During last week's message, Pastor Marcus explored the mystery of the incarnation through "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." For the final week of our Christmas series, we consider the longed-for peace that goes deeper than just a temporary cease-fire. In the midst of Christmas chaos, Pastor Marcus shares a powerful story from World War I, where enemies laid down their weapons to sing "Silent Night" together—a glimpse of heaven's true peace. Drawing on Isaiah's prophecy, he reveals that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers more than merely an absence of conflict. He brings "shalom"—complete restoration and wholeness—to our broken relationships and weary souls. Ready to experience this transformative peace for yourself? Don't miss this timely message that could change how you experience not just Christmas, but every day of your life.

Explore 7 ancient Biblical prophecies that foretold the birth of Jesus Christ in astonishing detail. The Christmas story was not a random moment in history, but a carefully planned rescue mission revealed centuries in advance through the prophets of Israel and fulfilled with stunninging precision.  This teaching walks through key Messianic prophecies from Isaiah, Micah, Genesis, and the Gospels, showing how Jesus was born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, called Immanuel, descended from Abraham, announced by a herald, and ultimately despised and rejected—exactly as Scripture foretold. These fulfilled prophecies provide powerful historical and biblical evidence that Jesus is the promised Saviour and that the Christmas story is grounded in truth. Musically backed by timeless Christmas carols such as O Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night, O Come O Come Emmanuel, and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, this episode invites reflection on the true meaning of Christmas. #christmasstory  #JesusChrist #BibleProphecy #fulfilledprophecy  #birthofjesus  #tchristmas  Illustrated Bible based lessons through the lens of God's eternal love for humanity and His desire to reconcile all things to Himself.

4th Sunday of AdventScripture Lesson: John 1:4-9

Listen up, because there's good news to be heard!

Classic Christmas songs point us back to the Old Testament's expectations of Jesus: "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing," "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming," or "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus." Let's not ignore the foundation of God's promises that Jesus came to stand on! With Matthew's Gospel, the Bible introduces Jesus as the long-awaited, much-anticipated Fulfiller of God's promises. We're excited for you to join us this Sunday as we look to Jesus together in Matthew 1:1-17.

Exploring the urgency behind the Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," this message uses the acronym HARK to break down the arrival of divine nature into a fallen world. Pastor Colin challenges listeners to move beyond passive hearing and offer a required response of worship, surrender, and active faith.

Send us a textLaura Branigan & Christmas: A Powerful Holiday VoiceIn this episode, we delve into a lesser-known yet profoundly moving aspect of Laura Branigan's artistry. While Laura is widely recognized for her iconic '80s hits like “Gloria” and “Self Control,” her holiday recordings unveil a more intimate, reverent, and emotionally resonant vocalist.Laura's seasonal performances, though never released as a full commercial Christmas album, have become cherished by her fans and a treasure trove for those who discover her extraordinary talent. Her performances are filled with vocal purity, spiritual depth, and classic holiday warmth.

Last week, Pastor Marcus encouraged us to both ponder (think intellectually) and treasure (engage emotionally) the coming of Christ. In this weeks message, Pastor Marcus unpacks the mystery of the incarnation through Charles Wesley's beloved hymn "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Drawing from John 1, he reveals how Jesus—the living Word—stepped into our story not just to save us, but to make himself knowable. Through vivid examples from C.S. Lewis to Dorothy Sayers, Pastor Marcus answers the question, "what difference does the incarnation of God make?" By displaying God's choice to dwell among us transforms our understanding of suffering and offers unprecedented comfort.

3rd Sunday of AdventScripture Lesson: John 1:1-3, 14

Inspired by the angels' appearance to the shepherds in Luke 2, Charles Wesley composed this hymn about the Savior King. We zoom in on this hymn with one important question in mind: How does it help us see Jesus?

In this sermon we look at Luke 2 and talk about the historical event of the birth of Jesus, the event that redefines all history; past, present and future.For more teaching, visit citizenscharlotte.com/teaching

Caregiving is relentless. The needs don't pause, the stress doesn't politely wait, and the temptation to put ourselves last feels almost virtuous. But in this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I push back on a lie many of us live with: that our health is expendable. Joined by my longtime friend and health coach Dale Richardson, we talk candidly about weight, stress eating, and the quiet ways caregivers drift into unhealthy patterns, especially during the holidays. This isn't about shame, gimmicks, or willpower. It's about intentionality. I share my own journey, losing weight, gaining it back during months in the hospital with Gracie, and then recommitting again, not out of vanity, but out of necessity. I'm no good to my wife if I'm fat, broken, and miserable. That hard truth drives everything. Dale helps reframe food not as comfort, reward, or failure, but as fuel. Emotional eating isn't a moral flaw. It's often a stress response. The question isn't "Why am I weak?" but "What am I carrying?" Caregivers already know the answer. We talk about simple, sustainable choices: • Eating with a plan, especially at holidays • Understanding portions without demonizing food • Why "starting over Monday" keeps us stuck • The value of accountability that doesn't condemn • Staying active in real life, not just gyms and step counters We also explore why community matters. Lone-ranger caregiving is dangerous. Having someone who understands the weight you carry, and walks with you toward healthier choices, can change everything. The episode closes with a reminder grounded in Advent hope and the hymn Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. Christ did not come for people who had it together. He came for the weary, the burdened, and the broken. That includes caregivers. You don't accidentally get healthy. But with intention, support, and grace, you can move toward strength, not just for yourself, but for those who depend on you. Healthy caregivers make better caregivers. Your future self, and your loved one, will thank you. The 2026 Caregiver Calendar is now available! Click for more information!

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? It's a story that starts at the beginning of time. In this episode of Jesus Stories, we tell the entire story of Christmas. What happened in the beginning which created the need for Jesus to come to earth? How did that happen? (Yes, the familiar story you've heard all your life, maybe!) What does it mean for you and me today? How does Jesus brings us new life, reconciliation, and salvation? Without this coming we would still be looking for those life-giving attributes.

Jesus didn’t just come to teach us or inspire us; He came to reconcile us to God. In this Advent episode, Nicole explores Hark! The Herald Angels Sing—one of the most beloved Christmas hymns—and reveals how richly it is woven with Scripture. With more than 34 direct biblical references, Charles Wesley’s hymn is far more than a seasonal melody; it is a sweeping declaration of the Gospel. Nicole walks listeners through the incarnation, reconciliation, new birth, and the cosmic hope that Jesus brings. From Luke 2’s angelic announcement to Romans 5’s explanation of reconciliation, this episode unpacks why this hymn is actually a lyrical theology lesson celebrating Christ’s mission to redeem humanity. Main Takeaways: Why this Christmas hymn is actually a full retelling of the Gospel message How Luke 2 connects to the angels’ proclamation of peace and joy What “God and sinners reconciled” truly means according to Romans 5 The significance of Christ “laying His glory by” and becoming fully God and fully man Why being “born again” is the heart of the Christmas message How Jesus brings spiritual life that cannot die—even when our physical bodies do

Have you ever sung a Christmas song for years only to realize you didn't actually know what it meant? This message dives into “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and Philippians 2 to uncover the wonder behind the words and how knowing them can lead us to worship Jesus, our humble King.

We continue our Advent Series as Tique begins the Conversation looking at the theme of Peace through the lens of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and Luke 2:8-12.

This second week of Advent draws our attention to the hymn "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," as heaven announces the arrival of the long-awaited Seed of the Woman. God has come near—born to live with us that we might live with Him. What we desire most is not found in circumstance or possession, but in the person of Christ. He Himself is our treasure—our portion forever.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through Psalm 147:1–20 with a special focus on the Christmas season. We talked about the hymn “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” and how it echoes the heart of Psalm 147. The angels announced the arrival of Jesus the One who brings peace, restores what is broken, and reveals God's glory in the most unexpected way. Just as the psalm calls us to praise the Lord for His power and tenderness, Christmas invites us to lift our voices in worship for the Savior who came near.Text: Psalm 147:1–20Recorded: December 7, 2025

During Advent, the Church slows down to remember and rejoice in the coming of Christ —  both His first coming in Bethlehem and His promised return in glory. For centuries, the Church has sung the story of Jesus through hymns that carry deep theology and rich worship. In this series, we will explore four beloved Christmas hymns, discovering how each one proclaims a different facet of the gospel story. Our prayer is that this series (and these songs) will help us to see the wonder of Christ who brings hope, peace, joy, and love. 

Christmas carols are, likely, some of the earliest songs most Americans learn, and at the same time, are probably among the earliest music still performed in popular American culture. Many of the familiar songs of the season date back hundreds of years, and the origins and lyrics of the songs have been lost or changed over time. We sing along every year, tapping into those familiar nostalgic feelings. But do we really know where these festive songs came from, or what they're actually about? Gather ye kith and kin around the hearth – or the modern equivalent, the Bluetooth speaker – as the Great Pop Culture Debate explores the history of holiday staples and attempts to name the Best Traditional Christmas Carol.Songs discussed: “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “O Tannenbaum/O Christmas Tree,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “Away in a Manger,” “Carol of the Bells,” “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” “Here We Come A-Wassailing,” “Jingle Bells,” “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” “Joy to the World”Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Trey Radu-Blackburn and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 of the most recognizable holiday carols of all time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1st Sunday of AdventScripture Lesson: 2 Corinthians 5:17-22

It's Festive Friday, and for this episode we were joined by Alonso to dig into a holiday movie that is absolutely insane.ABOUT CIVIL CHRISTMASDuring the Civil War, a wounded Union soldier falls in love with a Southern woman while taking refuge in her cabin on Christmas Eve.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR CIVIL CHRISTMASJuly 2, 2024 | VODCAST & CREW OF CIVIL CHRISTMASSophie Bolen as Aura-LeeKyle Patrick Douglas as DouglasAndrew Dawe-Collins as Grandpa CharlieBRAN'S CIVIL CHRISTMAS SYNOPSISWe're dropped into the Civil War as I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day plays.Cut to this woman in her cabin. She hears a sound outside and thinks it's her grandpa. She runs out and, for some reason, bursts into Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Then she goes back in and sings a song that—honestly—makes it sound like she's in love with her grandpa. I don't know.There's a knock at the door. She grabs her gun and finds a wounded Yankee outside. Even though helping him could get her in trouble, she brings him in and stitches him up. He falls asleep, wakes up, and hears her sing O Holy Night—after which he just casually mumbles that he loves her.They eat and sing Up on the Housetop together, which somehow inspires her to decorate for Christmas. There's something off about this guy, but I can't quite place it. Then he recites A Visit from St. Nicholas and asks her to sing again, so they do The First Noel.That's when he breaks the news: her grandpa isn't coming home. He says they spent hours together by a fire, had a heart-to-heart, grandpa wrote a poem to God…and then died. To cope, she sings Silent Night. Naturally.They have a quick “nuanced” conversation about slavery and then immediately slide into What Child Is This. She says goodnight, and that's when he drops the bomb: he actually killed her grandpa after grandpa shot him in the back. Oh, and by the way, they knew each other as kids and were first loves. He gives her another letter from grandpa, and they cap it all off by singing a slow version of Jingle Bells.He proposes, she says yes, and they celebrate on the porch. Then—plot twist—it turns out they're in one of Krampus' snow globes, and suddenly everything makes sense.
