The Gift of Love

Scripture: Luke 2:1-7 (NKJV), Micah 5:2 (ESV), Romans 5:3-5 (NIV), John 16:21 (NIV), Psalm 30:11-12

And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
²This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
³So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
⁴Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
⁵to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
⁶So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
⁷And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2:1-7 (NKJV)

Inconvient Decree
Challenging Journey
Painful Delivery

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
¹²That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalm 30:11-12 (AMP)

Joy is the gift that lies ahead of you!

New Offer

April 7, 2015 by Brad Murphy Leave a Comment

New things smell new. New things look new. New things also need some-getting-used-to, because new things mean change.

God has new things planned for you. Things that you may have heard about, but haven’t experienced. Things that may terrify or excite you.

Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
– Isaiah 43:19

At the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly ministry He commissioned a band of followers to carry the message of His Kingdom to the farthest reaches of the earth. He promised them power to witness. He promised them victory. He promised them Himself.

In the sermon series, NEW, we will study all the wonderful, powerful, and difficult things the disciple Peter, and other disciples, experienced in the days, weeks, and years after Jesus resurrection.

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday: I Will Give You | Abide: Live Like Jesus 18

What kind of tree are you? Are you and orange tree? Apple tree? Banana tree?

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
– John 15:4 (ESV)

You know a tree by it’s fruit.

Abide in me! This summarizes the final teachings of Jesus in his last few hours on earth.

As we continue to study the book of John on Sunday mornings, we have transitioned into Jesus teaching on his enduring presence. As we live in his Spirit we will bear his fruit.

From the Mouths | Live Like Jesus Week 12

December 7, 2014 by Brad Murphy Leave a Comment

Are you just a Christian, or are you a Christ follower?

In today’s American culture, being a Christian can be nothing like following Jesus. Christianity has become a religion. Religion is something that Jesus despised, calling religious people hypocrites and a brood of vipers.

In this series, Live Like Jesus, the Gospel of John, we will explore the Word that became Flesh. We will uncover the mystery that is following Jesus. Join us for the journey.

Listen Now to Week 12: From the Mouths
