Luke 3:21-38 will switch our focus from John the Baptist to Jesus. This passage will show us that Jesus is both the Son of God (fully God) and the Son of Man (fully human).

Two senior saints (Simeon and Anna) have been longing to see the Messiah and in this story, their hopes are fulfilled. Jesus was and will be the fulfillment of our hopes as well. This Christmas, we can trust in Him.
Where have I seen God keep His promises?
How can I wait for God to fulfill my hopes?
The Merciful Hope of Christmas (Luke 1:57-80)
In this sermon we look at how God showed His mercy to His people through the birth of John the Baptist in Luke 1:57-80.

If nothing is impossible with God, how should I live?
The Hope of Christmas (Luke 1:5-25)
Life can often feel discouraging. When we are in the middle of those discouraging times, it can be tempting to succumb to hopelessness. Through the story of Zechariah in Luke 1:5-25, we can discover that the good news of Jesus provides Hope for the Hopeless.

How can Jesus be a source of hope to those who feel hopeless?
