THE INCARNATION OF JESUS | CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY EP. 1
It's Christmas time and we're kicking off a special Bible study series diving deep into the story that changed everything! Join Zach, Michelle, and Zoe as they unwrap the incredible account of Jesus' incarnation, exploring the lives of two ordinary people who were chosen for the most extraordinary purpose: Mary and Joseph.
In this first episode, we're looking at the Gospels of Matthew and Luke to understand why we have four different accounts of Jesus' life and what makes each one unique. Discover the historical context of Israel under Roman occupation, the expectations of a coming Messiah, and why God chose a teenage girl from Nazareth and her honorable fiancé to bring the Savior of the world into humanity. We unpack Mary's radical faith and willingness to say yes to God despite the cost, and Joseph's incredible character as he chose honor and grace over revenge and disgrace—literally saving Mary's life in the process.
From God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called to love your enemies like Jesus taught, this episode is packed with practical takeaways for your own faith journey. Don't wait for a miraculous sign to start living honorably—God is calling you to do the right thing now. Stay tuned for Part 2 as we continue unwrapping the Christmas story!

WHY INTIMACY IMPACTS HOLINESS | AARON SMITH FROM THE HANDLEBAR PODCAST
We're so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Aaron from The Handlebar Podcast, recorded live at Big Church Festival!

Discover how to tap into God's zeal rather than relying on your own, learn why disappointment is the secret ingredient God uses to give you authority, and find out how to navigate the tensions of faith without falling into striving or religion.
