As we begin the Christmas season, we will look at how scripture describes Jesus and how so many people around Him were looking for the wrong thing. It is His character rather than His physical characteristics that make Him the perfect Messiah.

Oct 9, 2016I Will GoBy: Brian LewisSeries: I WillJesus told His disciples that it was their job to go into the world and tell His story. As His followers today, it is now our job. In his book,I Will: Nine Traits of the Outwardly Focused Christian, Thom Rainer indicates four main reasons that people shy away from this task.

We must be more connected with others in the church to grow the way God intends.
