The Light at the End of the Tunnel – The Heart of Hope with Deacon James Keating Ph.D. Deacon Keating and Kris McGregor address the following: Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Jesus showed the limitless humility and depth of his love by washing his disciples' feet, then calling his followers to do the same for one another.

Beholding & Belonging | Pastor Richard CriscoWe were not created for achievements, we were created for relationships. In this week's message, Pastor Richard Crisco shares how truly following Jesus is less about performance and more about connection: connection with God, with people, and with our God-given purpose.Jesus didn't command us to build platforms — He called us to make disciples. And here's the challenge: we become what we behold. Whatever captures our attention will eventually shape our hearts, our habits, and our future.Join us as we learn what it means to behold Jesus — and to belong deeply to His family and His mission.

Title: Wonderful - Beholding the God of Wonder by Examining Our Plane of Existence with the Cosmos Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Speaker: Ben Boyer Date: December 28, 2025 AM

Merry Christmas from Media Gratiae. In this special episode, Jordan and John conclude their series on meditating on the incarnation of Jesus. They explore what it means that Christ took on our flesh without sin, how the incarnation shapes our reconciliation with the Father, and much more. Of particular focus is a practical application that has been especially meaningful to Jordan: how the incarnation of Jesus equips us to wage war against and mortify our own sin. Christ is the only human to fully experience the weight of temptation, yet He never yielded. He endured to the very end, glorifying the Father fully. We pray that this episode, along with the linked Scriptural meditations and the series as a whole, nourishes your soul this Christmas season and strengthens you in the year to come 25 Meditations on the Incarnation: https://shop.mediagratiae.org/pages/advent-meditations Good Tiding of Great Joy by Charles Spurgeon https://banneroftruth.org/us/store/devotionalsdaily-readings/good-tidings-of-great-joy/ Jordan recommends this Christmas Devotional: https://grace-ebooks.com/library/J.

Welcome to a very special episode as we celebrate the Christmas Season! Most of the team went to a performance that was put on in our community, called Behold the Lamb by Andrew Peterson. It follows the story of the Gospel from Creation to the Fall through the Prophets and into the Birth of Jesus. This week, we'll be discussing what stood out to us from the concert and what God spoke to us through it. We encourage you to take a moment to slow down this week and behold the beauty of our Savior. Show Notes: Listen to the album, Behold the Lamb, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9CMF_co2fU&list=PLmMl5h6u6ynVPe3bgi6K7gV1D3mgIz6sgSupport the showEmail: sheispodcast@refugecity.churchInstagram: she_is_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheispodcastrccYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sheispodcast4645

Sunday Service: 12/21 | Advent | Beholding (LOVE)

Many of us approach the end of this season feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and defeated from the endless tug of war on our attention the holidays seem to demand. We believe Christmas has something to say to our striving, something to offer our overwhelm and the invisible burdens we all carry during this time of year and every other day of the year too. The invitation of Christmas is to behold – this kind of focusing, this narrowing our attention, this drawing near to marvel at the miracle of God with us. This message is from our Sunday morning Christmas service on December 21st, 2025.We meet at The Simon (957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027) on Sunday mornings at 10am.There will be NO SERVICE on Sunday, December 28th. We will resume on January 4th, 2026! Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

On this fourth week of Advent, we reflect on what it truly means to behold. We explore a familiar passage of Scripture that invites us to slow down, pay attention, and focus on what matters most. Scripture Referenced: John 1:29

Pastor Chris highlights the Christmas story--from Revelation Chapter 12!  

In this episode, David Wollen explores Luke 2 and the story of Simeon, revealing how centuries of waiting find their fulfillment in Jesus, the Lamb of God and the source of true peace.

For many people, the word father doesn't stir comfort; it stirs confusion, disappointment, or even pain. But Jesus didn't come simply to teach about the Father; He came to reveal His heart.

Our mission is to foster personal and cultural transformation through Love, Creativity, and Justice. We are a diverse community that seeks to live our faith in an authentic way, we long for the undiluted gospel, and for the world to see and know how good God really is.

The finale of the Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus series 2025.

"These five courageous men shone like five resplendent stars in the dark days of the anti-Christian Emperors Diocletian and Maximian. St Eustratius was a Roman general in the city of Satalios, Eugene was one of his comrades in arms and Orestes likewise a respected soldier. Auxentius was a priest and Mardarius a simple citizen who came, like Eustratius, from the town of Aravraca. The imperial governors, Lysias and Agricola, tortured Auxentius first as he was a priest. Beholding the innocent suffering of the Christians, Eustratius presented himself before Lycias and declared that he also was a Christian. While Eustratius was being tortured, Eugene stood up before the judge and cried out: 'I am a Christian too, Lycias!' When they were driving Eustratius and the other martyrs through the town, Mardarius saw them from the roof of his house, and he took leave of his wife and two frail daughters and hastened after them, shouting into the faces of their tormentors: 'I am a Christian too, like the Lord Eustratius!' Orestes was a young and handsome soldier, who stood head and shoulders above all the other soldiers. One day, when he was at target practice in Lycias's presence, the Cross he was wearing fell from his breast, and Lycias realised that he was a Christian. Orestes openly confessed his faith, and was martyred with the others. Auxentius was beheaded, Eugene and Mardarius died under torture, Orestes was exposed on a red-hot iron grid and Eustratius died in a flaming furnace. St Blaise (see Feb. 11th) gave Communion to St Eustratius in prison before his death. Their relics were later taken to Constantinople, and are preserved in the church dedicated to them — The Holy Five Companions. They were seen alive in that church, and St Orestes appeared to St Dimitri of Rostov (see Oct. 28th). A beautiful prayer by St Eustratius is extant, which is read at the Midnight Service on Saturdays: 'I glorify Thy majesty, 0 Lord for Thou hast regarded my lowliness and hast not shut me up in the hands of my enemies, but hast saved my soul from want...'. " (Prologue)

Gather round ye listeners come…Andrew Peterson is back. Watch the full conversation on YouTube. Songwriter/author Andrew Peterson has been singing about the birth of Jesus every Christmas for over 26 years in the form of a Christmas concept album and tour called Behold the Lamb of God (LINK: catch the tour or livestream—available to watch until 1/31). In this special episode, Russell joins Andrew in the Chapter House–Andrew's writing cabin–to talk about a tour that's spent twenty-six years creating a Christmas tradition for thousands across the world. Together, they swap stories about the origins of the album, the strange power of minor-key Advent songs, and the backstage chaos you never see—covert clementines, nightly TED talks, and the annual fear of forgetting a song that might contain more names than any other song ever written. They also talk honestly about exhaustion, longing, and why the story of the incarnation keeps surprising them after all these years. Plus: Wingfeather cosplay, Randy Travis covering “Labor of Love,” British carol-singing that'll blow your hair back, and why both of them have very strong opinions about the First Noel. If you've ever wondered what makes this Christmas tour feel more like liturgy than concert—or why the gospel still sneaks up on people who think they've heard it all—this conversation is a warm, funny, deeply human place to land.

Elder Blessing:God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) said “Let there be light in the expanse of the heavens!”In a moment, 200 sextillion stars across 2 trillion galaxies came to be, stretched across the universe a distance of 93 billion light years. Then God said “let us make man in our image (“IMAGO DAY”….), after our likeness.” God took the “dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” In a moment flesh and blood made up of 30 trillion red blood cells, containing 260 million proteins carried 6 quarts of blood with every heart beat to 60 thousand miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries. That's twice the circumference of planet Earth.  God is bigger than big, more majestic than we imagine. We, like the disciples, can miss the majesty and miracle of Jesus by getting caught up in the ordinary and the man-made box we've put Him in. The blessing is this: Jesus stood on the shore watching the 12 struggle with the force of a head wind. He will allow the storm for the purpose of refining you to see Him more clearly, BUT He will never leave you or forsake you. He is not angry, apathetic, or absent. Mark tells us that Jesus “meant to pass them by,” with intentionality. They needed another miracle to soften their ”hard hearts.” Don't let the mundane or the trials take away the bigness, goodness, and closeness of our Savior. Worship him this Christmas season knowing that He is the same Jesus that created the universe, cast out demons, multiplied five loaves and two fish, parted seas, walked and stilled waters, healed lepers, opened blind eyes, and raised the dead. THIS SEASON, REIMAGINE AND WORSHIP THE GOD WHO IS BIGGER THAN BIG, CLOSER THAN CLOSE, AND GOODER THAN GOOD!

This Sunday we are continued our conversation around repentance and what it really looks like to turn our hearts toward Jesus. Repentance is not about fixating on our sin, it is about fixing our eyes on the One we love. When we turn from sin and turn to Him, we find the freedom, direction, and purpose our hearts long for. There is an invitation to give Him everything and to cut off anything that hinders our love for Jesus. Are we choosing to define our lives by Christ alone? Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton explore Geerhardus Vos's profound treatment of faith in the Gospel of John (pp. 390–392 of Biblical Theology). Vos unfolds faith not as an abstract belief but as a living, continuous union with the incarnate and ascended Truth—Jesus Christ Himself. John's theology binds faith and truth together: the Son comes down from heaven as the true light, true bread, true vine, and the Truth (John 1:9; 6:32; 15:1; 14:6). Faith, therefore, is a Spirit-wrought communion with the heavenly reality revealed in Him. Tipton and Bucey trace how this Johannine vision lifts believers from the shadowy worship of the old covenant to true, eschatological worship "in spirit and in truth." Faith beholds Christ even now, anticipating the beatific vision. In contrast to philosophical or impersonal notions of truth, Vos insists that truth is personal, Trinitarian, and heavenly—rooted in the self-revealing God. Thus, saving faith is not blind trust but an intimate, knowing participation in the life of the risen Christ, a foretaste of the age to come.
