We explore the surprising truths behind the birth of Christ, using Tim Keller's book, Hidden Christmas.

“Mild he lay his GLORY by” Philippians 2:6-8 Matthew 1:18-23 It is easy to OVERLOOK what has become FAMILIAR. v. 19 – It is COSTLY. v. 20-21 – Joseph had courage. Courage to take the world's DISDAIN. People thought that Joseph was FOOLISH. Courage to GIVE UP your right to self-determination. Who is LORD? Courage […]

Hope is the PRESENCE of God in the midst of a dark time. Luke 2:1-12 “I bring you GOOD NEWS that will cause great joy for all the people.” – v. 10 Good News is not good ADVICE. Matthew 1: “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about.” Genesis 12: All the […]

Angels are a predictable feature of Christmas traditions, whether on a card or a tree. But when Jesus was born, the appearance of angels to shepherds in the field was both surprising and terrifying. Perhaps more surprising was that it was to shepherds, who would have been thought of as lowly and insignificant by society, whom God chose to have angels announce the birth of his son first. The good news of Jesus is for all, and the lowly and forgotten are often among the first to receive blessing from God.Support the show

Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 We follow a DARKNESS-INTERRUPTING God. TO us. A CHILD is born. Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace are titles that BELONG to God alone. Isaiah 8:21-22 “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.” The light exposes […]

There isn't a lot that we know about Joseph, the earthly adoptive father of Jesus, but we do know he was 'a just man.' What does Matthew, the gospel writer, mean by that, and what do the other brief details of Joseph's decisions show us about a biblical view of masculinity? In this sermon, Rich Crosby looks at how Joseph's determination to show mercy to Mary points ahead to the mercy shown to us by Jesus.Support the show

Can you believe it's already December?? Our annual Christmas Series will feature a few unorthodox selections, just to keep things spicy. We'll start things with a 90s cult flick that might have slipped under your radar: The Long Kiss Goodnight, starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. This spy action-comedy had top level stars, a premium screenwriter (Shane Black, who created the Lethal Weapon series), a veteran director (Renny Harlin, of Die Hard 2 fame), and yet it was a box office disappointment. Why was that? Has it gained a cult following since then? Most importantly: How is it as a Christmas movie?Find out the answers to all of those and more on this week's CInemavino!

As beautiful as the Christmas story is, we sometimes struggle to see the connection between a story set hundreds of years ago and our realities today. However, the facts surrounding the birth of Jesus, as found in the Biblical gospels, are anything but typical, and some of the details are simply shocking. Matthew's gospel starts with Jesus's family genealogy, which includes flawed men and women including adulterers and prostitutes. The Son of God comes from a broken earthly family; He understands our brokenness.Support the show

Our family shares a fun nickname for Josh Deckard - The Most Interesting Man in the World. And listening today you will get a taste of why we say that. Josh formerly worked in the White House and is now is raising a family of four kids with his wife, Ali. Adoption and having a child with 24/7 medical needs is a part of their story and so is how God intersected his life and changed it forever. This conversation is full of wisdom and encouragement that no matter what you are in the middle of God is there, He's in control and will bring purpose from it. We love the Deckard family and know after today you will too!     "Hidden Christmas" by Tim Keller   "Every Good Endeavor' by Tim Keller   Follow Josh here!   Instagram - @joshdeckard   Twitter - @JSDeckard   See what we are in the middle of!   Instagram @heathersletters @danielpritchie   Twitter @danielritchie   Facebook @danielpritchie   www.danielritchie.org     Don't miss the next episode by SUBSCRIBING and we always appreciate a 5 STAR rating!
