Send us a textAfter Sabbath School quiz time, DeeDee gets invited to a fall festival—but it's the same night her family collects canned food for people in need. Mom and Dad let her choose. DeeDee prays, remembers the lesson about doing what Jesus wants, and decides to serve. House after house, some doors open and some don't—until a nearly dark home reveals a family with no food at all. DeeDee insists they help, and she and Mom return with groceries. That night she realizes following Jesus to help others was “the most fun ever,” and a clear “Jesus footprint” she can't wait to share. Talk about it:What hard choice did DeeDee face, and how did she decide?Why was knocking on the almost-dark house important?When have you sensed a “Jesus footprint” guiding you to help someone?What's one way your family can serve a neighbor this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Family Service December 28th, 2025. Come out, Come out, Wherever You Are by Pastor Tim Mahan

Merry Christmas, Packinghouse! This Service includes rippin worship, a concert from the Altar Billies and our children's Christmas choir, and a message from Pastor Ed about the good news of Luke 2—Jesus, the Savior, has come. In this message, we walk through the shepherds' story and why it matters that God chose ordinary, overlooked people to be the first to hear the announcement of Christ's birth, reminding us that the gospel is for everyone. We also reflect on the peace Jesus brings—peace with God and the peace of God in our hearts—and the simple truth that we can't save ourselves. As we close with candlelight worship, our prayer is that every person listening would know the joy and hope found in a personal relationship with Jesus. - Ed Rea - Wednesday, December 24, 2025

Sunday Morning Service from December 21st. Merry Christmas!

Pastor Luke's message encourages us to embrace a daring faith in 2026 by living wholeheartedly for God, akin to the biblical figure Caleb, and challenges us to care, declare God's promises, and be aware of where God is leading us. It emphasizes the importance of trusting in God, sharing the gospel, and living a life worthy of our calling.

Packinghouse's Wednesday night worship service from November 26, 2025. Psalm 67 asks God to bless us and shine His face on us so that His ways and salvation are known to all nations. As we receive mercy, we're sent to share it—“let all the peoples praise You”—because real worship is gratitude, obedience, and trust in His righteous rule. When thankfulness rises, fruitfulness follows: God blesses, the earth yields its increase, and His blessing flows through us to the ends of the earth. - Ed Rea - Wednesday, November 26, 2025

This weekend at our Family Service, we looked at the story Paul tells in 2 Timothy 1:5 about how faith first took root in Timothy through his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice. Their home wasn't perfect or put-together; Acts 16:1 shows us that Timothy's dad wasn't a believer, and the family was divided in their faith. But God has never been limited by messy families! He loves to make something beautiful out of places that feel broken. Paul then gives us three pictures of wholehearted discipleship: a soldier who stays focused on the One who enlisted him, an athlete who trains with intention, and a farmer who works faithfully even when growth is slow. Does my life compel my children—and anyone watching—to follow Jesus? May we be a church full of steady, wholehearted disciples.You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10;30am CST every Sunday morning.

Today we'll be discussing why Thanksgiving leftovers are good, but how God doesn't want us to live on leftovers. He wants us to meet with, and depend on, Him ever day.

Marie-Therese shares a message on the importance of our words during today's Family Service.

Preached at The Family Service , The Qodesh, Accra. 02 November 2025.

Preached at The Family Service , The Qodesh, Accra. 02 November 2025.

In this episode of Voices of Otolaryngology, host Rahul K. Shah, MD, MBA, AAO-HNS/F EVP and CEO, sits down with brothers Michael Setzen, MD, and Gavin Setzen, MD, two private practice otolaryngologists who have shaped the specialty through decades of leadership and advocacy. Both Hall of Distinction Living Legends, the Setzen brothers share their journey from South Africa to building world-renowned practices in New York. Dr. Michael Setzen reveals an unconventional approach to work-life balance: never working Fridays and dedicating that time to golf, family, and Academy service. Dr. Gavin Setzen reflects on following his brother's footsteps into otolaryngology and the immigrant work ethic that drove both to become leaders in the Academy, American Rhinologic Society, and state societies—all while prioritizing wellness before it became a buzzword. The conversation explores how they built successful practices from scratch, knowing nobody when they started, and why they invested in Academy involvement from day one. The episode takes a special turn when Dr. Gavin Setzen's son, Sean Setzen, a PGY-1 ENT resident, joins as the podcast's first-ever guest host, sharing his optimism about the specialty's future and continuing the family legacy of otolaryngology leadership.

Five Sermons in Five Minutes Each // Family Service by HungryGen

What we call Jesus reveals how we see Him—and how we see Him shapes everything. In this special family service, Pastor Warren opens with a fun moment with the kids, then leads us into the most important question Jesus ever asked: “But who do you say that I am?” Some called Him a carpenter. Some, a good teacher. Some, a prophet. But none of those were enough. Pastor Warren walks through Scripture to show how people saw Jesus—and how Jesus sees us. God doesn't just call us servants. He calls us Children. He calls us Friends. He calls us More Than Conquerors. This message reminds us that identity is mutual. What you believe about Jesus determines how you live. And what He calls you? Changes everything.

What does it look like have an every day, Monday morning kind of faith- a faith that is alive and living on Tuesday and Wednesday as much as it is on Sundays? That is the kind of faith we are after! Join us for this special family service where Pastor Kyle and Taran are going to model what a family devotion looks like around their house as we discuss what real faith looks like throughout the week. PRAYERText FATHOM to 97000 if you would like a member of our prayer team to pray with or for you.NEXT STEPSAre you ready to learn more about what it means to walk with Christ, get baptized, or get connected within the church body?
