Jesus, Our Savior King
We see in Isaiah 7 that we are called to a faith in Christ to save, not a faith in man. But as we make our way through this passage, we’ll notice four things play out: a problem for God’s people, a plea for faith, a pious faithlessness, and a promise to faithfully save.

Unexpected Christmas
Of all the places in the world, it was Bethlehem that hosted the birth of the Messiah. Micah says, "But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel..." From this little place came the Christ. God, once again, working in an unexpected way in an unexpected place. The highest of Kings born in the humblest of places. Sunday we look at how an unexpected place brought us an unrivaled king who brings us unending blessings.

A Snake-Crushing Christmas
So many advent sermons are soft and sentimental. This is not one of them. We begin Advent in a passage that at first glance might not strike you as much of a Christmas passage. As we look at Genesis 3:15, though, I hope we see the cosmic war that was being raged as Christ came that holy Christmas night. I also hope we can see how the scriptures had already predicted and promised the winner of that cosmic war between God and Satan. Genesis 3:15 will show us how we can have ourselves a merry snake-crushing Christmas this year and why that is such great news!
