If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

What Does "morality" Even Mean?

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019

A CLASH OF WORLDVIEWS In our passage this morning, Paul is speaking to the faithful in the church at the Greek colony of Colossae, now in modern day Turkey. Many of these believers came from a pagan background. They didn’t grow up with the benefit of stories about God’s providence or saving work ...read more

The Incarnation From God's Perspective

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Jan 30, 2012

The doctrine of the Incarnation touches and affects virtually every single area of Christian theology.
