We can always be encouraged that we don’t have a distant God who is far or angry with us. The truth is, we have a close and intimate Father who came and served as our perfect priest. In this message, Ps. Andy walks us through how the gift of frankincense represents the priestly role of Christ and how in Jesus coming to us He became our bridge to God and makes it possible for men to enter into the presence of God.

When Jesus came he was offered three gifts from the wisemen from the East. Often we look at this as a simple exchange, a moment of blessing but the gifts given to Jesus carry far more meaning then we may realize. Gold, frankincense and myrrh speak to the authority and life of Jesus in His kingship, priesthood and prophetic life. This week Ps. Lukas breaks down the meaning of myrrh and how it speaks to our suffering and more importantly, His suffering and love for you and me. YES… God really is that big that the cross was already showing up in the manger.

Hearing from God can be a scary concept. What if God doesn’t want to speak to me? If He does, how does He speak? How do I know if it's God speaking or something else? What do I do if God is asking me to do something strange? As we wrap up our FEAR NOT series, Pastor Adam answers these questions and more as he looks at Joshua Chapter 6 and the fall of Jericho.

“What if'' syndrome is a common yet plaguing fear for many people's minds. “What if I don't get the call back, what if they say no, what if I don't get that contract…” Life is always changing and It’s really difficult to know what's going to happen in the future… which is why we need to remember the faithfulness of God in moments of fear. Joshua had something unique to him, in that he had seen the promised land. He went as a spy by Moses and he knew what lay ahead of them, he knew what God could do, he had seen his power and didn’t let the fear of the unknown stopping him from seeing the promises fulfilled for himself and the Israelites.
