The Gospel writer John says that Jesus came into the world and, for the most part, the world was indifferent to him. He came to his own people (the Israelites) and they did not welcome him but rejected him. We just celebrated Christmas and Jesus coming to us. Are we guilty of the same? Join Pastor Greg as he shares ways in which we have failed to recognize and receive Jesus and how we can remedy that in the upcoming new year.

On his last night with the disciples, Jesus tells them that he is going away and that they will be staying around to continue his work. This is not what they expected. They are confused and have questions including one from Philip: "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Join Pastor Greg as he shares how Jesus reassures his disciples, and us, with the promise of the Holy Spirit.

After Jesus' resurrection he appeared to the disciples a couple of times. Despite their initial feelings of joy, they were unsure of what to do next. Perhaps dealing with depression, cynicism, or shame, they retreated to their former way of living. What do we do when our fondest dreams fall apart? Join Pastor Greg as he shares from this scripture what we can do when life is not making sense.

On the first evening after being resurrected, Jesus appeared to his disciples, but one disciple, Thomas, was not with them. Thomas would not take the others' word that Jesus had been raised from the dead. When Jesus appeared to them again a week later, Thomas was able to see for himself the resurrected Christ and proclaim, "My Lord and My God." But where was Thomas that first appearance? Why was he absent? What thoughts might Thomas have been wrestling with during that week? Join Pastor Greg as he shares how we might move forward with our lives when we feel like we've missed out on God's blessing in some way.

On this last Sunday before the new year join Pastor Greg as he continues to share the incredible blessing of God coming to earth as a human being in Jesus, and how that can challenge us to living more Christ-like in the new year.
