When It Does Feel Like Christmas Dec 29, 2024

Show notes

In this short message from Deuteronomy 8, Pastor Rich highlights how the Israelites were cautioned not to forget God as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. In the same way, we should take care to remember and give thanks to God for each of his gifts, the greatest of which is Jesus. As we remember that “every good and perfect gift is from above,” it inevitably produces in us a greater sense of humility and a heightened awareness of God’s goodness.

#Blessed: Mary's Psalm Dec 22, 2024

Show notes

Ask just about anyone how they define “blessed,” and it will likely be far different than how Elizabeth, the angel Gabriel, and even Mary herself defined it. In this week's message from Luke 1, Pastor J.D. takes us through the Magnificat, Mary's song of praise and thanksgiving to God. The truths that we learn from this song—largely based in the Psalms—point to a God whose presence and promises anchor our hope, even when it doesn't feel like Christmas.

Good Grief Dec 15, 2024

Show notes

While everyone experiences grief differently, the fact is that grief itself is universal. Living in a world broken by sin, none of us will escape it—and yet, we can still grieve as those who have hope because of what Jesus has done for us. In this week's message from Psalm 137, Pastor Bryan helps us view grief through a gospel lens. By remembering God's goodness and sharing our grief with him, we will be in a better position to minister to others who are going through trials and hardships.

What Is Your Faith Actually In? Dec 08, 2024

Show notes

It’s one thing to say you have faith, but what about when that faith is put to the test? Trials and unanswered questions naturally have a way of revealing whether our faith is in God or in something else entirely. In this week’s message from Psalm 121, Pastor J.D. challenges us to examine our own lives in light of three questions of faith posed by this psalm. Ultimately, our help and our hope come from the only one truly deserving of our trust—the Lord, who never slumbers or sleeps.

What We Need Dec 01, 2024

Show notes

Many people have a tendency to confuse needs with wants, and this becomes even more pronounced with the arrival of the Christmas shopping season. For the Israelites living in exile, meeting their deepest need wasn’t a matter of satisfying their hunger or providing a luxurious place for them to live. What they really needed is the same thing we still need today: a Savior. In this week’s message from Isaiah 9, Pastor John shows us how everything we lack is met in this Savior, Jesus—the one we know to be the “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
