Reading through Luke 2:1-38, we see both God's provision as well as his restraint in the events surrounding the birth of the Messiah. Instead of cluing in the elite and powerful, he worked through shepherds and the elderly to confirm Jesus's destiny to Joseph and Mary. God delights to work with the ordinary to do the extraordinary! Luke 2:1-5 Mary had learned that her child would not be an ordinary boy, he would sit on the throne of David (Luke 1:30-33). Nevertheless, she had to follow the laws of the land, which included traveling while pregnant to be counted in the census. Luke 2:6-7 Ancient houses typically had a space for animals on the first floor. A “manger” is a feeding trough. These were not ideal circumstances from a health and sanitation perspective, yet everything went well. Luke 2:8-12 These shepherds were probably bored watching their flock by night. Seeing an angel and hearing him announce the birth of the Messiah must have been quite the shock! Luke 2:13-14 I get the impression that the angels were bursting with joy at the baby announcement. Rather than keeping it a secret (Luke 9:20-21), they blasted out the good news that the Messiah had been born. Luke 2:15-20 After they found Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in Bethlehem, they recounted what happened, which must have affirmed Joseph and Mary's confidence that this baby really was who they thought he was. Luke 2:21-24 Joseph and Mary followed the commandments of the Torah, including circumcising the child on the eighth day (Lev 12:3), offering the sacrifice for purification on the 40th day (Lev 12:6-8), and paying the redemption fee for a firstborn son (Exod 13:13-15; Num 3:47). Luke 2:25-38 Simeon and Anna confirmed, once again, that this baby was special. He would bring a light to the Gentiles and glory to Israel.

What's the real shift from Advent to Christmas? In this message, Pastor Sean takes us from childhood memories of believing in Santa to the profound truth that God incarnated His Word in human flesh. Discover why the early church fought so hard to preserve the truth about who Jesus really is, and how the same Spirit that filled Christ now indwells believers today. This final Advent message prepares us to receive communion and celebrate the God who crossed the line between heaven and earth to be with us.2 Peter 1:16-21 — Eyewitness testimony and the reliability of prophetic Scripture2 Timothy 3:12-17 — All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for training in righteousnessJohn 1:1-4, 10-14, 17-18 — The Word became flesh and dwelt among usDeuteronomy 6:4-7 — The Shema: Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mightJeremiah 31:31-34 — The new covenant promise: God's law written on heartsJohn 3:16-21, 31-36 — For God so loved the world; light has come into the worldPsalm 40 (referenced) — A body was prepared for the MessiahPsalm 139:23-24 — Search me, O God, and know my heartScripture References

12-14-25 Pastor Sean delivers a no holds barred message issuing a challenge to discover the power of unity with a new depth of revelation. If the opposite of unity is resistance, what are you resisting? And what would submitting to unity bring into your spiritual identity and sphere of influence?

In this powerful message, Pastor Sean Pinder teaches an important lesson about patience and obedience through the early life of Moses. Though Moses was gifted, trained, and clearly called by God, his attempt to act ahead of God's timing led to years of delay and isolation. This teaching reveals how good intentions, when carried out without God's direction, can still lead us off course and into unnecessary struggles.You'll be encouraged to trust God's process, even when you feel ready to move forward. Pastor Sean reminds us that God's promises never fail, but they are fulfilled in His time, not ours. If you've ever felt tempted to force doors open or rush God's plan, this message will help you realign your heart, wait on the Lord, and move only when He gives the signal.

Pastor Sean reflects on recent tragedies, including a tragic murder case and various shooting incidents, contrasting with the joyous Christmas season. Sean offers a compassionate perspective on the events, urging listeners to be peacemakers and to find solace in the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ.00:00 Introduction and Christmas Greetings00:35 Family and Holiday Plans00:49 School Christmas Program Highlights01:54 Sports Talk: Bears vs. Packers03:20 Tragic News and Political Commentary09:16 Acts of Heroism Amidst Tragedy12:17 Being Peacemakers in Troubling Times18:17 Christmas Message and Church Events22:22 Closing Prayer and Final Thoughts

In this eye-opening message titled “Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold,” Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from the sobering story of Israel's defeat at Ai and the hidden sin in the camp. He reveals how something that appeared valuable and desirable brought serious consequences because it violated God's command. This message uncovers the danger of allowing hidden compromise to take root and reminds us that appearances can be deceiving when they are not aligned with God's will.Pastor Sean challenges believers to examine their hearts and walk in obedience, understanding that secret sin never stays secret and always affects more than one person. Through this powerful lesson, you'll be encouraged to choose integrity over temporary gain and to pursue holiness so God's favor and victory can flow freely in your life.

In Living at Peace With Others, Pastor Sean Gasperetti reminds us that while we can't create peace for the whole world, we are called to fight for peace in our own world. Drawing from Romans 12, this message challenges us to refuse revenge, conquer evil with good, and let God's kindness shape how we love even our enemies. True peace, Pastor Sean teaches, flows from being at peace with God and choosing a Jesus-shaped response in a world marked by outrage.

In this episode, Pastoral Intern Micaiah and Pastor Sean discuss Exodus 34:6–7 and Sean's latest sermon: "The Promise of Pardon."

Discover the powerful principles that unlock divine goodwill in “The Protocol of Favor” with Pastor Sean and Pastor Aimee Pinder. In this heartfelt and eye-opening teaching, they explore how favor is not random—it follows a pattern, a posture, and a heart attitude that God honors. Through practical insights and rich biblical reflection, you'll learn how to recognize the moments when God is aligning you with the right people, the right opportunities, and the right assignments to propel you into your next season.This message also uncovers the subtle challenges that arise when God's favor begins to work in your life. Pastor Sean and Pastor Aimee address the jealousy, misunderstanding, and spiritual resistance that can surface when God's hand is evident upon you. Be encouraged as you discover how to remain humble, obedient, and discerning so you can walk confidently in the favor God has placed on your life.

God has graciously provided us with a diverse community of faith. Rather than judging or worrying about our differences, let's strive to love one another. When issues come up, we can work them out rather than dividing. Romans 12:3-8 God just loves diversity. We see this so clearly by looking at how many kinds of fish, or dogs, or flowers he made. Within the church too, we find lots of diversity with respect to gifts. Rather than worrying about differences, let's work together to serve God as a community. Romans 12:9-13 The great key to community unity is love. Rather than thinking of yourself as a spectator or, even worse, a critic, get involved and find ways to contribute to the community of faith. Romans 12:14-18 All groups of people face conflict from time to time. Thankfully Jesus did not leave us without clear guidance on what to do when you're offended (Mat 18:15-17, 21-22). Romans 14:1-6 Some of us are weaker in our faith while others are stronger. We should cut each other some slack and prioritize community over our individual rights. Romans 14:13-20 It's easy to judge one another on secondary issues that are not clearly stated in the Bible. Everyone has their own shortcomings and limitations, which may be quite different than yours. Romans 16:17-19 Divisiveness, however, is to be avoided. The issue is not whether or not you should stay part of the community, but how can you work the issue out that's bothering you in a godly way.

Joseph went through betrayal, hardship, and injustice, yet God's hand remained on his life and opened doors even in the darkest seasons. Pastor Sean explains that when God's favor is upon you, no setback or opposition can hinder His plan.

When everyone else saw a giant, David saw an opportunity to prove the greatness of his God. In this powerful message titled “Ridiculous Faith,” Pastor Sean Pinder dives into 1 Samuel 17:31–51 and unpacks the kind of bold, unshakable faith that defies logic and transforms impossible situations. Just like David, who walked onto the battlefield with nothing but a sling, a few stones, and confidence in the living God, you too can experience victory when you dare to believe beyond what makes sense.

Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from Daniel 6:10–28, the powerful story of Daniel in the lions' den. Even when Daniel faced death for standing firm in his faith, he refused to compromise. His obedience and trust in God opened the door for a supernatural deliverance that stunned his enemies. No matter how impossible your situation looks or how fierce the attack may be, God is still able to rescue, protect, and defend those who are faithful to Him.Pastor Sean reminds you that the same God who shut the mouths of lions is fighting for you today. What was meant to destroy you will become the very thing that showcases God's power and promotes you. When you remain steadfast in prayer and trust, God will step in at the perfect moment. He will come through—not just to save you, but to show Himself mighty on your behalf and turn your test into a testimony.

Pastor Sean Pinder preaches from 1 Kings 1:41–53, where Adonijah's unauthorized celebration is abruptly stopped as the true king, Solomon, is anointed by God. While the enemy may seem to be rejoicing over your situation, his celebration is temporary. The moment God steps in and affirms His promise, everything shifts. What the enemy thought he secured begins to unravel, because when God has already chosen you, no plan of darkness can prevail.Pastor Sean encourages you to stand firm and declare the victory that God has already given you. The devil's party ends when you step into the authority God has placed over your life. Just as Solomon was publicly recognized and enthroned, God is about to elevate you and silence every voice that opposed you. The tables are turning, and the enemy's celebration is coming to an end—because God's favor is rising over you today.

In this powerful message, Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from 1 Kings 1:28–40, where Solomon is anointed king despite all the opposition and political maneuvering around him. Even when others tried to take the throne, God's word prevailed. What God has spoken over your life cannot be overridden by human plans or circumstances. Like Solomon, you may face resistance, but when God chooses and anoints you, He makes a way for His promise to come to pass.Pastor Sean reminds you that the anointing breaks every barrier and accelerates divine purpose. When the oil of God comes upon your life, He positions you, establishes you, and causes favor to surround you. You weren't called to live in defeat—you were anointed to reign in every area God has assigned you to. Get ready to step into your destiny with confidence, knowing that God has already approved what others may try to oppose.

Pastor Sean concludes the series through 2 Peter this week pointing out that while we await the promises of a new heaven and new earth we need to... 1. Be Ready 2. Be Patient 3. Be on Guard 4. Be Growing. How are we doing in those areas?

In today's powerful message, “Forced to Move On,” Pastor Sean Pinder dives deep into Luke 4:16–32, where Jesus returns to His hometown only to be rejected by the very people who watched Him grow up. What happens when the place you expected to be embraced becomes the place that pushes you away? What do you do when God uses rejection as redirection?Pastor Sean reveals how God can use uncomfortable transitions to launch you into your next season. Sometimes the door that closes is the very thing that sets you free. In this sermon, you will learn:

The Blessing of Heeding God's Warning is a powerful teaching by Pastor Sean Pinder from 2 Kings 6:8-23, revealing how God protects His people by giving clear direction and divine warnings. Just as God alerted the prophet Elisha to the enemy's plans, He still guides His children today—shielding them from danger, exposing the traps of the enemy, and leading them into supernatural victory. Pastor Sean shows how listening to God's voice can save you from unnecessary battles and position you under His covering.In this inspiring message, you will learn the importance of staying sensitive to the Holy Spirit and trusting God's guidance even when circumstances seem overwhelming.

In this powerful message titled “You Are Not Above Correction,” Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from Hebrews 12:6-11 to remind you that God's correction is not rejection—it's proof of His love. Just as a loving father disciplines his child, God shapes, molds, and guides you through seasons of discomfort so you can grow into the person He destined you to be. His correction is never meant to break you, but to build you, strengthen you, and draw you closer to His perfect will.No matter what you're facing today, God is working for your benefit. Pastor Sean encourages you to embrace God's discipline with humility and trust, knowing that it produces righteousness, maturity, and peace.
