Matthew 1:18-25
Rev Alan Foster
One of the beauties of Christmas is the truth that God has come in the flesh. The Biblical term for this is Immanuel. It means God with us. Join us this Sunday as we explore the implications of the fact that at Christmas Jesus came to be God with us.
Matthew 4:23-5:2
Rev. Ben Coppedge
When you're stuck in an oppressive kingdom and can't get out, your only hope is if help comes to you where you are (in captivity) and as you are (powerless). And so our hope in the Gospel is not that God lets us find our way to help, but that help finds his way to us--where we are and as we are and without leaving us stuck there.

"Come follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). Join us this Sunday as we investigate this challenging statement by Jesus.
