The incarnation didn’t end at the manger. Every single step Jesus took on this earth was redemptive. Every temptation He faced in the wilderness, every tear He shed at Lazarus’ tomb, every time He reached out and touched a leper, He was living the perfect human life we never could. Where Adam rebelled, Jesus obeyed. Where we hid, He revealed. Where we said no to the Father, He said yes all the way to the cross. He learned obedience through suffering, not because He needed to grow, but because He was carrying us in Himself, rewriting our story with His own blood, sweat, grace, and love.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men, is not just a slogan to be confined to December. It is the most radical display of angelic intervention documented in Scripture. Apart from Christ Himself it is the single greatest announcement of God‘s intention and heart as a Father over humanity through Jesus. In Short, it is the gospel.

Every one of us has been given three powerful servants. You can ignore them but you can't get rid of them entirely. They were never meant to be our masters. They were meant to minister to you and serve you. Yet in many Christian lives they have staged a rebellion and now sit on the throne that belongs to Christ alone. In this podcast you'll learn three key areas of life that we all must learn to govern well.

God spends all of history chasing us with the balloon of grace and the styrofoam baseball bat of a vindicating judgment. If you really grab ahold of the grace of God, you'll discover that he really ruins all of our religious trauma with joy. And so he refuses to let our fear define him anywhere else than in our own twisted imaginations.

David’s life, worship, and tabernacle all point to Jesus—the greater David who brings the Ark (God’s presence) into human hearts through His cross, opening Zion’s eternal glory to all who trust Him.
