? How do we know it is historically true and not a fairy tale? Why is it important that Jesus was born after a miraculous conception? How does this affect our theology, in particular our Christology, and our daily lives in practice?

One of Two Kinds

December 17, 2023 • Matt Jones

Various Scriptures | 12/17/2023 | Pastor Matt Jones. We can best enjoy Christmas if we understand who Jesus is. Jesus is fully and completely God. Jesus is also fully and completely human. The divine and human natures of Jesus are distinct. The divine and human natures of Jesus Christ are completely united in one person. This is a wonderful doctrine called the hypostatic union.
