The Scandal of the Incarnation
Sermon Series

16-adventAdvent 2016

There is no greater, more enthralling story than that of the one, true God taking on flesh. All of us have our own story, but to be brought into the drama of God’s own life is pretty overwhelming. In fact, it is unbelievable.

The account, actually, is quite scandalous. Speaking of Bethlehem’s manger, a preacher once asked the question, “What’s a good God like that doing in a place like this?” Maybe you have had the experience of wondering the same thing. Could Jesus actually want to become inseparably connected to the likes of you and me?

In the next four weeks we will be exploring the story of how the Son of God took on our human nature, why He chose the people He did to point to his arrival, and how He enters into the human story, your story. When Jesus enters your scandalous story everything has the possibility of becoming glorious, free, whole. It is a marvelous story, almost too good to be true.

Theology 101
Sermon Series

16-theology-101Do you love the one, true God? Then you are a theologian. Who are you created to be? A response that fits with the Bible will be theological. The same is true for discussions of sin, salvation, and discipleship.

An earlier thinker said that Christian theology is, “what is believed everywhere, in all places by everyone.” In this series, Theology 101, we are going to explore the foundations of our faith. This series is immensely practical. To act rightly a Christian must think rightly. Right theology always produces a passionate love for God and the world he loves.

Our vision and mission at ECEMC is based upon right-thinking about God and His purposes that has been tested and found to sit well with reality. Come and be fed so that you might offer truth and grace where you live out your theology.
