Lessons & Carols 2019.

Have we, like the Galatians, forgotten that we are only heirs of the kingdom because of Jesus and not because we follow the rules? The rules are a guardian, but they cannot keep us from sin; only Jesus can!

How do we respond when thrown into that which is unexpected, uncomfortable, or unpleasant? Do we magnify the difficulty, or like Mary, will we choose to open our hands to trust and magnify the Lord?

There comes a time when following jesus is no longer about our OWN agenda, or the expectations we had at first.

The prophets continually speak against the sins of idolatry and injustice, which go hand in hand. While we may not be bowing down to wooden idols today, the pattern idolatry still looks the same: we go to idols for provision but get theft, for service and get slavery, for deliverance and get destruction. While we fear to go to Jesus, when we do, we find just the opposite is true of him, but we have to open our hands and lay down our idols. Rev. Jon Hall | December 8, 2019 We're Incarnation Tallahassee and our weekly Sunday Worship is at 10am at 1609 Branch Street at the Family Worship & Praise Center building. We hope to see you there!

Being ready for Jesus to come back looks like waiting with open hands--not doing more, but doing less.

Many modern objections to Christianity are rooted in social concerns, like homosexuality, Western imperialism, and slavery.

Human beings are made in the image of God. This is foundational to understanding human nature, behavior, and even sexuality. However, because of the Fall this image is broken; none alive has escaped its debilitating effect on self-perception and even behavior. What is more, God so loves us that in Christ he took on flesh to make for us a new way being human. While there are many ethical implications to be considered regarding our views on sexuality, this session focused thinking theologically about human sexuality and on pastoral strategies with youth and young adults, struggling with sexual identity and the pain of brokenness. It offers an overview of responses to some of the current cultural trends such as LGBTQ issues. Rev. Jack Gabig PhD | November 7, 2019 We're Incarnation Tallahassee and our weekly Sunday Worship is at 10am at 1609 Branch Street at the Family Worship & Praise Center building. We hope to see you there!

Jon Hall | November 10, 2019 We're Incarnation Tallahassee and our weekly Sunday Worship is at 10am at 1609 Branch Street at the Family Worship & Praise Center building. We hope to see you there!

"What the soul is to the body, Christians are to the world." The Church is a strange family, and Paul calls us to provide for widows as if they were our own mothers, and also to creatively release them into ministry. Rev. Taylor Bodoh | October 27, 2019 We're Incarnation Tallahassee and our weekly Sunday Worship is at 10am at 1609 Branch Street at the Family Worship & Praise Center building. We hope to see you there!

Health organizations in the US are talking about our current "Loneliness Epidemic". The gospel of Jesus has an answer to this, and it turns out to be the only answer. From the way Paul explains the community of the church to Timothy, it becomes clear that there is no solution to loneliness other than community, and no real community apart from our fellowship in the truth. Rev. Jon Hall | October 20, 2019 We're Incarnation Tallahassee and our weekly Sunday Worship is at 10am at 1609 Branch Street at the Family Worship & Praise Center building. We hope to see you there!

Jesus says, "the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few," and from the beginning, the Church has always appointed ministers to lead the way in the harvest.

All Christian leadership is humble and cross-shaped, but is there a difference between the roles of men and women in the Church?

We hope to see you there!

Paul instructs Timothy to prioritize prayer in his churches, and explains to him why prayer alone has true power to change the world for good, and why it's needed at the heart of national politics for the sake of social and spiritual peace. It's a timely word for American churches in this season of political contempt. Rev. Jon Hall | September 22, 2019 We're Incarnation Tallahassee and our weekly Sunday Worship is at 10am at 1609 Branch Street at the Family Worship & Praise Center building. We hope to see you there!
