This message is a rich, Spirit-filled invitation to experience the peace of Christmas—Jesus, the Prince of Peace who meets us not in calm circumstances, but in the chaos of real life. With warmth, humor, and Isaiah's vision in hand, Pastor David helps us see peace not as a feeling to chase, but as a person to follow.From crowded bathrooms and restless legends to wartime kingdoms and crying infants, we're reminded that the peace we long for doesn't come from control or escape—but from forgiveness, obedience, and joining God's redemptive mission. Because true peace isn't found in the absence of conflict. It's found in the presence of Christ.This message explores peace that's possible now through Advent's tension:• Relational peace through forgiveness• Circumstantial peace through obedience• Redemptive peace through missionPeace isn't out there somewhere. Peace is here. Peace is a person. Peace is yours.The heavens have been opened. The light is rising.Wake up. Hope is here.

Healing this world will not take a conquering army but the slow, stubborn growth of peace. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-10Worship guide: https://tinyurl.com/fbcjc12-7p

In this message, we will look to the first of four unique titles given to our Messiah, Jesus Christ in Isaiah 9. In doing so, we will seek to prepare our hearts for His coming arrival, so that we might not look to any lesser deliverers for our hope and redemption.   Scripture: Isaiah 9:6

This message is a stirring, light-breaking invitation to wake up to the real hope of Christmas—Jesus, the one who tore open the heavens and stepped into our darkness. With laughter, honesty, and Isaiah's ancient prophecy as a guide, Pastor David calls us to see Christmas not as cozy nostalgia but as a holy disruption.From red lights to pie-eating contests, from sumo-wrestler hope to Etsy spells, we're invited to examine where our trust really lies. Because the good news isn't that we have to manifest hope—but that Hope Himself has come, and He's not going anywhere.This message explores the promise of Advent incarnate, the process of Advent sanctification, and the future of Advent glorification. It's a reminder that God does His best work in the waiting—and that even in the darkest places, the light of Christ has dawned.The heavens have been opened. The light is rising.Wake up. Hope is here.

For the first week of Advent we learn how Christmas came to be. Scripture Isaiah 9:2Support the show

This Sunday at we launched our new Advent series, “What Child Is This?” and asking a big question, how do we live as hopeful people? From Isaiah's promise that “the people walking in darkness have seen a great light,” we'll discover that Christian hope isn't wishful thinking, but a confident expectation that God will do what He has promised. We explored how hope wakes us up, prepares us for hardship, and trains us to live differently in the light of Christ's coming. Advent is more than counting down to Christmas, it's an invitation to wake up, clear space in our lives, and make room for the Child of Hope. Join us as we learn to wake up to hope, the King is near.Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

We've lost connection with part of what the Bible teaches about sin: that God gets angry at sin. And I'm here to tell you that losing that is a bad thing. In fact, I'll go this far: you need an angry God. If you don't believe in an angry God, a really angry God who hates sin and is going to punish it, you're impoverishing yourself. You're taking away all sorts of hope and humility and love. Isaiah 64 and 65 show us 1) God's anger is not like our anger usually is, 2) you need an angry God if you're going to live in hope, 3) you need an angry God if you're going to live in humility, and 4) you need an angry God if you're going to understand how loved you are.

When people in the West were faced with the atrocities of World War II, the culture's prevailing optimistic views of human nature were devastated. Two questions kept coming up: what's wrong with us that we're capable of this, and what are we going to do about it?  Isaiah 52 to 53 was written to answer those same two questions. It was written to a nation facing exile, to people who were about to face captivity, atrocities, and prison. And it has maybe the most well-known answer in the Bible to the question about human evil: God is sending somebody, the servant of the Lord. In this passage, we learn 1) who he is, 2) why he came, and 3) what he did. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 28, 1999.

In Isaiah 61, we have one of the great prophecies about the Messiah. It tells us the Messiah is going to deal with the problems of life—and that shows us something about sin.  Sin is not just breaking God's scale and breaking God's heart; it's also breaking God's design for us. God's law is also the design print of your heart, the way you were built to work. So when you break God's law, you're trampling on yourself. In Isaiah 61, we can see 1) what the problem is, 2) what God is going to do about it, and 3) how we should respond. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 21, 1999. Series: What's Really Wrong with the World. Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-11.

Sunday morning's message comes from Isaiah 61—the same passage Jesus used to announce His ministry: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor and to bind up the brokenhearted.” The Hebrew word for “brokenhearted,” Leb Shabar, paints a vivid picture of something shattered or crushed to pieces. We all know what that feels like—through loss, guilt, broken relationships, or pain that seems beyond repair. Yet the good news is this: God sent His Son to heal and restore what is broken. Whether we feel whole or hurting, this truth invites each of us to receive His healing and share His compassion with others.Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-3Guest Speaker: Tim Brown

From silly phobias to real panic, fear shows up in parenting all the time. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk about crowds, kids going missing for a minute, and the dread of what could happen when we're not there. Then they walk us into Scripture—Isaiah's “fear not,” Jesus lifting Peter out of the waves, the father begging, “help my unbelief,” and a God who literally carries His people. This one's practical, honest, and full of grace for moms and dads who need to breathe and remember: our kids—and our hearts—are in stronger hands.Resources Mentioned:Good News for Parents by Adam GriffinIsaiah 41:10Deuteronomy 1:31Matthew 14:22–33Mark 9:24 – “Help my unbelief.”Luke 15 – The Father's heart.Matthew 6:25–34Psalms of Lament (starter set) – Fear meets faith.Job (opening) Follow Us:Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteEditing and support by The Good Podcast Co.

This week at Genesis, we're celebrating a new chapter—we're moving! Chris takes us back through our history, highlighting where we've come from so we can better understand where God is leading us next. This move isn't just about a new location, but about carrying forward the heart of Genesis into a new space where God can continue to grow and shape us. We hold onto the promise of Isaiah 54:2: “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.” We believe God is calling us to expand and prepare for the future He has in store.

Isaiah 60 describes the new heavens and the new earth. It's looking to the end of time when God makes everything right—paradise restored. And in this passage, all the nations of the world are bringing their work products.  What is gold and silver? What is the flux and the grain? They're bringing the products of their work to God as offerings to God. And this means that just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise.  What does that mean for our work? Let's notice three things: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2016. Series: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-11, 18-21.

What's described in Isaiah 60 never happened in human history and never can happen in normal human history—and it has much to teach us about how we view our work. Isaiah 60 looks to the end of time when God makes everything right and paradise is restored. And in that restoration, something happens that we often overlook: all the nations of the world bring their work products—their gold, silver, flux, and grain—as offerings to God. Just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise. And so, what does that mean about our work?  This text points to three things about work: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2016. Series: Proverbs: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-11, 18-21.
