God provides remarkable glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament. In Genesis 6-8, can an object be a foreshadowing of Jesus? What does the Ark of Noah show us about both God's judgement and His saving grace?

Throughout the Old Testament, God uses foreshadowings (a literary device that hints at what is to come) to point us to Jesus, the fulfillment of the Hebrew Scriptures. God provides remarkable glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament. In Genesis 22, why did God first tell Abraham to sacrifice his only son, and then provide a substitute sacrifice instead?

All of us need the Light of God’s Word and the Light of Christ! God’s word leads us to the One who is The Light of the World. This week's teaching is based on Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.“

In Luke 1-2, we see the promised Messiah coming to Israel to reveal Himself, and God's prophets declaring and acknowledging Him for who He really is! (Luke 2:22-40)

In the first chapter of Luke we see that when God moves, it is an awesome thing to behold! God has never stopped moving, but acts constantly throughout the ages and in our day, revealing Himself and calling all people to Him.

The Christmas Story, the birth of Jesus, is not simply a nice “religious” story, nor is it a “tradition” that has been passed on from generation to generation. It is an account of actual events that took place in human history. Events that have changed the world and have the power to change each of our lives forever!

Let’s take a deeper look at the Christmas story. Jesus’ Story - Baby in a manger... Mary and Joseph... angles and shepherds. Most people are familiar with the visual scenes of the Nativity story, but what do the words "A Savior has been born to you" mean to us? To you? (Luke 2:1-20)

Let’s take a deeper look at the Christmas story. To everyone who has known sorrow and heartbreak, God offers joy and final victory! (Luke 1:5-25)

Let’s take a deeper look at the Christmas story. When told she would bear the Son of God, the Savior of the World, Mary could have reacted with fear and doubt. Instead, she responded with faith and humility. (Luke 1:26-38)
