    "o Come, O Come, Emmanuel" Series

     | 10,313 views

    I have always wanted to so an Advent series based on traditional Christmas carols/hymns. We've gotten so used to them that I think we miss the depth of the theology contained within in them. One of the most ancient is the beautiful hymn that contains the ancient names of Jesus.

They provide an almost mystical connection with the endless anthems of praise raising at this very moment before the heavenly throne. They ...read more

    Claiming Jesus' return is imminent is not the say as claiming His return is "soon". A preterist look at His prophetic "I am" declaration (which was given the last Sunday of the year, 2012)

    Well (no surprise), the Mayan apocalypse didn’t happen, but let’s talk about the real one. I heard a prominent minister say with great conviction--that with all the wickedness in the world, the breakdown of society, natural disasters, and the turmoil in the Middle East--Jesus is ...read more
