December

27 December 2009   Pastor Kyliah Villa

Title:    "New Clothes for Christmas”
Text:    Colossians 3:12-17

Summary: Clothes can tell us so much about a person. They can signal status, socio-economic levels, personal tastes, and even professions. We are going to be looking at some new clothes God calls us to put on in light of the incarnation. Colossians 3:12-17 speaks about attitudes and attributes we use to clothe ourselves. Together we’ll take a look at true haute couture; fashion designed by the best mind in the cosmos.

20 December 2009   Pastor Dan Collison

Title:    “Real Jesus: The God-Man”
Series:    Real Jesus (Part VIII)
Text:    John 1:1-18

Summary: The Christmas story is rooted in the incarnation of God. The word incarnation means "the embodiment of God in human flesh." The fact that an irreducible God took on human form as an infant defies comprehension. Yet, in Jesus, we witness the God of the universe reaching out to humanity with an irrefutable love.

Title:    “Real Jesus: The Teacher”
Series:    Real Jesus (Part VII)
Text:    John 3:1-21

Summary: Of all the titles given to Jesus, one of the most frequently used was "teacher". In a dialogue with a famous Jewish teacher, Jesus used the power of metaphor, reason, history, philosophy, and persuasion to elucidate God's plan of salvation for the world.

6 December 2009   Pastor Todd Bratulich

Title:    “Real Jesus: The Christ”
Series:    Real Jesus (Part VI)
Text:    John 8:48-58

Summary: The Jewish people had many expectations of who and what the Messiah, or the “Christ,” would be. So when Jesus arrived on the scene, naturally many were trying to find out whether Jesus was indeed the Christ, or if they were to wait for someone else. But the biggest shock came when Jesus changed the question from, “Who is the Christ?” to “For whom is the Christ?”

29 November 2009   Pastor Dan Collison

Title:    “Real Jesus: The Supernatural”
Series:    Real Jesus (Part V)
Text:    John 11:1-34

Summary: Jesus performed miracles for the purpose of helping people believe in God. The people closest to Jesus were firsthand witnesses to these miracles and yet experienced stages of belief and doubt amidst the demonstration of Jesus’ supernatural power. In one of Jesus’ most dramatic miracles he defined himself as being one with God, described a pathway for eternal life, and demonstrated his power over death.

Title:    “Real Jesus: The Servant”
Series:    Real Jesus (Part IV)
Text:    John 13:1-17

Summary: In a defining moment of Jesus’ life on earth, he taught his disciples how to fully express the love of God to others: through Servanthood. This God-designed calling was embodied and mandated by Jesus as the most important attitude and framework for the Christian faith.

Title:    “Real Jesus: The Advocate”
Series:    Real Jesus (Part III)
Text:    John 14:5-14

Summary: The word advocate can conjure up various images. Maybe we think of a social worker, an attorney, a teacher, or a doctor. We think of convincing, interceding, or speaking up for the voiceless. We will explore John’s depiction of Jesus as an advocate. For whom does Jesus speak? Who is his audience? What is his message? When we follow Jesus do we still need an advocate? Finally we’ll look at how advocacy can become a part of our lives.

Series:    Real Jesus (Part II)
Theme:    Doubt and Belief
Text:    John 20:24-30

Summary: In an age of skepticism the path to belief in Jesus Christ is cluttered with confusion and doubt. Thankfully--Jesus journeys with us through the clutter and offers peace, reasons to believe in him, and a perspective on life that is transformational.
