✨ A Priest. A King. A Mystery. ✨ Most Christians know about David the king… Aaron the priest… and Abraham the patriarch. But tucked inside Psalm 110 is one of the Bible's greatest mysteries—one that unlocks why Jesus had to come, who He really is, and how He brings hope right into the middle of our deepest struggles. This year we're using the idea of the Jesse Tree to walk through Advent. It's an old way of tracing the family line of Jesus through the Old Testament to show how everything in the OT is pointing forward to the arrival of Jesus. Today we're diving into a wild, prophetic Psalm that reveals a Messiah unlike anything Israel ever expected. A better Priest and a better King, one who conquers evil without and cleanses the evil within. And yes… we're even talking about Melchizedek.
The ladder ornament leads Tory and TJ into Jacob's dream from Genesis 28—a stairway reaching from earth to heaven. Jesus later tells us that He is the way to God. Where sin separates us, Jesus restores us. Through the Jesse Tree, we're seeing how every story points to Jesus. Today reminds us that God came down to us so that we could be brought back to Him forever.Follow Us:Instagram | Website | Newsletter Editing and support by The Good Podcast Co.

Today's star ornament helps Tory and TJ remember God's big promise to Abraham. In Genesis 12 and 15, God showed Abraham the night sky and promised that his family would one day be more numerous than the stars.

The Jesse Tree keeps showing us that God always keeps His promises. Every star reminds us that Jesus is God's greatest promise kept.Follow Us:Instagram | Website | Newsletter Editing and support by The Good Podcast Co. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mr. Truman joins Tiny Theologians for Day 3 of the Jesse Tree to tell one of the Bible's most unforgettable stories—Noah and the flood. With the olive-branch ornament in hand, he walks through Genesis 6–9 and shows how, even as sin filled the world, God preserved one man who walked with Him. God protected Noah and his family inside the ark during the great storm, and when the waters began to recede, a dove returned with a fresh olive branch—signaling new life and a new beginning. God then made a covenant never again to destroy the earth with a flood, setting a rainbow in the sky as a sign of His promise. The ark points us to Jesus—the true and better ark—who rescues us from judgment and brings us safely through the waters of sin and death. And the olive branch reminds us that Jesus gives us lasting peace with God.All season long, we're walking through the Jesse Tree—25 days of tracing the big story of the Bible from Creation to the birth of Jesus. Each day, we'll look at a new “Christ type” in Scripture, hang a new ornament, and see how every part of God's Word points us to Jesus.

Tory and TJ continue the Advent journey by looking at one of the saddest moments in God's big story—the Fall. With the apple ornament in hand, they explore Genesis 3 and learn how sin first entered the world when Adam and Eve chose their own way instead of God's way. But even in the middle of their disobedience, God made a promise: Someone would come to defeat the serpent and rescue His people. That Someone is Jesus—the true and better Adam—who would obey perfectly, resist temptation, and bring life where Adam brought death. The Fall isn't the end of the story; it's the beginning of God's great rescue plan.All season long, we're walking through the Jesse Tree—25 days of tracing the big story of the Bible from Creation to the birth of Jesus.

From the Fields to the Throne - David's story is a powerful reminder that even though he became Israel's greatest king, he was never meant to be the ultimate King. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, David defeated the EVIL WITHOUT—standing boldly before Goliath and the Philistines. But years later, on a quiet rooftop in Jerusalem, he was confronted by the EVIL WITHIN—the internal enemies of pride, lust, and self-reliance. As “a man after God's own heart,” David's victories and failures reveal three truths we desperately need today: 1. When David relied on the Holy Spirit, he could defeat both the EVIL WITHOUT and the EVIL WITHIN. When he didn't, he fell hard. 2. Despite deep failure, David always returned to God through confession and repentance - And you can too! 3. God's promises never fail. His promise to send a King through David's line was fulfilled in Jesus—the true Shepherd King who conquers sin and evil forever.

Is your sin REALLY that serious? And why does the Old Testament talk so much about animal sacrifices—were they really necessary? In our Jesse Tree Advent series, where we uncover how every story points to Jesus, we're digging into one of the most important (and strangest) holidays in the Bible: Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. We'll unpack the raw reality of sin and death, and then reveal the incredible, world-changing good news: Jesus isn't just a covering for sin; He is the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice. Discover how His work on the cross tears the veil, gives you direct access to God, and means you can finally stop striving and rest in His finished work. In this message we discover: Why God's presence was both good and dangerous Why sacrifices were necessary—and what they taught God's people The powerful symbolism of the two goats What is a scapegoat? How Jesus became both our Great High Priest and our perfect sacrifice Why the tearing of the temple curtain changes everything for you today Why you can stop striving… and rest in Christ's finished work If you've wrestled with guilt, shame, or feeling distant from God, if you've ever worried you're ‘not enough'this message will breathe fresh hope into your soul.

Long before Bethlehem. Long before the manger. Long before a cross was ever lifted on a hill, God was already revealing Jesus. In today's Advent message we dig into one of the most powerful foreshadowings of Christ in the entire Old Testament. From God's call to Abraham, to the faith test on Mount Moriah, to the breathtaking moment when “the angel of the Lord” (the pre-incarnate Christ!) speaks from heaven—this story prepares our hearts to see Jesus in a whole new way. This sermon walks through: How Abraham's life foreshadows Jesus's coming and sacrifice The remarkable story of Isaac carrying wood up a mountain (2,000 years before Jesus did the same) How Christophanies (pre-incarnate Christ appearances) reveal Jesus in the Old Testament Why this ancient story matters for your faith TODAY How God's promises extend to you if you've placed your faith in Jesus As continue through The Jesse Tree this Advent season, we trace the family line of Jesus back to its roots—and discover that God's PROMISES, His FAITHFULNESS, and His PROVISION have been pointing to Christ from the very beginning. The Old Testament isn't just ancient history—it's a love letter revealing Jesus. If you need a reminder that God is still at work in your life even when you've messed up, this message will encourage your heart. Abraham's failures didn't disqualify him from God's blessing and neither do yours. God Loves YOU. Where are you seeing Jesus at work in your life this week? Let us know in the comments below! Need to go deeper? Study the Old Testament with eyes to see Jesus—it will transform your faith!
Where are you? God asked Adam and Eve that question in the garden… and He may be whispering it to you right now. We're kicking off Advent by going all the way back to the beginning. Did you know the entire Bible is actually one unified story whispering the same promise on every page? Today we revisit the Fall, not as a story of failure, but as a stunning picture of God's relentless pursuit of His people. Right in the middle of humanity's first rebellion, God plants the first seed of redemption. In Genesis 3, He doesn't walk away. He goes looking. He calls out, “Where are you?” Join us as we uncover the simmering hope woven through the Old Testament, culminating in the glorious gift of our Savior. Don't miss this essential look at how the Advent story begins in Eden. Discover how this ancient moment reframes your faith, your story, and your future. God is pursuing you. And you can trust Him.

They discuss the importance of heart alignment in relationships, navigating difficult family dynamics, and the necessity of setting healthy boundaries. The conversation emphasizes the role of prayer and forgiveness in conflict resolution and the need for seeking God's guidance in personal relationships. Ultimately, they highlight the importance of practicing healthy boundaries while maintaining peace and respect in challenging situations.We want to hear from YOU!
