When John says that The Word who was God came to dwell with us, what does that actually mean? What spiritual backdrop is this Word entering into and supposedly solving? Why would this "Word" be so concerned with giving people the right to be children of God anyways? Join us in our consideration of these questions and more!

John 1:1-18: "In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." We will explore John's overarching theme of Jesus as the WORD who is the "true light" in the world. This will be a message for anyone desperately searching for some kind of light.

This Sunday marks our third study in the Gospel of John, where we will explore John's overarching theme of Jesus, as the "true light" in the world. This will be a message not just for those who already believe Jesus brings light, but those who are desperately searching for some kind of light amidst the darkness that they are experiencing.

What does it mean that the Word was with God and the Word was God? The implications of this phrase and the opening 18 verses of John are so cosmetically important that we will take not one but three weeks to unpack as much as we can, humanly speaking.

Introduction to our new sermon series on the book of John! Together we'll explore and answer these background questions. It will really set the stage for what should be one of the best teaching series we’ve ever had. 
-  Why is John often the first book that many recommend to new Christians or not-yet Christians to read through? 
- Why is John’s gospel so different than the other three?
- How do the four gospels play or dance together to give us a more accurate portrait of who Jesus is? 
- Why does it seem that John decided to write his gospel at such an old age? 

As we seek to ask and consider these questions together, I hope to give you the backstory behind what will be the series subtitle:

“What [exactly] do you think I believe?”

We've heard a lot about God changing our expectations and in our final sermon in our changing expectations series, Pastor Ryan examines how exactly God changes us by way of communion with him.

No matter how you are feeling today or tomorrow, I pray that you make time and save energy to deeply consider the FACT of Christmas. God loves you so much that he sent Jesus the Son and the Christ to save you. Not only that, He is coming soon to wrap up this undeserved gift of forever freedom and forever life with Him.

John 11 | In line with our theme for Advent, "Changing Expectations", we look at the story of Lazarus' death and how Martha & Mary (all of whom the writer explicitly says Jesus loved) built a case towards Christ in his apparent 'lack' of urgency to save Lazarus from illness and ultimately death. They've been waiting for the promise of the Messiah, the Coming one, and now he's here - but, it seems, he hasn't been doing what they've expected him to do. How do we feel about being in the same place of waiting for the promise of the Coming one this second time around? How do we - in the face of pain, disappointments, and discouragement - have hope?

John 6 | When the crowds found out that Jesus wasn't going to lead a revolution against the Romans they were disappointed and left but the disciples remained. What was the difference and how can we have the kind of faith that can be ready for whatever God has in store?

What exactly was he expecting after the flood? Noah’s faithfulness and obedience to God endured 120 years of ridicule as he built a giant boat in the desert. It’s not hard to imagine that he expected things to be much different after God's punishment for the wickedness of the land. But did his expectation meet with reality?

As we lean into the season of the coming of Christ we look to the account of Hagar. How could we have anything in common with this obscure Egyptian slave girl of antiquity? How could she point ahead to the coming Christ?

1 Corinthians 15:35-50 || More than the months it took for our series to finally get to this passage in 1 Corinthians 15, you could say that it took 15 years in the making for Dave! This is "THE" passage that confirmed the calling of our lead pastor David Evanger in 2007 which began the journey of being called to the mission field of sharing the gospel with young working adults and inviting them to "Consider Jesus". It's what led him to start the "Consider Concerts" and to eventually plant a church in the heart of Seattle called "Sideris" which is the Latin root of the word "consider" but can also be translated to 'heavenly body". Poetically, Sideris appeals to our eternal state as Christians and also points to the church as the body of Christ which is what we aim to do as a church with every message, song, and conversation.

Our ministry partner Voula Antouan is the Director of Humanitarian Initiative Bridges which operates and serves refugees in Athens, Greece. Her ministry involves serving the tangible needs of displaced people seeking asylum in Greece from dangerous situations which forced them to flee from the Middle East, while also meeting their personal/emotional/ spiritual needs, and sharing prayers and the gospel with them if they so desire. We're excited to hear what she has to say to us as a word of encouragement and exhortation to the mission field we’ve been called to here in Seattle.

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 || Christians are prone to forgetting how to handle the gospel of grace which leads to all sorts of problems and the Corinthian church is a great example. What might it look like to let the grace of the resurrection rule our lives? What tangible and existential problems might it correct?
