The same Light that entered the world through Jesus now lives in you—empowering you to walk in courage, clarity, and authority.Tune in and be reminded: the silence is breaking, and your season to shine is here.

Kingdom Come: A Study of Matthew's GospelWeek 2Matthew 4:12-17Jarrod Robinson
Christmas is the beginning of your CALLING.[John 8:12] Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life."God's Light wants to work THROUGH you.[Matthew 5:14] "You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.You are not just saved from the DARKNESS, you are sent INTO it.Darkness is not your ENEMY, it is your ASSIGNMENT.[Matthew 5:14-16] "You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. [15] No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. [16] In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.Faith was never meant to be INVISIBLE.[Matthew 5:13] "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.The light grows in COMMUNITY, not in ISOLATION.Light shines through your STORY not your PERFECTION.[Revelation 12:11a] And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.The light has come TO you so that it can move THROUGH you.[Matthew 28:18-20] Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. [19] Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. [20] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Part 4 of "The Light Has Come"
A sermon by Kelly Brady from John 1:19-34
In this Christmas message, Pastor Matthew explores Isaiah 9:1–7, the breathtaking prophecy that announced hope to a people surrounded by fear, war, and despair. Long before a manger in Bethlehem, God promised a Child who would shatter oppression, conquer death, and reign forever as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Step into the story behind the prophecy. Lean into the historical anguish of Isaiah's audience, the cosmic hope of the coming Messiah, and the personal assurance that Christ's light still breaks through every shadow today. When life feels dark, when fear, anxiety, or loss cloud your vision, remember: “the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” That light has come. His name is Jesus.

In the fourth and final episode of Promised & Fulfilled, hosts Greg and Nathan turn to one of the most hope-filled promises in all of Scripture. In “A Light to the Nations: Isaiah's Vision of Redemption,” they explore Isaiah 9 and the breathtaking declaration that a great light would shine on people walking in darkness. Spoken into a time of judgment, fear, and uncertainty, Isaiah's prophecy points forward to a coming King—one whose reign would bring peace without end. Greg and Nathan unpack how this promise finds its fulfillment in the birth of Jesus Christ, announced to the shepherds as “a Savior… who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11) and revealed as the true light who overcomes the darkness (John 1:4–5). This episode explores: The historical and spiritual darkness surrounding Isaiah's prophecy The meaning behind the messianic titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace How Jesus embodies the light, peace, and righteous rule foretold by Isaiah What it means to live today in the tension of the “already and not yet” of Christ's kingdom As the series concludes, this conversation invites listeners to rejoice that the light has already come—and to live with hope as we await the full and final fulfillment of His eternal reign. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2, ESV)

The Light That Brings Love
Message from Steve Holt on 12/21/2025
Christmas is the moment where the _____________ breaks the ___________________.[John 1:9] The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.When God reveals His _____________, nothing stays the _____________.[Micah 5:2] But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past.God is never _____________.[Luke 2:6-7] And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. [7] She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.God didn't _____________ for us to come to Him.[Philippians 2:6-7] Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. [7] Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form.Everyone is _________________ at the ________________.[Isaiah 59:2a] It's your sins that have cut you off from God.God's solution to ___________________ is a Person.[Luke 2:8-10] That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. [9] Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terrified, [10] but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.God reveals His Light to the ones the world _____________.[Luke 2:15] When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, "Let's go to Bethlehem! Let's see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."[John 1:12] But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

The Light That Brings Joy
Even when you ___________________ God to move, you still have to ___________________ for Him.[Psalm 130:6 NIV] I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.God often grows the miracle in ___________________ places before He reveals it in ___________________ places.Waiting ___________________ us while the thing God is doing in you is still ___________________ to others.[Psalm 27:13-14 NIV] I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. [14] Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.After the ___________________ comes the waiting.Faith is believing God is ___________________ even when you can't ___________________ it.[Matthew 1:19-21] Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. [20] As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. [21] And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."How you _____________ while you wait says more about your ___________________ than how you act after God comes through.[Luke 1:46-49] Mary responded, "Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. [47] How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! [48] For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed. [49] For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me._______________ sustains your __________ while you wait.[Isaiah 40:29-31 ESV] He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. [30] Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; [31] but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
