Although he was fully God, Jesus was also fully human, and that is why he is able to be the atonement for our sin and help us in our weakness.

In winter 2026, Pastor Ryan explored the claims of the Apostles’ Creed. His focus was the basic statements of faith that all Christians should be able to agree on. Here is the creed:
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

After the Magi came with gifts for the infant Jesus, acknowledging him as the King of the Jews, angels warned the Magi not to go back to Herod, and also warned Joseph to take Mary and the baby and flee to Egypt. Later, the angel told Joseph to leave Egypt and return home. What was the significance of this event in the life and ministry of Jesus, and what is its significance for us?

The birth of Jesus was surrounded by seemingly chaotic events. There, as in our lives, it can look like God has forgotten us. Pastor Ryan reassures us that God was already there.

Do you ever wish for a sign that would tell you what to do? In the passage from Isaiah, King Ahaz refuses to ask, but God provides a sign anyway: the virgin giving birth to a son, Emmanuel (God with Us). Pastor Ryan explores what that sign means for us today.

Once Jesus was born and the good news was announced, life went back to normal. People had to wait 30 more years to find out what Jesus’ birth meant. Before that, people had waited hundreds of years for him to come. Now, we have waited almost 2000 years for Jesus to come again, and we are still waiting. What is all that waiting for?

Advent is a season of waiting for Jesus to come. Not to come as a baby, because He already did that. We are reminded to wait and be ready for when He comes again.
