The Great Rescue - Follow After Jesus
Think about a baby... what it can do and what it can't do. Now think of the God of all creation - why on earth would He choose for His Savior of the world to come into the world as a baby? As we get ready to celebrate Christmas - the advent of Jesus' birth, join Chip for the surprising, encouraging answer!Main Points
Jesus' last night with His disciples:
He cared for them - John 14:1-2
He gave them hope - John 14:3b
He gave them purpose - John 14:3c-4
He told them the way - John 14:6
JESUS is: The WAY, the PATHWAY, the ROAD.... to eternal life with God.
Jesus modeled 5 new paradigms to show us how to get on / stay on…
….the PATHWAY to eternal life with God:
Jesus’ Birth = New Life
He modeled: Radical Humility
Jesus’ Family = Genuine Love
He modeled: Radical Dependence
Jesus’ Journey = Personal Growth
He modeled: Radical Obedience
Jesus’ Relationships = Lasting Greatness
He modeled: Radical Service
Jesus’ Measure = Unquenchable Joy
He modeled: Radical Generosity

Peace on Earth - Fear Not, The Good News is Here
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” We are all familiar with that verse, but what does it look like to live with the peace God promises? In this program, guest teacher Tim Lundy takes us to Luke chapter 2 and the angel's stunning announcement to some humble shepherds. Discover how this declaration of joy and hope can transform your experience of Christmas—and bring lasting peace into your everyday life.Main Points
Fear manifests in various ways:
Anxiety
Worry
Anger
Driven-ness
“Fear not” to the shepherds --Luke 2:8-20
Good news for all people – Jesus came
Peace is here
Jesus fulfilled prophecy --Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9
Question: Are you experiencing that genuine peace?
The problem: We often take the command “fear not” and try to address it without the promise. We can’t do anything on our own.
The solution: You need more of Jesus
Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
You want to be filled with Jesus, then pray.
Seek His Kingdom.
Connect with His Church and His Word.

Peace on Earth - Fear Not, God Uses Costly Obedience, Part 2
Did you know there is a hidden obstacle that prevents us from being used by God? In this program, Chip reveals this roadblock and connects it to the Christmas story in a way you have never heard before. Learn from the life and faith of Jesus’ earthly father, how to break through this barrier, experience the power of the Holy Spirit, and step into your God-given purpose.Main Points
The Christmas Message = “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.”
Exhibit A – Zechariah & Elizabeth: Elderly, barren couple receive a miracle baby who becomes the first prophet in 400 years. --Luke 1:13
Exhibit B – Mary: Humble, peasant girl from the wrong side of town becomes the “earthly mother of God.” --Luke 1:30-33
Exhibit C – Joseph: Blue collar worker marries unwed mother and becomes the “earthly father” of the Savior of the world. --Matthew 1:20-21
The Question: Why are so many people disappointed and disillusioned with God’s “wonderful” life?
The Answer: Joseph teaches us the high cost of receiving God’s wonderful plans.
The Context: A genealogy that challenges and upends Matthew’s audience’s worldview and expectation about the Messiah.
The Situation: Not so wonderful. --Matthew 1:18
Joseph’s Response: A painful dilemma. --Matthew 1:19
The Angel’s Intervention – “Fear Not!” --Matthew 1: 20-23
Joseph’s Obedience – Immediate, radical & costly. --Matthew 1: 24-25
The Price --John 16:33, 1 Peter 4:12-16
The Path --John 12:24, Luke 9:23-25
The Process --Romans 5:1-5, James 1:2-4
The Product --Ephesians 2:10, 3:20-21
