Pastor Eric Zellner continues preaching this year's advent series. "God revealed His Servant to provide you assurance."
Pastor Patrick Cobb Luke 3:23-38
Prophecy is only as compelling as its fulfillment, and the prophets of Israel paint a portrait of the Messiah that lands squarely on Jesus—his birth, his mission, his death, and his return. We walk through Jeremiah's promise of a righteous branch and a new covenant written on hearts, then watch Jesus lift the cup and name that covenant in his own blood. Daniel's Son of Man anchors Jesus' favorite title in an eternal kingdom that will not pass away, while the seventy weeks set a clock that points to a Messiah “cut off,” turning the cross from scandal into strategy.Jonah offers the sign of three days hidden before life breaks in, and Micah narrows the map to Bethlehem for a ruler whose origin reaches into eternity. Zechariah brings the details into sharp relief: the humble king on a colt, the thirty silver coins cast to a potter, the pierced one mourned like an only son, the shepherd struck as the flock scatters, and a future scene on the Mount of Olives where the curse is lifted and peace is secure. Each thread tightens the case and widens the hope, showing that God's plan is not a set of lucky guesses but a single story carried across centuries.What rises from these pages is a challenge and a comfort. Many in the first century waited for a warrior and dismissed a servant; yet the path to the crown runs through the cross. Mark 10:45 calls the Son of Man a ransom for many, and John 1 says those who receive him become children of God. That's the heart of Advent for us: learning to recognize the king who arrives lowly so we're ready when he arrives in glory.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0poiHYf4F8Q

TNG 12-7-2025 The Parables of Jesus - Part 2 by The Naples Gathering
The creator of the heavens and the earth is also the savior of the world. Jesus, the highest name of all, means Salvation. He is the Savior of the world. He is the Light of the world and He is Resurrection and Life. He is above all and through Him all things are held together. The greatest mystery of all is that we can be united with Him - living in union with the Lord of all.
This is tough stuff, but this is real stuff! This is the stuff where theology becomes life change! This is the stuff where truth sets us free! This is where we read Collosians 3 and it's not just a good bible study, but it's words of life and hope and truth that transform us!

Today we continue talking about what it means to lay down our lives for Jesus and for one another.
In whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus! Giving thanks through Him to God the Father! That's real life! And it makes sense when you understand what we've been given in Christ! The grace, forgiveness, hope and life we have been given!

When Mary is approached by Gabriel, she is filled with concern, and one big question: "How?" But she was being pursued by grace and God had a plan for her personally - by name - that would shape the course of all of history. Despite her initial bewilderment, she offers herself freely as the Lord's servant; and we, too, have the opportunity to say yes to God's grace. One of the wisest prayers we can pray is to agree with Mary's words in Luke 1: "Be it unto me according to Your word."
Anne shares from John 1.
"The Greatness of Jesus"Mark 10:32-45Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
Pastor Josh Shideler continues this year's advent series on the Long Expected Jesus from Isaiah. "Look to this King for lasting peace."
What if the oldest promises in Scripture were always pointing to a single person—and not just in vague metaphors, but with names, titles, and a story arc that lands on a cross and an empty tomb? We follow that thread through two major voices: Samuel, who preserves Hannah's fierce song of reversal and introduces the Bible's first use of “Messiah,” and Isaiah, who sketches the breathtaking portrait of a virgin-born King, a gentle Servant, and a suffering substitute who yet lives to justify many.We start with Hannah's song, where God humbles the proud and lifts the lowly, then arrive at a startling promise: Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth and exalt his anointed. From there, the promises tighten. A faithful priest will do all God's will. A descendant of David will reign forever. Peter later stands in Jerusalem and says that the risen Jesus is that descendant, the one death could not hold. It's a cumulative case built on covenant, priesthood, kingship, and resurrection.Isaiah intensifies the case with details hard to ignore. A child is called Mighty God and Prince of Peace. A branch rises from Jesse, the Spirit rests on him, and he brings justice to the nations without crushing the weak. Most arresting of all, the servant bears our griefs, is pierced for our sins, and then “will see” and “will justify many,” language that signals a life beyond death. Jesus reads Isaiah 61 in the synagogue and says, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled,” claiming the anointing to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the captive.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQnE1d30uao

Faithfulness in prayer and service is no small thing, especially when fruitfulness has been long delayed. In seasons of delay or little fruit, we could even begin to question if we're really qualified to approach God on behalf of ourselves or others. Our identity in Christ, however, is not dependent on our feelings; it's dependent on God's word of grace and truth. In God's own gracious power, He knows just how to bring us into a place of sovereign fruitfulness that our own efforts could never produce. In Luke 1, Zechariah discovers that his deepest prayer had been heard all along, and in Christ we can be confident that the same is true for us.

TNG 11-30-2025 The Parables of Jesus - Part 1 by The Naples Gathering
In this message, Pastor Joe Still wraps-up our UNEXPECTED teaching on the Parables of JESUS. He'll close out this study by exploring two brief parables found in Mark chapter 4. In both parables JESUS compares the Kingdom of GOD to “seeds”. Both parables also point us to much HOPE! This Sunday is also the first Sunday of ADVENT. On that day we join with churches all around the world lighting the Candle of HOPE! Additionally, this Sunday begins our annual WEEK OF PRAYER FOR INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS. It is a week rooted in the HOPE that we will fulfill the Great Commission JESUS gave us to take His Gospel to every man, woman, and child on the planet. We'll also begin collecting our annual Christmas offering to support that work being done by our International Missionaries serving around the world. It's going to be a great, HOPE-filled day here at "the River"!

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on November 30, 2025
A single thread runs from Eden to Bethlehem to an empty tomb, and we follow it step by step. We open with Jesus' own claim that the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms were written about Him, then trace how that claim reshapes the way we read Genesis through Deuteronomy. From the seed promised in Genesis 3 to Abraham's offspring who blesses the nations, from Judah's scepter to Balaam's star, the Torah forms a cohesive portrait of a Spirit-anointed King who would suffer, rise, and bring forgiveness to all peoples.We explore why “Messiah” means more than a royal title. Isaiah 11 describes an anointing not with oil but with the Holy Spirit, and John the Baptist recognizes Jesus by the Spirit descending and remaining on Him. That sign unlocks a chain of connections: the Prophet like Moses who speaks God's very words, the child called out of Egypt, the obedient Son who fulfills the law. Rather than reducing the Old Testament to isolated prophecies, we show the narrative logic that leads to Christ: promise, pattern, fulfillment. Along the way, we highlight types and foreshadows that prepare the heart for faith—Melchizedek's priest-king, Isaac's near sacrifice, Joseph's path from rejection to glory, the Passover lamb, the wilderness rock, and the sacrificial system that anticipates a greater atonement.The good news comes to a head in Paul's words: what the law could not do, God did by sending His Son. Jesus perfectly obeys, bears our sin, and gives His righteousness to those who are in Him, so there is now no condemnation. That's not a vague comfort; it's a new reality empowered by the Spirit. If you've ever wondered how the Torah points to Jesus, this conversation maps the route with clarity and reverence, showing how ancient promises become living hope.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v9_l3C9aqI

Our problem often isn't that we ask God for too much but rather that we settle for too little.
