Jan 8, 2023The People Around JesusBy: Phil PeacockSeries: The Prodigal GodLuke 15:1-10 Introducing “The Prodigal God” by Timothy Keller:
- This series is a study of Jesus’ parable we tend to call “The Prodigal Son,” though a better title would be “The Loving Father” or “The Two Lost Sons.”
- Though we think of “prodigal” as meaning wayward or rebellious, in truth it means “recklessly extravagant.” We will be looking at God’s extravagant love toward all of His lost children!
- There were the tax collectors and “sinners” who came to learn. (v.1)
- There were the Pharisees and teachers who came to judge and criticize. (v.2)

Jan 1, 2023Striving Toward God’s High CallingBy: Jeff PoythressSeries: (All)Philippians 3:12-14 Today is the beginning of a new year! Rather than getting caught up in stereotypical New Year’s resolutions, why don’t we study and apply what the Bible teaches about making a new start in life? The Apostle Paul gives us some excellent guidance in his letter to the Philippian believers. We need an attitude of humility. “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect…” (v.12a)We need the aspiration to grow. “...but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” (v.12b)We need to keep a singular focus. “But one thing I do…” (v.13a) We need to leave the past in the past. “Forgetting what is behind…” (v.13b) We need to set our sight on the future God has in store! “I press on toward the goal…” (v.14)

Dec 25, 2022A Shepherd for the ShepherdsBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)Luke 2:8-20 Perhaps we all tend to identify with the shepherds of the nativity story because they were just common, ordinary people like us. It was to them that the angels first announced the birth of the Savior, sending them to find the Christ Child in a manger in Bethlehem. Their hearts were filled with wonder, but there was much they did not yet understand about that precious baby. They didn’t know the child sleeping in a manger was also a Lamb.

- Revelation 5:12
- John 10:14
Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God sent into the world to save us from our sins. He is also the Good Shepherd who came to seek and save us.Are you ready to follow him today? - Dec 18, 2022Jesus

Dec 4, 2022MessiahBy: Phil PeacockSeries: What's In A Name?One of the most important and most common titles for Jesus in the New Testament is “Christ.” It is the Greek translation of the Hebrew term “Messiah,” which means “The Anointed One.”In the Old Testament, prophets, priests and kings were often anointed with oil to illustrate their appointment to a high office. Jesus the Messiah fulfills each of those ministries with complete perfection. Isaiah 11 is one of the many messianic prophecies found in the Old Testament. It helps us understand at least three very important characteristics of the One sent by God to bless and to save us.
- He is the Righteous Messiah. (11:1-5)
- He offers Peace and Security. (11:6-9)
- He extends an Invitation to all who are scattered and lost. (11:10-12)
