The message of Christmas is that God is with us (Matthew 1:23)! Many of us need to hear that during the holiday season. We are never alone.

Perfectly suited for the Christmas season, “God With Us” (Immanuel) provides inspirational reminders of the impact of Christ’s birth.

Tired of playing it safe? This 6-week series will inspire us to pray boldly. To pray powerfully. To pray unselfishly. We will see how to pray prayers that search our souls, break our spirits, and send us in pursuit of God’s calling for our lives. Be warned: they are dangerous prayers. They are prayers of courage, not comfort. Prayers that test and challenge us. Prayers that cause us to take a long, hard look at our hearts. But prayers that move the heart of God and open the door for God’s blessings in our lives! “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16).

Jesus' questions were crafted to make us think about our lives in new ways. Taking the time to ponder His questions can lead us to discover new truth about God, life, and ourselves!

A call from God to follow Jesus Christ, and to turn the world upside-down. His life. His ministry. His message. This is the life of Paul.
