Out of Bethlehem comes the one who will restore the brokenness of our world. Until this restoration is complete we live in the space between chaos and wholeness called lament.
Our joy will grow when we start training our attention on what God is doing.
We begin our Christmas teachings by considering how we can trust God's promises. As we trust God it can become easier to know that He is working even if we don't see it and that will help us become people of transforming hope.
The last teaching in our series, We Believe, covered three specific doctrinal points and contained a lot of information. We've split this message into three shorter teachings for those who may want to revisit one of those three parts. This third part focuses on what eternity looks like for us as physically resurrected followers of Christ.

We bring our teaching through The Apostles Creed to it's conclusion as Pastor Mike explores what the creed means when it describes Christ's followers as being forgiven, physically resurrected, and eternal.
We continue our teaching through the Apostles Creed exploring what "the communion of saints" means and how it applies to our life together as the people of God.
Joe Dea continues our series "We Believe" by exploring what "one holy catholic" actually means and how it applies to our lives today as part of the people of God.
The Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood person of the Trinity. Yet, the Holy Spirit is the most present person of the Trinity in the life of a Christian because we are told by Jesus that the Spirit indwells us. In this message we look at the thread of the Spirit's presence throughout the whole of scripture.
Confession is not something that we practice much in the Protestant Church. But it is a Biblical practice that provides relief and fullness of life that we will never understand otherwise.
Jesus is in the unique position to both advocate and judge. But this may not mean what we always think it means.
After Jesus resurrected he spent some time with his disciples and friends. Then, scripture tells us, he ascended into the Heavens and sits at the right hand of the Father. What does all that mean?
This line of the Apostle's Creed is often quite confusing. Where did Jesus descend to and from where did he resurrect? This is critically important to understand if we are to know what did Christ's resurrection actually accomplish.
Jesus, being both fully God and fully human, suffered at a specific time and in a specific place, died and was buried.
Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. What in the world does that mean and why is it integral to our faith?
Listen in as we teach through the second line of the Apostles Creed so that we can understand that it carries much more theological and practical significance for our lives than simply saying "I believe in Jesus."
This is the first message of our series, We Believe, in which we examine the foundational truths of the Christian faith. In this first sermon, we look at the implications of believing that God is Father and Creator.
Join us as we consider our redemption in light of the Old and New Testament uses of the word and how it can play out in our live as followers of Christians.
In the concluding chapter of Ruth we see how Boaz makes good on his word to redeem Ruth and the land that belongs to the family of Elimelech. We also see the bigger picture of how God has been faithful to redeem Naomi and Ruth through the tragedy of their lives.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
