Scripture: Luke 2:21-40The Greatest Story SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The central message of Christmas, found in Luke 2:11, is "Christ the Savior is born." Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the promised Messiah, brings hope and peace to the world. This phrase symbolizes Jesus' fulfillment of prophecy, His divine identity as God's Son, and His mission as Redeemer. This is God's story—His master plan. Scene 1: Zechariah and Elizabeth (Luke 1:13-25)Scene 2: The angel, Gabriel, visits Mary in Nazareth (Luke 1:26-38) Scene 3: Joseph's Dream (Matthew 1:18-25) Scene 4: Mary Visits Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-45)Scene 5: Jesus' birth in Bethlehem is witnessed by angels and shepherds (Luke 2:8-20)In Scene 6, Joseph and Mary take Jesus to the temple for purification as required by the law of Moses. Two trustworthy witnesses, Simeon and Anna, who had faithfully walked with God for many years and waited for this child—God's gift—were present. Anna shares the good news of Jesus, and Simeon proclaims, “My eyes have seen Your salvation.” “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation that You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”Luke 2:29-32 Song: He Came Down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPUvf9IhQk&list=RDIEPUvf9IhQk&start_radio=1

As people today we love to anticipate. Christmas trickles into the stores in October, then floods into the stores after Halloween. Many of us had our trees up in November. Then when Christmas finally comes, it is a blur and then its gone. And we are onto the next season. There is a great verse in Luke's story of Christmas where he says: But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.So, this week instead of anticipating the next season, we are going to join Mary in pondering about the Christmas story. What it was like for Mary, and what it means for us as we take down the lights and the tree and look forward to a new year.Scripture: Luke 2:16–19 ESV

What does it mean to truly recognize Jesus?In this final message of our Advent series Come and Behold Him, we turn to the story of Simeon—a man whose entire life was shaped by waiting on a promise personally given by God. In Luke 2, Simeon is led by the Holy Spirit into the temple at just the right moment, where he takes the infant Jesus into his arms and declares, “My eyes have seen your salvation.”This message explores how:Only the Holy Spirit enables true recognition of ChristJesus is revealed as salvation for all people, Jew and Gentile alikeChrist both brings peace and exposes the human heart, dividing and revealing what we truly believeSimeon's encounter reminds us that the Christmas story is not just something to hear—it is something to behold. Christ comforts, confronts, reveals, and redeems. And when we truly see Him, everything changes.Scripture: Luke 2:22–35Waiting ends when salvation is revealed—when the Spirit opens our eyes to behold Christ.#ComeAndBeholdHim #AdventSeries #Simeon #Luke2 #SalvationHasCome #LightOfTheWorld #ChristmasSermon #JesusChrist #GospelTruth

The Pressure Paradox | Finding Joy in a Burnout CultureWe live in a "pressure cooker" culture. From financial stress to the pressure to perform, it often feels like the weight of the world is crushing us. But what if the answer isn't to build thicker skin, but to change what's inside?In this message, Pastor Charlie explores the "Pressure Paradox." Using a surprising lesson from the Mariana Snailfish—a creature that survives crushing depths not with armor, but with internal pressure—we discover how biblical Joy acts as a stabilizer for our souls.In this message, we cover:

Whether life is calm or stressful, joyous or painful, Christmas comes -- just as God is present with us regardless of where we are in our own lives. Scripture Luke 2:1-20

The angel's announcement and the heavenly host's chorus of praise reflect their recognition of His majesty, greatness, and immeasurable worth.And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they (shepherds) were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke 2:9-10The angel announces good news and great joy. The heavenly host glorifies and praises God for the gift of a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. The shepherds hurry to Bethlehem to find the baby lying in a manger, surrounded by a young mother, father, and stable animals."And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them."

Communion & Candlelight Christmas Eve Service December 24, 2025, 3pm, 5pmSermon: What Gift Will You Give Jesus? Scripture: Luke 2: 1-20, Matthew 2:1-12After weeks of watching and waiting for the light, Christmas Eve invites us to step fully into its glow. On December 24, we gather for our Communion & Candlelight Christmas Eve Service as we celebrate the birth of Christ—the Light who has come into the world.In the sermon, “What Gift Will You Give Jesus?”, we will reflect on the familiar yet holy story from Luke 2:1–20 and Matthew 2:1–12, listening again for how God meets ordinary people—shepherds and wise ones alike—and invites each of us to respond. Their gifts were acts of worship, trust, and devotion, reminding us that the truest gifts we bring are our hearts, our lives, and our willingness to follow.As candles are lit and communion is shared, we will remember that Christ's light is not only something we receive, but something we carry into the world.Join us on Christmas Eve as we worship, wonder, and ask anew: What gift will you give Jesus?

Mary: The Lord's Servant | Luke 1:26–56 Christmas is not primarily about how we find God—it's about how God finds us. In this Advent message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we step into the story of Mary, a young woman from an unremarkable town who became part of the greatest story ever told. Through humor, Scripture, and thoughtful reflection, this sermon explores how God works through ordinary lives, unlikely circumstances, and simple obedience. Mary didn't have impressive credentials—but she had a willing heart. And when she said, “I am the Lord's servant,” history changed. If you've ever felt overlooked, underqualified, confused, or unsure whether God could work through you, this message is for you. Advent reminds us that God doesn't rescue the world from a distance—He comes near.

In this series, we're looking at how Jesus comes to us all as hope, peace, joy, and love. In this sermon we talk about how God moves toward us first because He is love and that love should propel us to move toward those on the margins to bring them into the center of the story of redemption, like God did for the shepherds.Scripture: Luke 2:8-20

To ordinary workers in a silent field, heaven bursts forth with the announcement of Jesus' birth: “Good news of great joy for all people.” The message transforms their fear into joy, sending them running to witness the newborn Savior. The shepherds respond by glorifying God and sharing what they had seen and heard. Their joy becomes proclamation. Advent invites us into the same response, letting the good news interrupt our routines and overflow into praise and witness. Scripture: Luke 2:1–20

In Luke 1:45, it is written: “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfil his promises to her!” Mary's joy came from her trust in God's promise. This Christmas, may we find our joy in knowing that God's love is faithful and His promises never fail. Even in waiting, even in uncertainty—joy is born when faith takes root. As we move through Advent, may our hearts, like Mary's, be open to saying “yes” to the promises of God. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:46-55SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. A prayer of praise from the biblical Gospel of Luke, where Mary "magnifies" or glorifies God for His power, mercy, and faithfulness. The focus is on God's greatness, with Mary exalting Him for choosing her to bear the Messiah and for His promise to lift the humble and lowly while bringing down the proud and rich. And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. Behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.” Luke 1:46-49 Mary's soul praises and magnifies God's greatness and His plan for the world through her submission, even amid her confusion. The Magnificat encourages believers to praise God and join in His work of reconciliation and restoration in all aspects of our lives. We see God as He truly is—exalted and above all. He is mighty, and His name is holy!SONG: "The Song of Mary | The Magnificat in Aramaic and English" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJRX946AGg&list=RDEsUWG2axB3w&index=18

Joy doesn't just happen, our hearts have to be tuned to it. In this third week of Advent, Karen and Emily talk honestly about how hard it can be to find joy in the middle of exhaustion, family stress, and the very real unmet expectations of the season. Using the picture of tuning an instrument, they unpack how joy comes when we continually refocus our hearts on Jesus, not on our circumstances. If you're longing for a steadier joy this Christmas season, this conversation is for you! Episode Recap:Intro (00:00)Today we're talking about joy (2:10)We have to tune our hearts to joy (4:12)Jesus often becomes a secondary thought in this season (5:55)Remind yourself on a daily basis that this life is not about you, it's about Christ (7:50)Find ways to re-center yourself on Christ this Christmas (10:30)Decide to have NO expectations each day, live with an open hand (11:35)Focusing on God makes the trivial things of this world fade away (16:01)Scripture: Luke 2:10-11 (ESV)“And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”Discussion Questions: When you hear the idea of “tuning your heart to joy,” what stands out to you personally?What tends to pull your focus away from Jesus most during the Christmas season?Can you identify a recent moment where unmet expectations robbed you of joy?What practical practices help you re-center on Christ?How does Mary's response to God's plan challenge the way you respond to interruptions or disappointments?What would it look like to hold your plans and expectations with open hands this season?Resources:Please give today to help us reach more moms with Wire Talk in 2026! boaw.mom/give

The Story: Joy | Christmas Is for EveryoneWhen the angel appeared to the shepherds, the announcement wasn't just good news — it was great joy. And that joy wasn't reserved for kings, scholars, or the spiritually impressive. It was first given to shepherds — the overlooked, the unclean, the exhausted, the lowly.In this Christmas message from Josee Schilling, we're reminded that joy is for everyone. No matter your past, your pain, your position, or your present circumstances, the joy of Christmas meets you right where you are.This message reveals that joy is an act of defiance — evidence that we belong to a different Kingdom. In a world ruled by fear, despair, and striving, Christian joy boldly declares that Jesus is King and that hope has broken in.But ultimately, joy isn't determined by what's happening around you — it's determined by who is with you.The angel's message to the shepherds was the Gospel itself: Jesus has come to make us right with God. And that reality changes everything.In this message, you'll discover: ✨ Why joy is for everyone ✨ Why joy is resistance ✨ Joy isn't determine by what's around you, but who is with you.

Are you struggling to find joy this Christmas season? In this week's message, Pastor Stephen Mizell cuts through the shallow happiness of the holidays to reveal what real joy actually is—and where it comes from. Through the lens of Mary's Magnificat prayer in Luke 1, discover how a teenage girl facing scandal, fear, and uncertainty chose to magnify God instead of her overwhelming circumstances. This isn't a feel-good Christmas message. It's a prophetic declaration that will challenge what you're focusing on in your own life. IN THIS EPISODE: Why joy is not a season, reaction, or outcome—it's a revelation of who God is The surprising connection between magnifying God and experiencing joy How what we ruminate on eventually masters us (including politics, fears, and circumstances) Why Mary's ability to articulate her prayer at 12-16 years old was supernatural The power of remembering God's faithfulness when circumstances press in How traditions and rhythms help us look back and see God's hand in our lives KEY QUOTE: "Joy is not found in what you hold—it's found in who holds you. Real joy is settled confidence that God is present even when life is painful." PERFECT FOR: Anyone feeling overwhelmed by circumstances, struggling to find joy beyond temporary happiness, or needing to remember God's faithfulness during difficult seasons.

This sermon comes from our 2025 Advent series, "Brought to the Light: Advent for All Who Need It." In this series, we're looking at how Jesus comes to us all as hope, peace, joy, and love. In this sermon we look at how joy drove the interaction between Mary and Elizabeth and joy's prophetic message reoriented Mary to what God was doing.Scripture: Luke 1:39-56

DateDecember 14, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we venture into the dark fields alongside the shepherds, discovering that the first announcement of the Incarnation was entrusted to those on the margins. We explore how the angelic proclamation disrupts our fear, revealing a joy that is not a scarce commodity for the pious, but a generous, cosmic invitation for all humanity. This is a story about a God who breaks through the silence to offer a love that is unapologetically inclusive and meant to be shared.Scripture: Luke 2:8–18About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Praise and Adoration. People and Angels.Angels are a key part of the Christmas story, appearing as messengers of God. When Zechariah was ministering in the Holy Place, the angel Gabriel appeared to announce the birth of a son to Zechariah and his wife, Elizabeth (Luke 1:18-19). Once again, the angel Gabriel appears to deliver God's message in the town of Nazareth to a young virgin named Mary. "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary." Luke 1:26-27 Gabriel greeted Mary with an unusual greeting. You are the favored one. The Lord is with you. Luke tells his readers that Mary was deeply troubled."And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:30 Mary was chosen to be the mother of the promised Son. The angel told her that His name would be Jesus. He will be great, Jesus, the Son of the Most High. Mary's response to the God's messenger is an example for all of us today. "And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her." Luke 1:38 SONG: "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" - https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ez6QPDpgzXI

SCRIPTURE- Luke 1: 28-30"And coming to her, he said, ‘Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.' But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.'”REFLECTION- GaryADVENT WORD OF THE DAY - Forgive - Bring to mind someone who has hurt you.

How should Christians view their money and their possessions? We're looking at the Gospel of Luke, because Luke has much to say on this subject. How does God want us to think about money in general? What should our attitude be toward it? How should we relate to giving and spending? In Luke 14, we see two things: 1) Jesus Christ lays out a standard for sacrificial giving that's so astonishing it will seem unreasonable, and 2) Jesus actually shows how reasonable this kind of giving is. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 20, 2010. Series: Money and Possessions – In the Teaching of St. Luke. Scripture: Luke 14:7-24.
