The God Who Sees You
The reality is that there is nothing normal or mundane about the God who stoops, washes feet, and takes the punishment for our sins onto himself - all so that we can be forgiven and be adopted as sons and daughters of the God of the Universe. It's kind of a big deal and our attitude should reflect it!

Grow
When we follow Jesus and connect to the Church the way that God expects the natural outcome is we grow. This is the expectation of all who are disciples of Christ. We are expected to grow which is the life long process of becoming more like Christ.

Connect to the Church
Even a cursory read through the New Testament will show us that God expects Christians to plug into the life of the church. A Christian that isn't plugged into the local church is like an athlete without a team to belong to - it just doesn't work!

And in all of that - he encourages Timothy to carry on in his absence. Paul intentionally passes the torch and puts his trust in Timothy to carry on his legacy.

Worship
Hymns or Contemporary Christian music? This has been the question many churches over the years have faced. But, regardless of our launching points worship is deeply meaningful to all Christians. Over time, we have engaged in what has been described as worship wars. In these “wars” we have truly lost sight of what is of utmost importance. Our preferences have clouded our understanding of worshipping in truth and spirit.

Mission
The mission of the church - given by Jesus - is to go and make disciples, baptizing them, and teaching them, and then going again - over and over and over. But - even though Christ has dictated the mission of the church - far too many churches have seemingly turned their mission into one of comfort and ease rather than one of boldly reaching out beyond ourselves.

When we think about what heaven will be like - one of the biggest wonders that we have is what our relationships will be like when we're there. What does it mean that we'll "see" God?

What we will be like
As we think about living eternally on the new earth - one of the main things that we want to know is what will we be like? What does it mean that we will live in resurrected bodies? What will they be like? Will we still be ourselves? Will people recognize us? Do we still eat and drink? Do we still know things from our lives and will we continue to learn new things?

The Bible tells us A LOT about what Heaven will be like. We just need to search the Scriptures and believe what they tell us.

Who am I?
Identity. Psychology Today said that the question "Who am I" is not one that is answered in adolescence. It is a fundamental question that many people struggle with throughout their lives. Does the Christian faith help us in addressing our identity? What about other systems of religion or philosophy?

Why this way?
And as we wrap up our advent series, we'll tackle the question - why did it all have to happen like this? We know by now that the timing was perfect, and that Jesus needed to be born of a virgin - and that without Christmas there could be no cross. By why did it have to be that way? Why so hard? What was the point? And how will it all play out in the future?
2017-12-24

Blessed Hope Church
Why does it matter?
"Why does it even matter?" We know that "when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law..." (Galatians 4:4). But what was the end goal? What did it accomplish for us? Why was it necessary? Most people probably know the textbook answer to these questions - but something wonderful happens when we take the time to dig deep into the truths of the incarnation. We begin to experience those truths in a new, fresh way - a way that impacts our lives and changes the way we see and understand Christmas.
