The Journey “LOVE” – Week 4 – Luke 23:33-49
Series: Advent 2015
FOCUS Advent - Week 1 - Go - Nov 29 2015We must ask the question, “was this one called 'Jesus' really the Son of God?”
The answer to that question cannot be taken casually. It demands a personal response. For if He is the Son of God, then He is the Messiah, the Savior, and the LORD. And If He is Savior, then we must personally receive Him by faith and fall at His feet in worship Him as the LORD of our life. If He is not, then we must seek another, for our eternal destiny hangs on our search and our decision. ~ Rev D. Seitz
In this week's teaching, we will be listening to the testimony of Kristen Powers, her personal Journey in finding faith in Jesus. We will also be looking throughout scripture to see what people have said, and why they said it about Jesus. Lastly we will be looking at whom we should be asking when it comes to discovering the True identity of Jesus. Our desire is that this teaching will encourage your heart, and cause you to take a deeper look at this one named Jesus. If you have not answered the question, we hope that you will in this season of your life.

    Have you ever felt like a social outcast? Have you ever felt overlooked because the work that you did in school or in your vocation was not all that glamorous? Shepherds in the time of Christ Jesus would have been able to relate. in Fact, had there been the show "Dirtiest Jobs" at the time, they may have done a special just on the role and duty of a shepherd! Shepherds were considered to be ceremonially unclean due to working with the animals that they cared for. They were cut off from the presence of God in regards to their limited access to the Temple. Yet when Jesus was born, something marvelous happened! Rather than a parade welcoming in the birth of Jesus, God sent His Angels to tell the shepherds watching over their folks of the Great News! This week in the teaching series The Journey, we learn of a group of shepherds who were given the incredible privilege and honor of meeting the Christ Child moments after He was born. Our desire and prayer is that you will be encouraged by this teaching. There is Hope for all, and He is Jesus!

    The Journey “YES” – Week 2 – Luke 1:26-38
    Series: Advent 2015
    FOCUS Advent - Week 1 - Go - Nov 29 2015 Have you ever considered what it must have been like for Mary to receive the message from the Angel Gabriel that she would be the earthly mother of The Messiah? Betrothed to a man named Joseph, yet they had not confirmed the marriage and were not living together... this would be an impossibility! How could it be?
    Consider the thoughts that must have gone through the mind of that young girl when she was told she was "highly favored" by the Angel of the Lord, and that He would be with her? It has been said through the ages that "Mary was blessed" by the Lord, and we would agree... yet when we are blessed by God, we are called to be a blessing to others. "Blessed to be a blessing." As you study the life and birth of Jesus, don't overlook the earthly mother Mary and the sacrifices she made and the sorrows that she faced in order to follow the will of God for her. She said "Yes" to the Lord even in the midst of great struggle and hardship, possibly even death. What might the Lord be asking you to do for Him? Have you said "Yes?" Follow along with the study notes, and listen to the teaching, we trust that you will be encouraged.

    The Journey “Go” – Week 1 – Matthew 2:1-12
    Series: Advent 2015

    FOCUS Advent - Week 1 - Go - Nov 29 2015What's the furthest you have ever traveled? Was it by plane? car? train? horseback? foot? In Matthew 2:1-12 we hear of some interesting individuals called the Magi who come and visit Jesus Christ as a child. Although little is known about the exact details of these visitors from the East, we do know that Matthew was inspired by the Holy Spirit for record their coming, they way they postured themselves when they finally arrived at the home of Mary, Joseph, and young Jesus, and that they brought some extravagant gifts to give this "king of the Jews." As you consider your own journey while listening, consider the expectancy and attitude of the Magi coming to visit Jesus. Consider also the gifts that were given, and their meaning of who He was, and what He would do. We trust that you will be inspired and encouraged.
