Ever wonder what Christmas is really about beyond the gifts and decorations? This message explores the fascinating story of Jesus's birth and why people call him the "Messiah" - a special title that means "chosen one."

Pastor Matt Sturdevant breaks down some interesting historical evidence about Jesus and shares a mind-blowing mathematical study. Did you know the odds of one person accidentally fulfilling just eight ancient predictions about the Messiah are the same as finding one marked coin in a state filled knee-deep with silver dollars while blindfolded? And Jesus fulfilled over 100 predictions!

Pastor Matt explains that Christians believe Jesus wasn't just a great teacher or leader—they believe He was sent by God to help fix humanity's broken relationship with their Creator. Whether you're spiritual, curious, or just interested in learning more about why Christmas exists, this friendly introduction helps you understand what Christians mean when they say, "Jesus is the reason for the season."

SUNDAY EXTRA: Meet the Pastors 1:34:41

1:34:41

In this discussion about the book of Colossians, Pastor Matt and Hope's associate pastors explore Paul's approach to writing, noting how he typically presents doctrine before addressing practical Christian living. They highlight Colossians 1:13-14 as a key passage, discussing how believers have been delivered from the domain of darkness and transferred to Christ's kingdom. In addition to hearing each person's testimony and call to ministry, the conversation delves into Paul's use of various images to illustrate salvation, including courtroom, Marketplace, bank, home, and battlefield analogies. These images help explain concepts like justification, redemption, forgiveness, adoption, and reconciliation. The pastors emphasize the importance of understanding these truths as a foundation for Christian living. The team also discusses the preeminence of Christ as presented in Colossians, noting how a proper understanding of Jesus' identity is crucial for believers to live out their faith effectively.

In this sermon, Pastor Brian delves into Paul's letter to the Colossians, focusing on chapter 1:24 through chapter 2:5. He likens Paul's attitude to that of a proud grandparent, willing to sacrifice and suffer for the spiritual growth of believers he's never met. Pastor Brian emphasizes Paul's goal of presenting mature believers to God, highlighting the importance of deepening our roots in Christ to withstand cultural and philosophical pressures. The sermon outlines three key attitudes demonstrated by Paul: willingness to sacrifice for others, investing in people for eternal returns, and cheering on fellow believers in their faith journey. Pastor Brian challenges us to reach out to those who have invested in our spiritual walk, to encourage those we are investing in, and to consider serving within the church family. He concludes by reminding listeners that deep roots in Jesus will help weather ideological storms and that our focus should extend beyond personal spiritual condition to helping others mature in Christ.
