As we study the prophecies about the Messiah, Pastor Ford will remind us that the prophet Micah foretold Christ’s birth.  And Micah didn’t want us to miss his message: “Listen! The most significant person Who ever lived and Who ever will live, will be born in the most insignificant place—Bethlehem.”...

God delights in using little and seemingly insignificant things.  We can see that in His choice of Bethlehem as the birthplace of His Son.  Even the prophet Micah said, “Oh thou Bethlehem Ephrata, little are you.”  So, Pastor Ford asks us today, “Are we little enough, to become big enough for God to delight...

John 13 describes how Jesus washed His disciple’s feet in the upper room.  As we look at His example of leadership, we’ll see that Jesus was motivated to serve others out of His love for them.  He loved His disciples, so He humbled Himself and washed their feet to demonstrate for them true servant leadership. ...

When we say that we love others, we should ask ourselves, what is it costing us?  If we really love others like we think we do, then that love will require sacrifice.  Sometimes it costs us things like our pride or our dignity to take on the role of humility and serve people sacrificially.  ...

At the beginning of this new year, we don’t need resolutions or a list of things to accomplish.  We need a revelation.  We need to understand Who we have in Christ and then confidently cling to Him.  ...

Faith has an object. That object is Jesus Christ. It’s not just faith in faith, for the sake of believing. In order to be saving faith, our faith has to be in Jesus, because faith in faith really amounts to nothing more than just positive thinking.

As we study further about how faith worships, Pastor Ford will teach us today that righteousness is accredited to our account. Holiness is the result of righteousness. So righteousness is positional, and gained by what Christ did for us on the cross. But holiness is something we practice in life as we seek to honor Him.

Looking at the example of Enoch from Genesis 5, we’ll learn today that if we want to walk with God, we have to be on the same page with Him. But we need to realize that a walk with Him also means being on His page and not on our page. It means doing it His way and not our way.

Worship must be intricately tied to worth. When we worship God, we make an attempt to express to Him the value that we see He has.  But we can’t give God anything equivalent to all that He’s worth, so we give Him all we’re worth. That’s one way we can honor God and worship Him with our money. ...

By looking at the life and faith of Enoch, we discover that the quality of our life is more important than the quantity of our life. It is better to have a short-lived godly life, than a long-lived ungodly life. ...
