Christmas Playlist Sermon Series

O Come, O Come, EmmanuelMalachi 3:1; Isaiah 9:1-2, 6-7Travis Collins

O God Among Us, Come. Great king, who gives the Law To gather nations nigh, O Lord our God, Redeemer, To save your children, come. A sermon on Isaiah 7:14

Segment 1: • Too Exclusive for Christmas? The Church of England now discourages hymns that reference Jesus as Messiah. • Specific Hymns Targeted: O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Once in Royal David's City are considered problematic. • The Bigger Issue: If core Christian hymns aren't inclusive enough, where does the church go next? Segment 2: • Holding Onto Tradition: The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols remains a Christmas staple for many believers. • The Mary Focus: An increasing emphasis on Mary has been happening for decades, shifting theological emphasis. • Calvin Robinson's Shift: The well-known Anglican figure is now in the U.S.—and Catholic. Segment 3: • Why People Are Leaving: Many are abandoning seeker-sensitive churches for liturgical, tradition-heavy faiths. • A Lesson for Evangelicals: People are tired of shallow entertainment in churches and are looking for deeper theology. • Podcast Success: New Fortis Podcasts are ranking in the top 10% worldwide—proof people crave solid teaching. Segment 4: • Anglican Catholics Resemble Rome: Their statement of faith reveals significant Catholic influence. • Presidential Decision: Nearly every death row inmate's sentence is commuted to life without parole. • Biblical Justice Matters: Murder earns the wage of death, and minimizing justice diminishes the value of human life made in God's image. ___ Thanks for listening!

Are you in a season of waiting? In this sermon, we'll explore Acts 1:4-11 and how faithful waiting always involves faithful working. Waiting isn't passive, it's an opportunity to focus on God's eternal Kingdom and actively live out your faith. Learn how to stay purposeful, trust in God's timing, and rely on the Holy Spirit for strength as you wait. 

The first time Jesus came, He came as a baby in a manger. But the next time He comes, He will come as a conquering King. In this message, Pastor Josh shows us how Advent points us toward the second coming of Jesus Christ.

A sermon by Tim Weiss.

Mary looks at some headlines and Scriptures to usher in Christmas 2024. For those who may not know much about the Bible but grew up on "A Charlie Brown Christmas",  the first half of Luke 2 with it's Caesars, angels, shepherds, parents and baby is at least a little familiar. But what about the 2nd half of that chapter? There is a wonderful lesson tucked in there that last days watchers will appreciate. We also look at the biggest story of 2024, Israel, by the numbers. God is blessing the world through Israel but does anyone take notice? The consolation of Israel is something the prophets longed for; how much more should the church be looking forward to that, via the many unfulfilled prophecies regarding the future tribulation, 2nd coming, and millennium. We also take a look at technology and the big picture on the exponential increase over the last 100 years. Sending 2024 off today, and looking forward to what God has for us in 2025.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A    

One of the oldest Christmas songs is “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” It is written with a perspective of longing similar to how we can often wonder in life circumstances, “Where is God?” The verses capture the darkness of life before Jesus while the chorus embodies the rejoicing and hope that Jesus will arrive. In our day-to-day lives - are we choosing to live in the verses of the song? Or are we embracing the hope that is Jesus as reflected in the chorus by seeing things differently and trusting God? It isn't a one-time choice, but a continual process of choosing to live as though Jesus is with us.

Before you celebrate at church today or tomorrow, let's take a look at two of my favorite Christmas carols. Often, we sing these songs, without paying attention to their meaning. Let's not do that this year.In this episode, you'll discover:✅ A hidden verse in a popular Christmas carol ✅ The significance of phrases and words✅ Beautiful descriptions of Jesus that you can share or teach to your kids.Mentioned Links: O Come, O Come Emmanuel - 8 questions to discussFree Christmas Unit Study

Are you waiting on God to do a miracle in your life? In today's message from Luke 1, we'll see how sometimes the miracles we're looking for are already happening in ways we don't expect. We often focus on the big, dramatic moments while God is at work in the small, everyday things too—revealing His bigger plan. The true miracle of Christmas is that God saves us through Jesus, and it's amazing that He invites us to be a part of what He's doing. God is working, even when we don't see it.

This special Christmas edition of the podcast features Shane's man-on-the-street interviews that he recorded at a local Christmas festival. In particular, he asked whether the holiday, with all its memorable characters, is rooted in mythology, history, or a little of both. In the second half of the program, Shane reads selections from Justin Martyr's First Apology, which provides insight into the compelling nature of early Christian proclamation.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we examined the origins of the popular Christmas song "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." It is a Christian hymn that refers to the biblical concept of Immanuel (meaning "God with us") from Isaiah 8:8, essentially expressing a prayerful longing for the coming of Jesus Christ, both at his first birth and in anticipation of his second coming. Our special guest was Becky Harling, a speaker, mentor, author, and podcast host. She talked about the importance of loneliness and community during the holiday season, as highlighted in her latest book, "Cultivating Deeper Connections in a Lonely World." Also, we shared that Moody has several Christmas specials to enjoy, including the Karl and Crew special. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew podcast.

Emmanuel, God with us, transforms our lives by being knowable, relatable, and offering hope in the midst of impossibilities. In this powerful message, Renee Groff celebrates how Jesus came to dwell among us, changing not just our present but securing our eternal future.

Life has a way of testing our patience, doesn't it? Whether you're waiting on an answer, a breakthrough, or a sense of direction, the in-between can feel overwhelming. Yet, what if this season of waiting is not wasted? What if, in the quiet moments of uncertainty, God is revealing Himself in ways we might be missing? In today's message, we're going to explore how even in the waiting, God is present and working.

As we continue our Advent series we look at the promise of hope in Jesus.
