Some seasons feel beautiful. Others feel brutal.The hardest part is realizing you can't fast-forward your life.In Ecclesiastes 3, Solomon reminds us there is a time for everything—and God is not absent in the waiting, the loss, the change, or the unknown. In this message from A Wild, Messy, Beautiful Life, we talk about learning how to live where you are, trust God with your timing, and believe that He really can “make everything beautiful in its time.”If you're in a season you didn't choose… this sermon is for you.1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;8 a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.Ecclesiastes 3:1-13We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

Advent is a season of waiting, longing, and hope. In this Advent series, we slow down and tell the truth about the world as it is, fractured, weary, and aching for peace, while holding onto the deeper promise of the world God is bringing into being. Walking through key passages from Isaiah and the story of Jesus, these messages explore what it means to trust God's presence when it feels hidden, to hope when circumstances feel broken, and to believe that God is still at work even when renewal seems impossible. Advent reminds us that God does not wait for ideal conditions to act. He comes near, enters the ache we live with, and grows peace in places that look too broken to restore.

The book of Acts tells the story of how the risen Jesus continues His work through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon series, Grace Hill Church walks through Acts to explore how God shapes ordinary people for an extraordinary mission, forming a Spirit-filled community marked by courage, generosity, justice, and hope. Each message invites listeners to see themselves in the story: called, empowered, and sent into the world to live for God's kingdom. Whether you are curious about faith, returning to church, or seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture, these teachings offer a thoughtful, honest, and gospel-centered look at what it means to follow Jesus in real life.

Ever faced a moment when you knew the right thing to do, but also knew it would cost you something? This message explores that tension through the story of Nehemiah, a man whose life was comfortable, influential, and secure until he heard a report that broke his heart. From a place of distance and safety, Nehemiah chose to say yes to God's call to step into brokenness he did not create, taking responsibility rather than deflecting it. His yes pulled him out of comfort and into a story much larger than himself. As the story unfolds, we see how Nehemiah's obedience cost him his comfort, his career, and his sense of control. He leaves the security of the Persian palace, risks his position with the king, and steps into uncertainty without guarantees of success. Like Dietrich Bonhoeffer decades later, Nehemiah models a faith that refuses to stay safe when faithfulness requires courage. This is not reckless obedience, but prayer-soaked trust that chooses faithfulness over self-preservation. For most of us, a costly yes won't involve rebuilding a city wall or confronting an empire. It will show up in ordinary places: relationships, work decisions, acts of service, or steps of faith we've been delaying. This message invites us to pray long enough to gain clarity, then place the outcome in God's hands. Because clarity doesn't always come all at once, and certainty rarely comes before obedience. Sometimes your yes is costly. Say yes anyway—because every costly yes we give flows from the costly yes Jesus already gave.

In this episode of the To Be the Church Podcast, we respond to a thoughtful listener question: How do churches determine salary ranges when hiring staff? Unlike many industries with clear deliverables and sales metrics, church roles often rely on “soft skills” like discipleship, leadership development, and spiritual care.

Ecclesiastes 2 gives language to what many of us feel but rarely say out loud: You can have everything you wanted and still feel unsatisfied.In this message from A Wild, Messy, Beautiful Life, we look at Solomon's honest search for meaning—and discover why joy was never meant to be found in achievement alone.In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon runs the experiment we're all living—pleasure, achievement, and nonstop effort—and calls it what it is: a chasing after the wind.Ecclesiastes 21 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?” 3 I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life. 4 I made great works. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself. 5 I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees. 6 I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees. 7 I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem. 8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, the delight of the sons of man.9 So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. 10 And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil. 11 Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun...24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, Ix saw, is from the hand of God, 25 for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

Merry Christmas!In this heartfelt Christmas Eve service message, Pastor Karl explores the profound truth that Christmas is far more than a baby in a manger—it's the culmination of God's everlasting love story that began in the Garden of Eden.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl unpacks how God's love has always been revealed through three key ways: proximity (drawing near to walk with us), provision (supplying what we cannot provide for ourselves, including forgiveness and eternal life), and parameters (loving boundaries for our protection and flourishing).Yet humanity's response—from Adam and Eve to today—has often been to doubt God's goodness, reject His nearness, and step outside His guardrails. Even so, God's relentless love pursues us, covers our shame, and satisfies His justice through the promised Seed: Jesus Christ, whose virgin birth and sacrificial death crush the enemy's power.Pastor Karl challenges us: Many love the warm vibe of Christmas but avoid its weighty claims. True celebration means embracing God's love fully—belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving our lives in response, and going on mission to share His love.This message invites everyone to respond to God's pursuit, whether by placing faith in Jesus for the first time or recommitting to live in joyful obedience within His loving parameters.Join us as Pastor Karl and his son Caleb dive deeper into these truths in a special family message. Come experience the depth of God's love that didn't begin in Bethlehem—but was gloriously fulfilled there.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Central to the Christmas Story is the arrival of the Munus Triplex, a theological term referring to Jesus's three roles: The Prophet who reveals, The Priest who reconciles, King who reigns. Having this view of Jesus changes everything for how we see the Christmas Story.In this sermon, Pastor Joe Baker unpacks the compassion, love, shepherd Heard of our Holy Priest forever -- Jesus. Not only is Jesus our great high priest who is able to care for our hearts in a way only He can, he calls us to be His priests here on Earth to usher in His Kingdom and dominion.

There is this enthrall and intrigue in our culture with royalty. Show after show, movie after movie is made to satisfy our fascination with kings.There is a longing in the human heart for a king.We search high and low to crown some one or some thing king over our life but the problem is that often we pick the wrong one.Only Jesus, will be a true King that will satisfy every desire of your heart and lead you into life everlasting in this life and the next. 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.8 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”(which means, God with us).

Nick and Lindsey sat down with CEO of Mission Lexington, Amy Reeves, to talk about how this year's Miracle Offering will be used to serve our neighbors in the coming year. 

This year at Advent, we're looking at the arrival of what the theologians call the munis triplex -- the long awaited, highly anticipated, eagerly longed for prophet, priest and King.In this season. I want for you to see that Jesus, the prophet, priest, and king, makes the whole of scripture and life clear. He is what you've been waiting for and didn't even know you're waiting for. Core to discipleship to Jesus is to begin to see Him not just as 6 pound, nine ounce baby Jesus in the manger. But for you to see him as the Prophet who reveals, the priest who reconciles, and the king who reigns.

[This episode originally aired on Mental Health and Mission of the Church Podcast w/ Chip Judd.  You can subscribe to his YouTube Channel here, where you will find a video version of this conversation]Hey, Seacoast.You're about to meet Lauren, the woman whose decision changed my life forever.After 8 years of battling lung disease, I was running out of breath—literally. I was nearing the end of what my body could handle. Then came the call: “We have a match.”.”Those lungs belonged to PJ, Lauren's husband.He had died by suicide. And in the middle of her heartbreak, Lauren made an unthinkably selfless choice to give others life through her husband's passing.In this conversation, Lauren and I sit down to talk about what came next: how you rebuild after loss, how faith holds when everything falls apart, and what it really means to find hope in the darkest places.It's raw. It's redemptive. And it's real. If you've ever faced grief, struggled with mental health, or wondered where God is in the middle of tragedy, you'll likely connect deeply to this one.  -- Pastor Chip JuddWe have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

In Week 13 of our Everyday Mission series, we explore how God often calls us into moments that stretch our faith further than is comfortable. Acts 9:1–31 shows us a powerful picture of what it looks like to trust God beyond our limits — both in Saul's dramatic transformation and in Ananias' willingness to obey even when the path seemed risky. This episode invites you to consider where God may be asking you to step out, depend on Him, and participate in His mission in ways you never imagined.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Advent 2025-“Trust Me” Snow Day Message by St. John's Church Podcast

Young people are not just the Church of tomorrow, they are the Church of Today.In today's message, Pastor Joey McLaughlin preaches about the importance of the "now generation" -- how young people are not just the next generation of Church leaders and disciples, but now. Jesus used 11 young men to flip the world upside down, scripture after scripture tell of young people who were available and said yes and changed the world. If we are going to be a people that radically runs after the great commission, then we must equip this generation and the next to pursue the fulfillment of discipleship here and now.

Our church is the kind of community whose aim is to see it in Atlanta as it is in Heaven.So what does that mean? How? How are we going to get heaven here and now?Ipon a thorough examination of the scriptures, that ideology does not seem to be the main message of Jesus. It does not seem to be the vision of the Bible.More than Jesus wants to get us to heaven He wants to get heaven into us.God wants to re-colonize Earth. He wants to reclaim Earth, redeem Earth, renew Earth, restore Earth with the kingdom of Heaven. What Jesus talked about most, what he talked about more than anything else, more than he talked about salvation, He talked about this thing called the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God.We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

 "The Joy of the Lord, Part 11: A New Life;" Acts 7:54-8:4, 9:17-22

For most people in Christian circles, "discipleship" becomes a junk drawer word that is used to describe almost anything that happens in the Christian life, or going deeper in Christian education, or just doing life together.So what really is discipleship? What does it mean to be a disciple, who makes disciples?"What I want to show you today that will hopefully blow up all of your modern, conventional understandings of discipleship and put discipleship right back where Jesus put it -- which is in the hands of everyday people."Pastor Joey McLaughlin[17] From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[18] While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. [19] And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” [20] Immediately they left their nets and followed him. [21] And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. [22] Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. Matthew 4:17–22 (ESV)The Great Commission[16] Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. [17] And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. [18] And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:16–20 (ESV)We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

Send us a textSome stories don't fade; they get reclaimed. We sit down with Earl and Angie for a deeply honest journey through trauma, addiction, and the kind of recovery that stands up in the real world—courtrooms, crowded rooms, and late-night panic alike. Their message is simple and strong: addiction is an outward symptom of an inward wound, and freedom begins when you stop reacting, start responding, and let a real community walk with you.Angie shares how meth offered a counterfeit peace that silenced the noise of unspoken abuse—until a faith-based recovery program, therapy, and character work gave her a new voice and a sealed record. Earl opens up about coping with pain through alcohol and the moment he traded performance for peace. Together, they teach practical tools you can use today: breathing and grounding for anxiety, identifying triggers, replacing reaction with response, and changing the language you use about your life. We also explore why the opposite of addiction is community, why vulnerability beats isolation, and how boundaries can love people better than enabling ever could.For church leaders and volunteers, we get specific about what real help looks like: ask better questions, stock Narcan, set clear boundaries, create safe spaces, and build referral pathways to programs, housing, and jobs. For anyone in the fight, you'll hear a repeatable plan: ID your triggers, choose your response, change your environment, and keep showing up. We also talk legacy—how reclamation means recovering what past generations missed and passing on peace, not chaos, to the people coming after us.If you found value in this conversation, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope today. Your next brave step could be the one that changes everything.Connect with Reclamation Ministryhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091631232043Support the show

We are people of the Book.Our understanding of God, life, sex, truth, family, philosophy, politics, marriage, and humanity is not shaped primarily by experience, tradition, popular opinion, culture, or what we're comfortable with. Our understanding of God is shaped first and foremost by the word of God. It is our first source, final authority, the greatest love story ever written, and we really believe it's true. We are people of a book not just because of the evidence and reliability of the scriptures, the reason that we are people of a book, ultimately, is because Jesus was a person of the book. Some people today invent this form of Christianity where they're really into Jesus, but not so into the Bible. "I love Jesus, I love self-help Jesus, I love justice Jesus, I love humanitarian Jesus, I love empowering Jesus, I love forgiving Jesus. I love hippie Jesus, but not really into the Bible." This is a big problem because Jesus was all about the Bible! 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased,” 18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.2 Peter 1:16-21We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

I wonder what's your definition for eternal life? How would you define it? What is it? This is a question that is fascinated and captivated human since the very beginning of time.Jesus defines eternal life in John 17:3, "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."Eternal life is not just a destination, it starts with an introduction -- When you come to know the one true God and Jesus Christ, whom he sent. Eternal life is so much more than many of our 21st century abstractions and conceptions have made it out to be. You see, we've even turned eternal life into a prayer that we pray so that we can go to heaven when we die.Jesus flips the script and defines that eternal life is available now. Eternal life is available today. Eternal life is available in the present. The life of the age to come is available right here and now. You see, so many of us were sold a bill of goods that were Christianity was designed to do was it was designed to rescue you so that you didn't have to go to this place called hell when you died. This means that the first and foremost and primary pursuit of any church, and every person and every pastor and every sermon should be for you to know the only true God.
