In a world often filled with darkness, the birth of Jesus is God's radiant reminder that light has come—and that light lives in us. Join us as we dive into our Christmas sermon series entitled Arise & Shine: The Christmas Story. Christmas is the story of His illumination and the invitation for us is to arise and shine!

Today, Pastor Michael Acock speaks in part 1 of our Advent series, Awakening Joy: Emmanuel in the Shadows. What if the darkest moments of our lives could become the very places where joy begins to stir? In this powerful message, Pastor Michael invites us to "wake up" to God's presence in the shadows of Advent. Drawing from Matthew 24 and Romans 13, he illuminates how Christ meets us in our pre-dawn hours - those spaces of uncertainty, grief, and waiting. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way.

The First Christmas Tree Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Genesis 3:1-15 In part 1 of our Christmas 2025 series, Pastor Michael explores the surprising connection between Christmas trees and the Garden of Eden. Through historical research, he reveals that Christmas trees aren't pagan but originated from medieval "Paradise Trees" used in Adam and Eve plays. The real first Christmas tree was in Eden, where God made the first promise of a Savior who would crush the serpent's head. Key Points - Christmas trees originated from medieval Paradise Trees used in biblical plays, not pagan traditions - The serpent in Eden was Satan himself, whispering the same lies he still whispers today - Genesis 3:15 contains the first promise of Jesus - the "Protoevangelium" or "First Gospel" - Jesus would be wounded (crucified) but would crush Satan's head in permanent defeat - The deadly power of sin began with a tree in Eden and ended with the tree of the Cross Main Takeaway From the first sin, God promised a Savior. The Christmas story doesn't start in Bethlehem - it starts in Eden with God's original commitment to crush evil and redeem humanity. There is no John 3:16 without Genesis 3:15. Memorable Quotes - "From the first sin, God promised a Savior." - "The first Christmas Tree goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. And it wasn't decorated with a star. It was decorated with a snake." - "God's not interested in holding us back from good things; only from things that will ultimately be destructive." - "What Jesus offers is not a better kind of religion. Jesus does the work, because we can't save ourselves." - "Christmas isn't just a Baby in a manger. It's God declaring war on every lie that has ever strangled your heart." - "The deadly power of sin began with a tree and ended with a tree. It began with the Tree in the Garden, and ended with The Cross of Christ." Reflection Question What lies is the serpent still whispering to you, and will you choose to believe God's promise of a Savior instead? Tune in to hear the fascinating historical origins of Christmas trees, why aluminum foil stars and Bigfoot ornaments belong on trees, and how Genesis 3:15 is the first promise of Christmas ever given.

The Habit of Happy People Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Episode Summary In this second Thanksgiving week message, Pastor Michael vulnerably shares his recent struggle with ingratitude and stress that led to chest pain and an ER visit. Through 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he discovers that the command to "give thanks in everything" isn't about pretending life is okay - it's about trusting God no matter what happens. Gratitude isn't just better than ingratitude; it's what transforms our hearts and lives. Key Points - "Give thanks IN everything" means being thankful no matter what happens, not FOR everything that happens - God doesn't cause painful things, but He can bring good out of anything that happens - Thankfulness is God's will for us because it's genuinely good for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health - The real question: Do we worship God, or do we worship the idea that God owes us an easy life? Main Takeaway It's not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy. Gratitude changes our perspective, strengthens our faith, improves our health, and transforms our lives. When we choose thankfulness even in difficulty, we tap into a greater truth than our circumstances. Memorable Quotes - "It's not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy." - "Blessings whisper and problems shout." - "With God, the bad stuff is more than just bad; it gets turned into a plot twist that ultimately works out to a greater ending." - "Thankfulness helps us frame everything we experience as being in The Hands of a God Who Loves Us." - "If you think God owes you an easy life, then you're always one traffic jam away from a ruined day." - "Do we really worship God, or do we worship the idea that God owes us an easy life?" - "Happiness is having Jesus and being thankful." Reflection Question Are you living like God owes you an easy life, or are you choosing gratitude even when circumstances are difficult? Tune in to hear Pastor Michael's honest confession about his ER visit, why pumpkin pie counts as breakfast, and how the elders' prayer transformed his perspective on stress and gratitude.

Pastor Michael teaches through Jesus' Kingdom parables—showing the Kingdom as a lost coin, a hidden treasure, a priceless pearl, and a mustard seed that grows far beyond its small beginning. He shares his family's story of coming to New Tribe and how church shifted from something he went to into something he was a part of. He highlights Paul's reminder to Timothy about the faith first found in his grandmother and mother, emphasizing how what we prioritize now becomes what our children will prioritize.

This Sunday he will be discussing: Being Salt and Light Matthew 5:13-16 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Trust The Source Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Luke 17:11-19 Episode Summary In this Thanksgiving 2025 message, Pastor Michael takes us through the chaotic "Grocery Store Gauntlet" to illustrate how we scramble for resources while forgetting the Source behind them all. Through Jesus' healing of ten lepers, we discover that only one returned to thank Him - and he received not just physical healing but spiritual wholeness. This Thanksgiving, don't just enjoy the resources; return to the Source. Key Points - We get caught up in resources (things we use) and forget the Source (where they come from) - Jesus healed ten lepers as they walked in faith, showing that healing often comes as we move forward with God - Ten men received physical healing, but only one - a Samaritan outsider - returned to thank Jesus - The one who returned got healed on the inside, not just the outside Main Takeaway USE the Resource, TRUST the Source. Every good thing in our lives - money, jobs, health, family, material possessions - are resources to use wisely and be thankful for. But our true security doesn't come from resources that can run out; it comes from Jesus, the Source who will never run out on us. Memorable Quotes - "USE the RESOURCE, TRUST the SOURCE." - "Thankfulness doesn't start in your cart — it starts in your heart." - "If your gratitude depends on your resources, it's always at risk; but if your gratitude is based in THE Source, it doesn't matter how much or how little you have." - "So much of the time, healing comes AS WE GO. The Lord brings change to our lives AS WE WALK WITH HIM." - "They all recognized the RESOURCE, but only one recognized THE SOURCE. Ten men used the resource, but only one returned to The Source. They got healed on the outside. He got healed on the inside." - "Resources can run out. Jesus Is THE SOURCE of everything good, and He will never run out on you." Reflection Question Are you living like the nine who used the blessing and moved on, or like the one who returned to thank the Source of all blessings? Tune in to hear Pastor Michael's hilarious "Grocery Store Gauntlet" story featuring grandmothers battling over cranberry sauce, a dad lost in the chaos, and the world's greatest uncle fighting for dinner rolls.

Discover how an unlikely woman became one of history's most effective evangelists and what her story teaches us about sharing faith today. This message explores the powerful account of the Samaritan woman at the well from John chapter 4, revealing how God uses ordinary people to share extraordinary news about Jesus Christ.Learn why every Christian is called to evangelism, not just pastors or trained professionals. Explore the three major lies Satan uses to prevent believers from sharing their faith: feeling not smart enough, not skilled enough, or not good enough. Discover biblical truths that counter these deceptions and empower authentic witness.Key topics covered include Christian evangelism, sharing faith naturally, overcoming fear of witnessing, biblical evangelism examples, personal testimony power, and practical faith sharing strategies. Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, new believer or mature Christian, this message shows how God can use your unique story and relationships to impact others for Christ.The Samaritan woman's transformation from social outcast to effective evangelist demonstrates that God doesn't call the qualified - He qualifies the called. Her simple approach of asking questions and sharing personal experience proves that relationship-based evangelism is more powerful than perfect theology or polished presentations.Discover practical steps for becoming the evangelist God has called you to be, including prayer strategies for non-believing friends and family, natural conversation starters about faith, and ways to use your existing relationships for kingdom impact. Learn how the early church grew exponentially through ordinary believers sharing with their networks, and how the same principle applies today.This encouraging message will help you overcome evangelism anxiety, embrace your identity as a witness, and take practical steps toward sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with those around you. Perfect for anyone who has ever wondered if God really means them when it comes to evangelism.

Not the Boss of Me Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 3:4-7 Episode Summary In part 8 of our 1 John series, Pastor Michael tells the story of Timmy the Tiny, Terrible T-Rex to illustrate our resistance to authority - especially God's. We think refusing to listen to God proves our independence, but it actually proves we're enslaved to our own desires. Through 1 John's teaching, we discover that real freedom isn't doing whatever we want, but wanting what is right because Jesus has set our hearts free. Key Points - Sin isn't just breaking rules - it's living like God's authority doesn't apply to us - Jesus came to remove both the guilt of sin (through forgiveness) and the power of sin (through freedom) - Abiding in Christ means staying connected like a branch to a vine, dependent on Him for everything - Practicing righteousness means your overall life pattern shows you're being shaped by Jesus - Jesus is the standard of righteousness, not comparison with other people Main Takeaway Living like you don't have to listen to God doesn't prove you are independent - it proves you are enslaved to your drives and desires. Real freedom isn't doing whatever you want; it's wanting what is right because your heart has been set free. Memorable Quotes - "Living like you don't have to listen to God doesn't prove you are independent — it proves you are enslaved." - "Sin isn't just messing up. It's saying, 'God is not the boss of me.'" - "Jesus didn't show up just to teach about sin, or even just to expose sin. He came to REMOVE sin." - "Abiding in Jesus isn't really about trying harder. It's about being dependent on Him for everything." - "Real freedom isn't doing whatever you want — real freedom is wanting what is RIGHT because your heart has been set free." - "People reject God's standards of right and wrong because they think it puts them in chains. In truth, it enslaves you to something else." Reflection Question Instead of saying "You can't tell me what to do," do you have the guts and humility to say "God, change me" - and then receive what comes? Tune in to hear about Timmy the Terrible T-Rex, Pastor Michael's legendary childhood mud puddle adventure, and why practicing righteousness is like practicing a musical instrument.
