 If we listen to Jesus (and the rest of the New Testament), we can see that love is an indispensable marker of a healthy church. I John 4:7-21 is the core text
 In John 3 some people come to provoke John the Baptist to play the comparison game with Jesus. John's response? "He must become greater, I must become less." How can we learn from John to find the peace that comes from not playing the comparis
 In Acts 1:1-8 Jesus says to WAIT on the "promised Holy Spirit."
 The New Testament teaches that Jesus is crucified, risen, ascended, and reigning at the Father's side. But when we look at the world is sure doesn't look like he's in charge. What can we make of that contrast?
 Jesus and Paul give us examples of what to do when people are wrong.
 Jesus's finished work on the cross is sufficient for us. He invites us to live out of that finished work.
 We see bold women who fear God and save lives in Exodus 1 & 2
 In Matthew 7 Jesus sets up some comparative binaries: Wide way, narrow way; false prophets, true prophets; false disciples, true disciples; wise and foolish people.
 The women went to Jesus' tomb early that Sunday. They knew Jesus had died, an obviously failed Messiah, but wanted to honor him by completing the burial customs for him. They found something they didn't expect.(Note: Recording missed first min
 Those who welcome Jesus into Jerusalem, welcome him as a prophet. But he was more than a prophet.
 We find several parable of Jesus in Matthew 13. Each gives the hearer an aspect of what the Kingdom is like. In the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven, we see that God's starts small. When we see that God starts small, we can look for
 Jesus' parable about the wheat and the weeds helps us understand how to deal with the quest for purity.
 In the Beatitudes we discover some of Jesus' teaching on happiness, on living the blessed life.
 What can we learn from how Jesus confronted temptation?
 From Matthew 4:12 - 9:38 we see Jesus' method of making disciples in detail.
 In Philippians 1:27 - 2:4 we see the character qualities we need to live well together as fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God.
If we are aware of the trajectory of God's work in our lives & in the world, we can hear God's invitation to join in what he's doing.
 What can we learn from Paul and other people in the Bible when it comes to facing risk well?
 There is a clear thread through scripture - and our history - of God calling people to be "Watchmen," to watch out for people. We see this in Ezekiel 33. We see it in 1 Corinthians 9. We see it in Jesus' ministry. We see it in the lives of Joh
1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." There is a connection between this confession of sin and our confession of faith that we do with the creeds.
 Jesus invites us to confidently enter God's rest.
 What help does the Bible give with the problem of suffering?
 Joseph went "all in" for Jesus. We can follow his example.
 The birth of Jesus was (and is!) a true occasion for joy for the whole world.
How did Joseph handle things when he learned Mary was pregnant? Through his obedience, he served an essential role in Gods gift of his Son.
