Drew begins our Advent series as we seek to prepare our hearts by celebrating the Truth of Christmas - this is the season for us to appreciate the coming of Jesus Christ: God with us, Immanuel! As we consider Jesus as the 'Ultimate Christmas Gift', we begin by examining Isaiah 9:6-7, where we see the Giver, the Gift and the Recipients laid before us. As we do so, we can see that this Greatest Gift was totally Undeserved, yet graciously Presented, in order to bring salvation.You can watch this message via: https://youtu.be/zeD3Fh9AH88

As we explore the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, we see that one thing the the devil is seeking to do is undermine Jesus' TRUST in God's Provision, Plan and Power. Followers of Jesus often find the same temptations, so what joy we see in Christ's victory over these temptations, and what hope we have in knowing that we TRUST in the same God of provision, who's plan is good and who's power is unmatchable. May we grow in our knowledge of God's Word, and in doing so, we grow in our love for God, which will enable the "exclusive power of a new affection" (Thomas Chalmers), when we're faced with the temptation to sin.You can watch this message via: https://youtu.be/ispHCzA-N5s
