In this episode, we walk through Luke 18:9–14—the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector—and answer one of the most important questions in human history: How can a sinner be made right with God?This episode is brought to you by our ministry partner Accountable2You.

Speaker: Al van Zijl | Series: Got a Question for God? | Passage: Luke 1:1-5

In this message, we're learning how to replace the broken soundtracks in our minds, the lies we hear on repeat, with God's truth. Every temptation Jesus faced in the wilderness was a lie wrapped in a shortcut: a shortcut to God's timing, God's plan, or God's purpose. Instead of taking the easy way, Jesus answered every lie with Scripture, showing us the path to do the same. Following His example, we learn to spot the lie, swap the lie with God's Word, and speak the truth until it becomes the new default pathway our mind goes. Because you can't stop a lie; you have to swap it, and Jesus shows us how. Passage: Luke 4:1-12; Hebrews 4:15 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

The Promise of RestorationToday's Passage: Luke 4:16-21And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,    because he has anointed me    to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives    and recovering of sight to the blind,    to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. C. S. Lewis writes this story against the backdrop of war. Little children are shipped to the North of England, away from London bombings. Imagine the Pevensie children's fear and powerlessness, but also the power of a story like this to restore their hope. Two thousand years before, a girl not much older than Susan wondered, "How can this be?" The truest things are not always the most probable. Salvation comes in extraordinary ways.

Mary Magdalene is introduced as the one “from whom Jesus had cast out seven demons,” and yet unlike some of Jesus' closest friends, Mary didn't need to put her hand in the risen Jesus' side.
