In January, people are often focused on new beginnings. This month we will make or hear commitments like, “In 2012 I will…” – Lose 30 lbs. (John Doe) – Run a half-marathon. (Jane Doe) – Make it to the playoffs. (Every Cleveland Brown) – Not choke in the playoffs. (LeBron James)

Many are hoping to turn over a new leaf in their spiritual journeys too, asking, “What does God want for me in 2012? What is His vision for my future?”

“Immersed” is a series about the key teachings and metaphors that Jesus, Saint Peter, and Saint Paul used in the First Century to describe Christian faith and baptism. Water baptism is a picture of a new shot at life – a second chance at the many or few things we have been gettin’ wrong. These teachings are filled with images of new beginnings, clean consciences, and total immersion into the amazing grace of a kind God.

Every Christmas $450,000,000,000 is spent in the United States alone. And every year it seems that we are more stressed out and depressed during the holiday season. Is this really what Christmas is about? Spending lots of money and getting depressed? Is it time for a revolution?

Let’s conspire against the empty Christmases we’ve experienced in the past and engage in one that is meaningful and makes a difference in the lives of our friends and families. This Christmas we will learn what it means to worship fully by spending less, giving more, and loving all.

Dan Smith, Momentum Christian Church

People adopt many role models throughout their lives. Whether it’s President Obama, Marshall Mathers, or Tina Fey, we are always looking (consciously or subconsciously) for examples to lead us through this crazy life.

Jesus of Nazareth has been the most popular role model in history. In spite of that, the average person would admit, “I really don’t know many details about him.” Unfortunately many Christians – people claiming/trying to follow Jesus – would say the same.

This series will teach us about the life and teachings of Jesus (from the Gospel of Mark in the Bible) so that, if we choose, we can imitate his actions and obey his teachings.
