    Merry Christmas and welcome to Christmas at Rainier View Online! Jesus is the King of Kings, not because he has overcome the world with force and might. But because he has demonstrated, through his life, death, and resurrection, that reckless love is the only power that can heal the world and bring real peace. Christmas is an invitation to live like this King and to become his agents of overcoming the evil and chaos of this world with good. Key Passage: Revelation 5:1-14 Bottom Line: Jesus is the only king who brings true hope.

    Herod was one of Israel's greatest architects, but also one of its vilest rulers. He taxed hard, lived opulently, was spineless when under pressure, and murdered anyone who got in his way (his brother, his wife, and even infants). Famously, before Herod passed away, he ordered his servants to murder the most beloved people on his staff, so that there would be tears during his funeral. Herod was a straight-up narcissist who ruled for himself.  Key Passages: Matthew 2:13-23 Bottom Line: A true leader is not a Lord but a servant  Find our times & locations to visit us in person or online at ⁠⁠https://www.rainierview.org⁠⁠ Interested in understanding more about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus?

    Josiah: The Faithful and Overzealous  Key Passages: 2 Kings 23:1-25; 2 Chronicles 35:20-24  Josiah is the GOAT. King at 8 years old, rediscovers the Book of Deuteronomy, and under his leadership, Israel experienced its greatest religious revival. But Josiah's early success and ambition get the best of him: he picks a fight that wasn't necessary, disobeys God in his attempt to honor him, and is killed.  Bottom line: There is a fine line between courageous and reckless.  Find our times & locations to visit us in person or online at ⁠⁠https://www.rainierview.org⁠⁠ Interested in understanding more about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus?

    When Rezin (King of Aram), and Pekah (King of the North) ask Ahaz to squad up so that they can take on Assyria and TP3, Ahaz says no. So, Rezin and Pekah declare war on Ahaz to pressure him into an alliance. Ahaz gets nervous and considers selling out to Assyria, but the prophet Isaiah warns him about making such a rash decision. Ahaz ignores Isaiah's advice, creates a partnership with TP3, his people lose their national independence, and God's temple is desecrated.
