Christmas Eve is a time filled with beauty, tradition, and reflection, but it can also be a season where pain, loss, and unanswered questions feel heavier than ever. In this powerful Christmas Eve message, Pastor Aaron Pennington invites us to slow down and ask the question at the heart of the Christmas story: What Child Is This?As part of our Songs of Christmas series, this sermon explores the story and meaning behind the beloved carol What Child Is This? Pastor Aaron walks through the origins of the song, the pain that shaped it, and how its message still speaks hope into our lives today. This message reminds us that Jesus did not arrive in comfort and perfection, but stepped into a messy, broken world to bring light, life, and healing.Whether Christmas is joyful or heavy for you, this message is an invitation to experience Jesus not as a tradition, but as the Savior who meets us in our cold and dark moments. Through Scripture, personal story, and the truth of the Gospel, Pastor Aaron shares how Jesus is God with us, Emmanuel, and how His life, death, and resurrection offer forgiveness, restoration, and new life for anyone who believes.If you are new to church, returning after a long time, or simply searching for hope this Christmas season, we are honored you are here.

Christmas is full of beauty, joy, and tradition, but it can also be chaotic and distracting. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Aaron reveals how we can center our hearts on Jesus, the true reason for the season, and discover why making room for Him changes everything. From the manger to the cross to the empty tomb, this message reminds us that Jesus is our promised Messiah, perfect sacrifice, and living hope. Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church. We pray this moves you closer to Christ and encourages you.

What if joy isn't something you chase—but something you receive? In this Advent message, Pastor Aaron McRae explores the deep, lasting joy that Jesus brings—a joy that is often unexpected, received by faith, and anchored in eternity.Drawing from Luke 2 and the Christmas story, this message reframes joy beyond temporary happiness, success, or comfort. Pastor Aaron contrasts the world's pursuit of happiness with the biblical invitation to joy—one that meets us in brokenness, suffering, uncertainty, and fear. From the unlikely joy announced to shepherds, to reflections from thinkers like C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and modern neuroscience, this message shows how true joy is not circumstantial, but relational.This sermon speaks directly to those navigating stress, grief, anxiety, financial pressure, health challenges, or spiritual dryness. It reminds us that Jesus came not only to save what is lost, but to heal what is broken—and His joy is available here and now, regardless of circumstances.If you are searching for meaning beyond happiness, longing for hope this Christmas season, or wondering where to anchor your joy, this message will help you make room for the lasting joy found only in Jesus.Scriptures ReferencedLuke 2:1–14Psalm 16:11Psalm 51:12Galatians 5:22Philippians 4:4–6Psalm 119:14Romans 15:13Hebrews 12:2Resources & References MentionedArthur Brooks — Leadership and Happiness (Harvard Business School)Dietrich Bonhoeffer — Conspiracy and ImprisonmentC.S.

What is your soul worth?In this Christmas message from The Songs of Christmas, Pastor Aaron explores the powerful meaning behind O Holy Night and why this historic hymn still speaks so deeply to our hearts today. From its unexpected origins to its enduring message of hope, this sermon invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.This episode addresses weariness, identity, and worth, reminding us that Jesus did not only come to forgive sin, but to restore our value, bring redemption, and offer new life both now and forever. If you have ever felt stuck, unworthy, or exhausted by life, this message points you back to the hope found in Christ alone.You will hear why Christmas joy is not denial of pain, but confidence in who reigns, how Jesus came not just to save us from sin but from ourselves, and why our worth is defined by the price He paid.This sermon is part of the Songs of Christmas series at Trace Church, a church in Colorado Springs focused on helping people know Jesus, find community, and live transformed lives.Listen in and be encouraged as we fix our eyes on Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith, and remember that even in the hardest seasons, God can grow the strongest hope.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches on the 7th day of creation "God rested." But, why did God rest? Does God get tired and weary? No, that's not the case at all. So, if it's not because of weariness, why did God rest? That's the topic of this sermon and the connection between God's rest and ours. 

Pastor Aaron concludes his Christmas series for 2025

Pastor Aaron continues our Arrival series by exploring the heart of Advent — love. Advent means arrival, and in this message we're reminded that God didn't just send love… God IS love. Through 1 John 4, we see how God's love was fully revealed in Jesus, and how that love is meant to shape how we live, believe, and treat others.

It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life!

In this message, Pastor Aaron shares a Psalm from one of the sons of Korah. Here the psalmist reinforces even in a time of waiting and agony, that he will trust in the Lord who is faithful. Pastor encourages us this season to keep wiating in anticipation for things of eternity.

Advent Week 2 Peace Pastor Aaron Wallace by Pastor Aaron Wallace

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, yet many people enter this season exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling far from joyful and triumphant. In this message, Lead Pastor Aaron Pennington opens our Christmas series, Songs of Christmas, by taking us deeper into the meaning behind the classic hymn O Come All Ye Faithful.Rather than treating Christmas music as background noise, Pastor Aaron shows how this 250 year old hymn is actually a calling to reorient our hearts toward Jesus. Using Colossians 1, Matthew 11, Hebrews 4, and the overarching story of Scripture, he explains what it truly means to adore Christ and why adoration goes far beyond seasonal emotion. It is the highest biblical expression of worship, placing Christ as the supreme affection of our lives.Whether you walked into this season feeling faithful, joyful, or triumphant, or whether you feel weary, broken, disappointed, or unsure about faith, this message reminds you that the hymn is not describing your performance. It is describing the victory of Jesus that you step into by faith.Pastor Aaron also addresses the emotional weight many people carry in December and offers the comfort Jesus gives to the weary. Because Christ took on flesh and experienced suffering, betrayal, exhaustion, and pain, we can never say to God, “You do not understand.” He understands completely and invites us to come boldly to receive mercy and grace.This message will help you slow down, refocus your heart, and rediscover why Jesus is worthy of all devotion, affection, and adoration this Christmas. Learn why Christmas is not about having it all together but about the Savior who came to rescue us, redeem us, and offer eternal life to all who trust him.

In this message, Pastor Aaron shares how the world has been clinging to hope since man's original sin in the Garden. Jesus was always God's answer to our need.

The more we know about Him, the more we abide in Him, the more joy we should walk in!

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches this main point: Mature Christians support ministry and support ministers.

Are you resisting the enemy or unknowingly giving him influence in your life? In this final message from our Unholy Spirits series, Lead Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches from Matthew 12 and exposes one of Jesus' strongest warnings about spiritual warfare: it is not enough to “clean up your life” if your life is not filled with God.Pastor Aaron shows how deception remains the enemy's primary weapon and how he lures people away from God at a pace that does not alarm them. He reveals the modern doors many believers are opening without realizing it, including the dangers connected to smartphones, social media, and the new era of artificial intelligence. This message challenges us to pay attention, remove anything that invites spiritual influence, and anchor ourselves in the truth of God's Word.This teaching will equip you to recognize deception, identify open doors, guard your mind, and stand firm in the authority Jesus has given you. Learn what Jesus meant by resisting the devil, why truth is your greatest weapon, and how to step into the future with wisdom, discernment, and confidence in the Holy Spirit.

In this message, Pastor Aaron looks at Joseph's role in the Christmas story, and how he trusted God without having all the details... and how God challenges us to do the same.Even when obedience is costly, and when we don't understand why, God uses our "yes" to shape our lives, restore hope, and write a new story far greater than we ever imagined!

In today's message, Pastor Aaron takes us through the Christmas story through the eyes of Mary to discover the power of saying “yes” to God. Her life shows us what availability, humility, and preparation make possible when God calls. This message will challenge you to evaluate your own “yes” and step into what God wants to do through you this season. Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church.

God is GREAT and greatly to be praised!

This sermon connects the space-age hope of the 1960s, the promise of Isaiah 65, and Jesus' call in Mark 13 to remind us what Advent is truly about. We don't deny the brokenness around us—Advent teaches us to hope right through it, to live as if God's future is already breaking in. It all centers on one question: Do you see what I see?

What if the reason you feel like you don't have enough… has nothing to do with what you're missing? In Part 3 of our Giving Thanks series, Pastor Aaron uncovers the perspective that changes everything, and the surprising way God supplies what we truly need.Scriptures referenced in this message:· Philippians 4:19· Jeremiah 29:11 · 2 Corinthians 1:20 · Matthew 28:20· Philippians 4:19· Genesis 22:1–2,13-14· Galatians 5:22· 2 Corinthians 12:7–10· 1 Peter 1:6–7· Deuteronomy 8:2–5· Exodus 23:29–30· Philippians 4:12Learn more about salvation, info about Destiny Church, or how to give by visiting our website.Real | Relevant | Relationship
