Luke 2:1-12 “Lessons from the Land: Bethlehem”



This week we begin a new series called “Lessons from the Land.” We’ll begin in Bethlehem, contrasting Jesus’ birth in this humble village with the power and pomp of Herod the Great, whose Herodian fortress loomed over the little village. What does this contrast between the King of Glory and Rome’s puppet king mean to teach us about who God is and what it looks like to be a follower of Christ rather than the powers of the world?

2 Peter 3:11-18 “In the (New) Beginning”



In this final message in our series, Peter will be wrapping up his main emphasis and conclusion. The main idea is that we are to live this life now with one eye toward the future that Jesus is bringing about. Jesus calls this future, "The Kingdom of God." We are to live in the present according to the principles we believe will be part life in the Kingdom of God. In this way, we are living 'now' in the way we believe God will have us live "In the New Beginning."
