    The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more

    Some of the same misassumptions about the Messiah that caused the people of Israel to miss the coming of the Messiah can cause us to miss God’s working in our lives. We’ll look at four Christ-mis assumptions.

    This sermon starts by looking at just how amazing it is that the word became flesh and then continues by looking at how truly amazing it is that since God was made a child we can become His children.
