From the beginning it was God’s intention to display His glory through a multi-ethnic and diverse human race. Sin brought about separation and hostility between people, with racism being a fruit of sin. Jesus Christ came to deal with sin on the cross, making a way for people to be unified with God and thus unified with one another in Christ. Jesus died so that every tribe, nation, language, and people could be reconciled to God and reconciled with one another, and now as his followers it is our turn to play our part in fulfilling His ministry of reconciliation.

HIS HEART BEATS! The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the center point of history and central theme of Christianity. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we remember that through his sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead, we have also been raised to new life. In Christ we are a new creation and have a new identity, one that comes not from what we’ve done or what others have said, but from what God and done for us and said about us.

Many people (Christians and non-Christians alike) are familiar with the idea that Jesus saves. You may have heard someone talk about “getting saved” or “being saved”. The language of salvation is all through the Scriptures, but has been easily misunderstood or partially understood by people throughout the centuries. In this message we look through the teaching of Scripture to understand the gospel message of our salvation and how it impacts every moment of our lives past, present, and future.

Jesus humbled himself in becoming a man, but further humbled himself by becoming obedient to God’s will even to the point of death on the cross. It’s only through the lens of Jesus’ humbled obedience to God that taking up our cross daily in humble obedience begins to make any sense. In this message we explore the humble obedience of Jesus and what it means to receive Him as Savior and follow Him as Lord.

God doesn’t simply require innocence to enter his kingdom, he requires righteousness. But how could God possibly cancel our unrighteousness and establish our perfect righteousness in His sight while perfectly upholding His holy justice and righteousness? Upon the cross of Jesus our sin was paid for establishing our innocence before God, and at the same time Christ’s perfect righteousness was accomplished and credited to us as a gift. Therefore, God is both just and the justifier of those with faith in Jesus.

Learn from Jesus how God fully displayed his unrivaled glory (his character, nature, and ways) at the cross and invites us to behold him with unveiled face.

Advent Conspiracy is about having an intentional plan and purpose to celebrate Christ during Christmas! It is about an intentional re-orienting of our hearts to Christ, letting go of traditions that actually take our focus away from Jesus during Christmas and fully embracing the wondrous moment when Jesus entered our world to make things right. When we allow Christmas to revolve around accumulating more money or possessions, barriers are raised between our hearts and God’s command to love Him and others. So in this message we learn from Jesus how to guard against covetousness, comparison, and consumerism regarding money and possessions so that we might experience the true life of peace, hope, and joy.

Jesus claimed to be “the way, and the truth, and the life” and that “no one could come to the Father except through him”. That statement is a Mic Drop in a world that says there are many ways to “god”, truth is relative, and life consists in worldly things. In this message we discover in a fresh way that Jesus is the sources and sustainer of life, and are guided in practical ways we can “take hold” of life in Him.

In Christ Jesus it is possible to live a non-anxious life! However, living anxious for nothing is not just about us experiencing greater peace and joy in life, but Jesus calls us to not be anxious so that we can be a conduit of his life to others around us. Speaking to others about Jesus has the potential to stir up anxiety in us, yet Jesus, knowing this, teaches us that we don’t need to be anxious about what we will say, for the Spirit of God promises to speak through us.

In Christ Jesus it is possible to live a non-anxious life! In this message we learn from the Scriptures how God’s presence and his sovereignty can anchor us through difficult seasons of life.
