Powerful Message By Pastor Blake Andrews 

It's a Wonderful LifeWeek 3“The Greatest Gift"Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49535528

Gift of Light What if the greatest gift of Christmas isn't under your tree, but hidden in plain sight — in the places you'd least expect? This week we unpack the “Gift of Light” in John 3, where Jesus meets Nicodemus, a religious leader searching for truth in the dark. The contrast is clear: some saw signs and believed, but Jesus knew their faith was shallow. Nicodemus comes with questions, and Jesus gives him the kind of answer that still echoes today — “You must be born again.” From a bronze serpent lifted in the wilderness to the Son of Man lifted on a cross, we discover that the true light doesn't just decorate our lives — it exposes, disrupts, and ultimately transforms. In this episode, we explore how to name the darkness in our lives, take steps toward the light, and reflect it to a world still stumbling in the shadows. John 3:1-21 Discussion topics Read John 3:1–21. What stands out to you in the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus? Why do you think John connects this story directly after the people who “believed” in Jesus for His signs? What is the difference between believing in signs and true faith? (side-note question... Pastor used the phrase unsaved believer; how do you feel about that statement?) What do you think Nicodemus was really looking for when he came to Jesus at night? Have you ever experienced a moment of quiet searching like that? Jesus said people avoid the light because it exposes their deeds. What's something in your life that you've kept in the dark?  What would it look like for you to “step into the light” this week — spiritually, relationally, or emotionally? Think about your daily life — your home, work, or community. Where can you reflect the light of Jesus in a practical way?

Pastor Brent continues our Advent series, The Greatest Gift, by exploring the story of Mary and the gift of God's favor. Through Luke 1, we're reminded that God's favor is an undeserved gift of grace—offered by a God who is for us and still at work in our lives today.

We all say we want a God who brings justice—but usually for other people's sins, not our own. We imagine a God with a gavel, ready to strike down abusers, corrupt leaders, violent people, broken systems, and yes… even the people who've wounded us personally. But the God who comes at Christmas—Jesus—doesn't arrive with a sword in His hand. He comes with mercy. Instead of crushing His enemies, He calls His people to forgive theirs. Instead of withdrawing from the world's mess, He makes His followers salt and light right inside it. In this episode, we explore the surprising, disarming, life-changing justice and mercy of Jesus—and why His way is the greatest gift we could ever receive.

This message takes us deep into the heart of what it means to navigate spiritual roadblocks and seasons of transition. At its core, we're reminded that God keeps His promises—delay is not denial, and time is not our enemy but our preparation ground. Through the powerful story of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14, we discover a profound truth: the faith that gets us out of the boat is the same faith that must sustain us in the storm. The most striking insight? The storm didn't begin until Peter stepped out in faith. This reveals that when we're doing the right thing and everything seems to go wrong, we're likely right in the center of God's will. The message challenges us to stop viewing time as punishment and start seeing it as divine preparation. We're not chasing our future—our future is chasing us. When we put God first in everything, including our finances and obedience, we position ourselves as magnets pulling in everything God has prepared. The Holy Spirit isn't just a helper; He's the breaker of roadblocks, praying with supernatural intercession when we don't even know what to say. This teaching invites us to lean into the uncomfortable seasons, recognizing that God is developing our character for the next dimension He's calling us into. We may feel too big for yesterday but not quite ready for tomorrow—and that's exactly where transformation happens.

12-14-2025 Pastor Tyler Stevison "Life's Greatest Gift" SUN 10AM

This sermon presents a 12-day devotional reflection centered on the incarnation of Jesus Christ, inviting believers to meditate daily on the profound significance of His coming. At its heart, the message emphasizes that Christ's incarnation was not merely a historical event but a divine act of love, revealing God's depth of commitment to humanity through His perfect union of divine and human natures. The preacher highlights key theological truths—Christ's fulfillment of prophecy, His sinless obedience, His embodiment of divine love, His conquest of sin and death, and the establishment of a new covenant—each underscoring how His life, death, and resurrection made salvation possible. Through these reflections, the sermon calls the church to a posture of continual gratitude, not only during the Christmas season but every day, recognizing Jesus as the ultimate gift who bridges the gap between God and humanity, dwells within believers through the Holy Spirit, and secures eternal life. The tone is deeply pastoral and reverent, inviting personal reflection and worship in response to God's inexpressible grace.

Christmas js the season of giving and many know that it is better to give than to receive.  Receiving something - especially a gift we may think we don‘t deserve - can be a lot to take in.  We have to realize that God offers His Only Begotten Son to …us!Listen…

Gift of Life What kind of gift gets passed from one person to another, and what kind of gift is picked just for you? This week at Navigation Church, Pastor David explores The Gift of Life by comparing Adam's White Elephant legacy of sin and death with Jesus' intentional, personal gift of grace and righteousness. Preaching from Romans 5 and Matthew 16, we see how every Old Testament covenant pointed toward a better promise—and how Jesus, standing at the gates of Hades, declared that the realm of death couldn't hold its ground against His advancing Kingdom. If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life—something deeper, more personal, more powerful—this message will challenge and inspire you.  Romans 5 & Matthew 16 Discussion topics What's the best (or worst) White Elephant gift you've ever received? What made it memorable?  What does this passage reveal about the legacy of Adam vs. the gift from Christ? How do you personally relate to the idea that death “reigned” until Jesus came?  How does the comparison between a White Elephant gift and a Secret Santa help you understand the difference between the old covenants and the new covenant in Jesus?  Have you ever felt like you were living under a “White Elephant” mindset spiritually—carrying brokenness or shame not meant for you?  How can you begin to fully receive and walk in the “gift of life” Jesus offers?  What's one way you can be a gift to someone this week—through encouragement, generosity, or prayer?  Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next

Genesis 3. 

Pastor Andy continues our Advent series, The Greatest Gift, by exploring Joseph's story and the “Gift of Purpose” God offers us today. In a world filled with uncertainty and purpose anxiety, this message invites us to see how God still speaks, guides, and calls each of us into a life of meaningful impact.

Most of us love a good rescue story, but what do you do when the ground gives way beneath your life and God doesn't seem to pull you out? This week's teaching explores why Jesus doesn't always remove our hardships—but why He never, ever leaves us buried. From a real Gorge rescue to Job, Esther, Moses, and Mary, we'll see how God meets His people in the struggle, not just after it's over. And in a world full of pressure, pain, and unanswered prayers, this message might be the rescue you didn't know you needed.

This powerful message confronts us with a profound truth: we've been given the greatest gift imaginable—the Holy Spirit—yet how often do we leave it unopened, unused, sitting in the drawer of our spiritual lives? Drawing from Malachi's challenging words about returning to God and Luke's promise about the Father giving the Holy Spirit to those who ask, we're invited to examine our relationship with this divine Helper. The sermon walks us through those uncomfortable seasons we all face—the fork-in-the-road moments where our momentum slows, our prayers feel unanswered, and our faith seems stuck. These aren't signs of abandonment but rather invitations to transition into greater dimensions of God's purpose. Romans 8 becomes our roadmap, revealing how the Holy Spirit 'super intercedes' for us when we don't even know what to pray, pleading our case with groans too deep for words. The message challenges us to stop navigating life in our own wisdom and instead lean into the GPS system God placed within us. Ultimately, we're called to spend time with the Gift, to pray in the Spirit, to trust the unseen realm of hope, and to recognize that every test we face has been filtered by God to ensure we can bear it—and overcome it victoriously. We pray this message blesses you and gives you the strength you need to do and be all that God has called you to do and be!

Everyone remembers a gift that left a lasting mark—something so meaningful that the moment surrounding it fades, but the gift itself stays vivid. Keneesha Saunders-Liddie opens with a childhood memory: a pair of beloved boots, cherished and unforgettable. But no gift compares to the one God gave the world on Christmas: the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ dwelling among us. John 1:14 reminds us that God’s greatest gift was not wrapped in paper but in humanity. Jesus entered a world that would reject Him, suffer deeply, and ultimately die for those He came to save. This is the heart of Christmas—God Himself choosing to step into our brokenness. Why this gift matters: Jesus came with unfailing love and faithfulness. He left His heavenly glory to dwell among us. He offered salvation when we were helpless and without hope. He is the gift we didn’t earn, couldn’t repay, and absolutely needed. Christmas can easily become filled with material expectations, pressures, and comparisons. But gratitude shifts our focus. Gratitude reminds us that while earthly gifts fade, the gift of Jesus is eternal. As you look around your home this Christmas—whether the season feels full or humble—remember that the greatest gift has already been given. Jesus came. Jesus rescued. Jesus stayed. And Jesus still saves. Bible Reading:“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14 Main Takeaways Gratitude should define our lives because Christ defined love through His coming. Jesus is God’s greatest gift—given with purpose, sacrifice, and unending love. True worship flows from remembering what His arrival cost and what it accomplished. No earthly gift can compare to the salvation, hope, and presence we have in Christ. Let’s Pray Dear Lord, I’m so thankful for the greatest gift You have ever given—the gift of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You for thinking of me before I even knew how desperately I needed hope. What an incredible gift from a God whose love is limitless and whose generosity never fails. Help me not only to speak words of gratitude but to live a life that reflects it—through obedience, service, and a heart centered on You. Cleanse me from any sin that keeps me from fully treasuring what You’ve done. Renew a right spirit within me and help me to walk in gratitude daily. Thank You for Jesus, for His coming, His sacrifice, and the salvation He secured for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
