December 24, 2023 • Nathan Elizondo • Matthew 4:12–17, Isaiah 9:1–7
Far too many Christians have grown too comfortable with God, especially the birth of Jesus. This Christmas Eve, we hope that you remain in of the Lord and his majesty.
The Servant Love of Jesus // Luke 2:1-7, Philippians 2:5-11
December 17, 2023 • Richard Cantu • Luke 2:1–7, Philippians 2:5–11
Jesus came into the world in the most humble and expected manner. God himself in human form, came to us in order that we would know his sacrificial love.
The Joy of Anticipation // Luke 8:20, 1:39-56
December 10, 2023 • Nathan Elizondo • Luke 2:8–20, Luke 1:39–56
Christmas is all about anticipation. More than the countdown presents and time with family, the anticipation that filled the heart of Mary and the shepherds was one of everlasting joy. In Christ, we not only look towards the coming joy, but have access to perfect joy through the Holy Spirit.
The Promised Hope // Isaiah 7:14, 53:5
December 3, 2023 • Richard Cantu • Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 53:5
Long before his arrival, Jesus was promised by the Prophets of the Old Testament. The prophecy delivered by Isaiah would not only describe Christ’s arrival, but even describe his birth, life, death and resurrection. The Savior spoken by the prophets was not random or without purpose, but was cause for great hope.
