    Jesus "fills full" the prophecies that Messiah would be a Nazarene and a light to the Gentiles. His place of birth and service is part of his humiliation as God reached down to lift us up.

    Matthew 2__19-23 The Nazarene "Jesus of Nazareth" Jesus moved from Bethlehem in Judea to Nazareth in Galilee with a stopover in Egypt. Saying you are from Nazareth is a bit like saying you live in Shelbyville or Knightstown. You aren’t living in a place known for its class or appeal. ...read more

    3 Prophetic Statements Sometimes life seems out of control and our response to the problems and difficulties we see around us is to fear. We worry that God either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about what is going on. We worry that evil is getting the upper hand. We worry that God can’t stop the ...read more

    Joseph, Jacob's son was a dreamer.

    At Christmas we all hope to either find or give the perfect gift. But if there was a present under the tree with Jesus' name on it, what would that look like? What would it contain?
