This is actually Christmas Sunday on the Church Calendar. It seems strange that Christmas Eve was actually a week ago, and we're still looking at Christmas Sunday. But one of the things that Christmas made available was our adoption as sons and daughters of God. So that will be our topic today. What does it mean that we are adopted by God?

This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent, and we're finishing up on our series titled What Child is This. We're looking at the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. This week we'll see that Jesus is our Prince of Peace. He is the peace we seek, and he provides the peace we need. We live in light of that peace in the present as we learn to be shaped by it and prepare for the future when it will be all we know.
This is the Third Sunday of Advent, and we're continuing our series titled What Child is This. We're looking at the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. This week we'll see that sometimes viewing our lives as moments leading up to a grand event helps us see glimpses of what God is doing. However, Jesus’s arrival centuries ago and his subsequent death, burial, and bodily resurrection call us to accept that in some ways the grand event is already in motion.
And we'll see some of the ways that Jesus is our Everlasting Father.
This is the Second Sunday of Advent, and we're continuing our new series titled What Child is This. We're looking at the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. This week we'll see that Isaiah’s audience had experienced tragedy and destruction at the hands of opposing forces and nations. Isaiah used his words to show them that God will be taking care of them through the Messiah, the King.
We have the same hope. Jesus will lead us as the Mighty God he is; our confidence in him to preserve us now and forever is critical.
This week on the church calendar is the first Sunday of Advent. We're starting a new series based on the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. We'll see that Isaiah’s prophecy called for the people to anticipate a person who would come and bring about foundational hope for the world. Seeing Jesus as the one who is fully capable of leading and ruling the world at large is critical to our understanding how he governs now and our confidence that he will govern this way forever.
