In our Bibles, we have four Gospels describing Jesus's time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The land of Israel - the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry - is often referred to as the "fifth Gospel."

Join us as we journey through Israel and study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. This group will challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through Bible study and teaching videos that take you on locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem, and more!

Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody!

The Christmas season can get busy—very busy. Though it’s a season of joy, the pace of life can get overwhelming, and somehow, in the midst of it all, we can lose sight of Jesus.

The weeks leading up to Christmas are typically fast-paced and focused on going and doing. But Advent is about slowing down, waiting, and preparing. We slow down and meditate on the state of the world without Christ and the darkness and sin that Jesus came to remove and destroy. We wait with longing and hope for the celebration and joy that Christmas brings, and we prepare our hearts and our homes for Christ’s arrival—now, through the Holy Spirit, and in the last days when Christ returns.

In Awakening Wonder | Experiencing the Nearness of Jesus, you are invited into this centuries-old practice of Advent—the intentional anticipation of God’s presence with man. During the season of Advent, you’ll join with Christians around the world to prepare your heart to celebrate the incarnation—the accomplishment of God taking the form of a human and dwelling among us!
