We have become so familiar with the beauty of the Christmas story. But perhaps we have failed to make a personal connection with the people in the biblical narrative who were awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. To kick off this 5-part Advent series, The Right Time, Rev. Mark Rae will re-introduce Mary, the mother of Jesus. Why was she favored, and how did she respond to the news Gabriel delivered?

Scripture reveals the love of God in drawing mankind to Himself. The beautiful story revealed in scripture of the work of the Trinity in drawing us near provides comfort and assurance to all of God’s amazing love. Dr. Bob Kerrey, author of ‘How Does God Draw People to Believe?’ and Lead Pastor of Moon Valley Bible Church in Phoenix, Arizona will be our guest today.

Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Is Islam a religion of peace? How does the Kingdom of God differ from the Islamic State? These questions and more will be addressed today to help equip you to defend your faith in conversations with Muslim friends. With us to answer these questions is Al Fadi, a former Wahabbi Muslim, and founder of CIRA International: Center for Islamic Research and Awareness.

Imagine being raised in the religion of Islam in the birthplace of Islam, Saudi Arabia. Imagine being a strong defender of the Islamic faith with a fascination for Jihad. What would it take for God to get his attention, and draw him to Jesus Christ? Al Fadi, a former Wahabbi Muslim, and founder of CIRA International: Center for Islamic Research and Awareness will share that story about his life.
