In this Christmas episode of Inside Grace with Alan Wright, Pastor Alan is joined by Pastor Chris Lawson for a warm and lively conversation about the traditions that shape their families and churches each December. From favorite carols and candlelight services to quiet moments at home, Alan and Chris share the practices that help them slow down, remember the gospel, and keep Jesus at the center of Christmas. Along the way, they reflect on why traditions really matter, how they can either point us to grace or distract us from it, and how to refresh old habits that have gone a little stale. Then they turn to John chapter 1 to ask a surprising question. Could this beloved passage about the Word and the light be the perfect Christmas text? Discover how John 1 pulls back the curtain on the miracle of the incarnation and invites us to see Christmas not just as a manger scene, but as God stepping into our darkness with unshakable light.
The Lord's Supper is more than just eating bread and drinking juice. The Lord's Supper is a way that we give thanks for our freedom purchased by Jesus' crucifixion and how we give thanks for our future promised by His resurrection.
Paul teaches that generosity is a partnership that shares, an investment that sows and worship that sacrifices.
Pastor Alan Pastian Every puzzle piece connects — not by its tabs (strengths), but by its blanks (weaknesses). It's the spaces where we lack that allow connection, grace, and God's power to fit perfectly. The Blanks, Pastor Alan reminds us that our weaknesses don't disqualify us — they position us. Through the story of Gideon in Judges 6–7, we see that God meets us in our insecurity, redefines our strength, and uses our “blanks” to build His bigger picture. TEXT: Judges 6–7, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Judges 6:14, Psalm 139:23–24, 1 Peter 2:9, Joshua 1:9 NOTES: Big Idea: Your weakness doesn't disqualify you — it's where God's strength fits perfectly. Practical Actions: -Identify Your Whine Press — What fear or excuse is holding you back? -Declare Who God Says You Are — Replace “I am the least” with “God is with me.” -Go in the Strength You Have — Take one small faith step this week. -Invite God Into Your Blanks — Pray: “Lord, fill my blanks with Your grace.” Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #MadeToGarden #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

This week, we had the honor of hearing from Pastor Alan Clayton, who shared a powerful message about what happens when we make God bigger in our lives.Through the story of Jacob in Genesis 28, we were reminded:➡️ God's presence is closer than we realize.➡️ His Word speaks comfort, strength, and purpose.➡️ A bigger view of God leads to a stronger, more meaningful life.➡️ Strength, not just fun, determines the quality of our lives.If you've been walking through uncertainty, feeling weak, or wondering what's next… this message is a timely encouragement that God is with you, He's speaking, and He's calling you to respond.“Surely the Lord is in this place—and I wasn't even aware of it.” (Genesis 28:16)
Psalm 34 is an invitation to enjoy the goodness of God by exalting Him with others and experiencing Him yourself.

Do you know a lot about God, but still sometimes feel disconnected from him? What does it mean to love the Lord with your heart, soul, mind, and strength? Today's guest, Dr. Reverend Alan Johnson shares about spiritual formation and his journey from knowing information about God to experiencing him relationally. As a pastor, Dr. Alan sheds some light on the unique challenges that ministry leaders face in cultivating their relationship with God. Anyone facing questions or trials can find it easier and safer to retreat into the realm of knowledge about God rather than wrestle relationally with these questions. Throughout the show Dr. Alan talks about his experience of spiritual formation and the practices that helped him relate to God and see himself more and more as a beloved child of God. So, come join us for a great conversation as we learn to let Jesus pull his weight and form us into who he made us to be, children of God.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In episode 760: They Lied to You About the Rapture, Tony is joined in studio by Pastor Alan DiDio, whose radical encounter with Jesus launched him into a lifelong mission to understand and teach the truths of Bible prophecy. What began with a powerful dream just days after his salvation, standing in a field as a storm brews and a clock strikes 11:59, became the catalyst for a 25-year journey into the most controversial and misunderstood event in eschatology: the Rapture. Together, Tony and Pastor Alan confront the confusion, mockery, and division surrounding the Rapture, both inside and outside the Church. They tackle biblical patterns of supernatural disappearances, the reality of glorified bodies, the parallels between Enoch and modern believers, and why the disappearance of millions will be more than a sci-fi headline, it will be a tipping point for human history. They also address the dangers of spiritual apathy, red-pilled pride, and the false security many Christians place in end-times theories rather than the Word itself.
