Was the triumphal entry actually a triumph? What would it look like if Jesus were to enter into our lives today?

In the Old Testament we see an interesting story where Jacob wrestles with God. The story says that Jacob won, but he also left the encounter with a busted hip! So what made it a win? Because Jacob held onto God and wouldn't let go until God BLESSED him. Life is a struggle. Struggle back. Hold onto God. Wrestle with your doubts, hardships, and fears...and do not let go without God telling you who you are.
What does it mean to find your "identity" in Christ? How can we give anything to God or his Kingdom, when we are so crooked on the inside? God restores and remakes us! IF we let Him...Find out more in this week's message!
With the Holy Spirit as our foundation, it's time to BRANCH OUT! In 2023 we will be doing so many things for the Kingdom...but we can't do them without staying connected to the source. God is the Vine!
We've spent three weeks looking at some of the myths around Christmas...and we now arrive at Christmas Day. So now, it's time to take a look at the TRUTH of Christmas. God loved the world so much that He saw our desperate need for Him...and helped us face our issues. He still helps us face our issues today, too. May we learn the strength that comes from God this year...and may we face the issues that come our way next year with more strength than ever before. Merry Christmas!
Christmas is an interesting holiday! We all know it SHOULD be about when God sent Jesus to us...but we don't always know the right way to celebrate it. It's not a holiday that's described or even named in scripture...yet it holds so much power in our lives. In Part Two, we will take a look at the "myth" that tradition is everything. It's helpful...but not everything! This week we take a look at the original Christmas story and see what we can learn about JOY and TEACHABILITY.

Are we NORMAL Christians, or AVERAGE Christians? What's the difference?
It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving...and we have even MORE to be thankful for than we know! Throughout the Christian life, God gives us crowns. Today, however, we ask this question: What do we give God in return?
This is what it's all been leading to! After we have looked at dozens of the Names of God throughout the Bible, we find the one that really matters the most: Jesus. Every Name we have reviewed is bound up in our Resurrected Savior. So if Jesus is truly listed as the Son of God...what can we claim based on this knowledge? Jesus is TRULY the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
God is not only glorious and personal...he is the Creator and Originator of it all. He is, in fact, Eternal...and if God is the Creator...then He may have a thing or two to say to us as we determine how to live our life!

God is glorious but God is also personal! Because of that...He takes protecting His people VERY seriously. He's not just a Warrior...He is a General, the Victor, and YOUR Victory Banner!
