In a culture driven by fear, how can we live without worry? It's a concept that can seem like it's easier said than done. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus directly addresses fear and worry, instructing us not to be anxious because God cares deeply for us and provides for all of our needs.

Outside of the Kingdom of God, there is no way to measure our worth other than what other people think about us. What Jesus teaches us is that our value and worth should come from God, who deeply loves and cares about each and every person.

Have you ever been caught in a lie? Have you ever caught someone else in a lie that directly effected you? If you look close enough, you will find that we all lie a lot more than we realize.

Let's talk about sex. Is sexual desire evil or good? How do we know when we have crossed the line? The truth is that sex is a gift from God, but many times, especially today, we have warped and twisted it into something else entirely.

#blessed. What does it really mean to live a blessed life? When we look at the beatitudes in Jesus' teaching, we see words of hope and healing to those who have been marginalized in our world. It is an invitation for the looked-over, left-out, lost, and left-behind people of our world.

One of the things that dominated the teachings of Jesus was the Kingdom of Heaven. This is not something that was a future blessing or some destination at the end of a long Journey. The Kingdom of Heaven is a present power that can be experienced now. It is established here on earth by His people coming together and living it out.

We all seek to live a good and beautiful life. We find pleasure in the the things of this world: money, sex, technology, entertainment, food and drink, etc. All of those things are great, but they can't truly create a good life full of peace. Only a life of virtue can do that.

When we look at the story of the wisemen, we see three men who were the academics of their time. They studied science and astrology, looking for answers and wisdom. The wonderful thing is that in the end, they were brought to the same Christ-child as everyone else.

The coming of Jesus was not without conflict. In Matthew's telling of the story, King Herod plays a major role in Christmas story. The conflict of Christmas brings to us a new fight, a new King, a new fallout, and a new humility.

In a lot of ways, the coming of Christ was the opposite of what was expected for a Messiah. One of the most memorable scenes in the entire Bible happens when the birth of Jesus is first announced to a group of Shepherds. These were people who were despised, outcast, lowly, and seemingly, unworthy.
