Christmas is known to be a time where it is so easy to be consumed by the presents, pressure or preparations. Yet Christians know that Christmas can be so much more. It is the WORD becoming flesh and making his dwelling among us. These two talks look at what John 1:1-18 say to help us see what for many is the hidden message of Christmas. Happy Christmas.

JesusWORKS aims to introduce you to the Jesus of history by looking at his life, teaching and work. Primarily, it is for the person who wants to check out the claims of Jesus or the claims about Jesus – so that they can make up their own minds about him.
Yet, it is also for any Christian who wants to be prepared to give a reasoned answer for the hope that they have in the gospel of Jesus (1 Pet 3:15).
Jesus calls people to himself, yet he gives everyone the opportunity to examine him and his message before making that decision.
In this talk, the common reservation that a person could never be good enough for God is addressed. We look at what a person can do to respond rightly to what Jesus has done to save.
