Send us a textThis is a special "Christmas Edition" of the Hymns That I Love series.  This episode features the hymn O Little Town Of Bethlehem.  Written and published in the 1860s, there is a rich history to this song...a history that begins with a visit to the Holy Land for a Christmas Eve service.  Pastor Phillips Brooks and his organist, Lewis Redner, collaborated to combine lyrics and melody.  The song was originally used as a children's choir piece for a Christmas Eve service.  Little did Brooks and Redner know, hundreds of years later the song would still be sung and popular with modern audiences.     Listen to Derek's Christmas album "GLORIA!" on Spotify (includes O Little Town Of Bethlehem)Derek's Hymns Playlist On YouTube

A conversation with Rachel Mann about Advent candles, the real date of Jesus' birth (spoiler: we don't know), and the importance of music during Christmas and Advent.

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Christmas at Church On The Move—The Gift, Part 1NOTES

What happens when a hitmaker hits a breaking point? In this revealing episode of Contagious Influencers of America, nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with Gold-certified, award-winning singer-songwriter Colton Dixon—an artist who has spent his career using music to connect hearts, lift spirits, and offer hope. With nearly 1 billion streams, multiple #1 Billboard debuts, and songs that have broken records and inspired books, Colton has seen the power of music to bring people together. And yet, he approaches his craft with deep humility, treating music as a universal language that carries both beauty and responsibility. His mission? To write truth, reflect hope in darkness, and leave people better than he found them. In this conversation, Colton opens up about the moment that inspired his new single "The Love I Have For You," a song shaped by the life-changing experience of fatherhood. He shares how juggling twins, marriage, and a booming career led to a season of anxiety—one he refused to let define his identity. Colton discusses how Romans 8 reframed his perspective, why he chooses to speak hope over fear, and the surprising lessons his five-year-old girls teach him every day. David and Colton also dive into the wave of revival sweeping across college campuses, the healing power of forgiveness—highlighted by a recent high-profile example that moved him—and the importance of guarding our digital habits in a distracted world. Colton even weighs in on whether AI has a meaningful place in the creative process. They wrap up with the story behind his Christmas single "Home for Christmas" and what "home" really means to someone who spends much of life on the road. Along the way, you'll hear how his reverence for the art of songwriting, his commitment to integrity, and his desire to use music for good continue to shape his life as an artist. You can listen to Colton's holiday single Home For Christmas, now streaming on the Christmas Wish Channel and KeepTheFaith Radio.

During our special Christmas Eve services, we talked about the Christmas story of Jesus' birth. Despite being born in humble circumstances in Bethlehem, Jesus was a light in the darkness, offering peace and guidance amidst life's challenges. Jesus is our guiding light, and he is inviting us to return to him, where love and grace abound.

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! On this last Sunday before Christmas, our focus is on love, and the Christmas story overflows with love. When we examine Joseph's part of the Christmas story, we see his love for Jesus in the role model he set, in the sacrifices he made to protect his family, and in the devotion to God shown by his obedient actions. If you prayed to make Jesus your Lord today, we want to rejoice with you! If you would want someone to pray with you, we are eager to do so!

Christmas is a time of celebration, not just for the traditions and festivities, but for the profound spiritual truth it represents. Before the world was formed, God had a plan, a plan that included the birth of a Savior, Jesus Christ. This plan was meticulously crafted, knowing the chaos and mess humanity would create. Yet, God chose to send His Son into the world, not in grandeur, but in humility, born to a young virgin named Mary. This act of divine love is what we celebrate during Christmas, a season that reminds us of the light that Jesus brought into a dark world.The story of Christmas is not just a historical account but a narrative that began before time itself. In the Gospel of John, we learn that Jesus, the Word, was with God from the beginning. He is the light of all mankind, a light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. This light is what we celebrate when we see the twinkling lights of Christmas trees and decorations. It is a reminder that Jesus came to illuminate our lives, to drive out darkness, and to offer us the gift of becoming children of God.Christmas also invites us to embrace a childlike faith. The wonder and awe that children experience during this season reflect the kind of faith we are called to have. Jesus taught that to enter the kingdom of God, we must receive it like a child, with openness and trust. This childlike faith allows us to believe in the miraculous, to see the world with wonder, and to trust in God's promises.Finally, Christmas is a time when all of creation rejoices. The birth of Jesus was not just a human event but a cosmic one. The stars, the angels, and even the unborn John the Baptist leapt with joy at His coming. If creation can celebrate the birth of Christ, so should we. Christmas is a reminder that God's plan was set in motion to bring salvation to the world, a plan that culminated in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This is why we love Christmas, for it is a celebration of the light, hope, and salvation that Jesus brings.

This week's Advent focus is on the Magi, who embarked on a journey to worship Jesus, symbolizing a spiritual journey of discovery and surrender. Through this story, we see that worship is a lifestyle that requires offering our lives fully to God and aligning personal plans with His will. As we walk through the journey of worship - in discovery, treasure, and humility—we can engage deeply and humbly in worship.

During our second week of Advent, we read in Luke Chapter 2 about how the shepherds in the field were the first to hear about the birth of Jesus from angels. Ordinary, marginalized people were chosen to be the first to receive the news of the Messiah's arrival in Bethlehem. As we talked about the wonder and awe that the shepherds must have experienced, we were challenged to share the joy and wonder of our faith with others through personal stories, the way we live, and inviting others to experience the good news.

With the coldest season of the year upon us, Azim Ahmed hears how faith groups across Wales are helping homeless people through the hardest winter months. It's estimated that nearly 3000 people each year sleep rough in Wales, but being homeless also includes people who are living in temporary hostels or night shelters, or lodging temporarily with family or friends. Nearly 10, 000 households in Wales are classified as at risk of being pushed into homelessness due to poverty and insecure housing. Across Wales people of faith do what they can to alleviate the hardship of living without a home, and today we'll meet some of these individuals and hear about the personal efforts they make. We begin at the Victoria Fish Bar in North Cardiff where one Muslim family, Mohammad and Jawad Nazakat, head up an initiative to give out free fish and chips to the homeless each Christmas. In Wrexham Housing Justice Cymru's Citadel project helps foster community for the people they support over the Christmas period. They work in collaboration with Hope Street Church, who gather together volunteers to pack ‘Bags of Kindness' for those in need at Christmas. It's part of a national initiative, ‘Love Christmas' encouraging organisations to spread kindness during the festive period. We visit the Hare Krishna ‘Atma Café' in central Cardiff which gives out free vegan food to those in need. We hear from Father Dean Atkins and Salvation Army chaplain John Stark who have organised a memorial service at St. Mary's Butetown to remember those who have died homeless. The service is accompanied by the ‘Choir with No Name', a choir which builds joyful singing communities with people impacted by homelessness and marginalisation.

I love Christmas! I adore the lights, the decorations, the trees, the ornaments, the Christmas carols, the eggnog, the cookies, the presents—the whole experience.

AGREE TO DISAGREE: New proposed laws // Why (some) of us love Christmas movies // WE HEAR YOU! and WORDS TO LIVE BY

The Christmas season can be one of the busiest—and sometimes most stressful—times in ministry. With endless events, high expectations, and the pressure to make everything perfect, it's easy for pastors to lose sight of the joy and meaning of the season. In this episode, we tackle the challenge of being a "Pastor Grinch" at Christmas. Together, we'll explore practical ways to embrace the spirit of the Christmas Season while managing the unique demands of ministry during the holidays.

In this sermon, we kick off the Advent season with a message that focuses on the concept of being "willing." Pastor John highlights the story of Mary and Joseph as examples of having hearts sensitive to God's call and willing to do difficult things. He walks us through three key points: willingness is birthed from a heart sensitive toward the Lord, believers can do difficult things when following God's plan, and obedience is required to fulfill God's purpose.

Happy Christmas in July! It might not be the time of year where you're used to thinking about Christmas. But we think it's a great time to grab a pool floaty and your family and think through what this year's Christmas season will look like. Plus, we LOVE Christmas. And we love all of the opportunities the season gives us to redirect anticipation toward Jesus' birth. So our team compiled a list of 5 activities to make the season more meaningful, and we know that just a little bit of preparation now will reap huge rewards once Christmas rolls around. Plus, we'd love it more than anything if you'd join us this year with Advent Blocks. It's what started us on this whole journey of celebrating the GoodKind habits and holidays. And we think you'll love it! www.goodkind.shop Top 5 Activities for a More Meaningful Christmas 1. Make space to decorate.  Enjoy the lights and tree (no judgment on if it is real or artificial!) but also put something up central in the home that is about Jesus. We think Advent Blocks is just as good as a decoration as it is a family tradition.  2. Make something homemade.  Christmas crafts are the best! There are tons of options online, but we also have several suggestions for church leaders to use along with Advent Blocks! Sign up here for the local church program for crafts, games, and coloring pages for the whole church to use together!  3. Read a book together.  Repetition is key. And the Christmas story is a beautiful one to craft a family tradition around. Pick a devotional that you will plan to read together year after year.  4. Sing!  There are so many great Christmas carols, jingles, and songs to celebrate the season with. We even wrote one ourselves! 5. Give intentional gifts.  Schedule time to shop together with your kids. Schedule a time to wrap those gifts. The togetherness makes it so special. But before you do any of that, schedule a time to make your list, and make it meaningful. Last year, we even suggested cutting some people out! Trust us, being intentional about the whole gift-giving process may feel like extra work, but it is so worth it to have the confidence that goes with the intentionality! And they will feel it too! 

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! Can you believe we're already in the final week of February? We sure can't! Two months down on the long journey to Christmas 2024!

This year is a special year because the 4th week of Advent lands on Christmas Eve. So if you're listening to this, you are actually listening to our Christmas Eve Service. Amazingly enough, it lands on the most important subject we can possibly seek after…God is love. This is what the incarnation is about: Love. That he loved us enough to become us. That he loved us enough to take on all of humanity and release us from our false views of God. Pagan gods demand sacrifice to be loved, pagan gods demand words to be loved, pagan gods need appeased to be loved. Not Christ. He is the true God, and he showed us what true love is.

We all need hope, peace, joy, and love in our lives. But let's be real, the versions we see in the world are too fragile and the solutions they offer aren't cutting it. In this series, we're diving deep into how Jesus coming to Earth brings real deal solutions to what our hearts desperately long for!
