As we study the angel Gabriel’s announcement that Mary has been chosen to give birth to Jesus, we will learn how God favors his people in a way that is similar to how he favored Mary. We will also give an overview of Gabriel's explanation of...

Be filled with awe and wonder all over again at the link between the prophecies of the OT and the fulfillment of them in the NT – beginning with the birth of John the Baptist. The circumstances surrounding his birth are mysterious, inspiring and...

Christmas. Again. It can feel a lot like just going through the motions instead of feeling the emotions that you’d expect in this season. Awe. Wonder. Even joy often escapes us. As we start our series on Advent, we get to encounter a group of people...

The Bible begins in a garden (Genesis 1-2) and ends in a garden city (Revelation 21-22). The ending of the story isn’t one of getting things back to the way they were but even better than they were. We will see God face to face and joyfully find...

While the cultural and biblical understandings of redemption are similar, they have very different emphases. Biblically, to redeem means to release or set free, with the implied analogy to the process of freeing a slave – in particular, buying back a...

It was Bobette Buster who said, "Narrative is our culture’s currency; he who tells the best story wins”, and she’s absolutely right. As we embark on a four-week series on The Greatest Story we begin with the first of four major movements in the...
