Scripture Reading from Exodus 2:23-3:12 ESVSermon by Charles Anderson

The first Sunday of the new year here at Grace Central Coast, we call Covenant Renewal Sunday.  It's a Sunday where we take time to renew our covenant commitment to the Lord and our covenant commitment to one another.  This year, our challenge comes from 1 Samuel 7.  

A New Year Is a Celebration of New Life: God gives us life in days and years, and we return that gift to Him through faithful service. This reflection invites us to begin the year recommitted to defending every human life.

In today's bonus podcast we are reading about the reasons the appointed scripture readings are chosen.

The Antichrist Denies Christ and Human Dignity: The Antichrist denies the divinity of Christ. That same denial leads to rejecting the humanity of others. Abortion flows from this rejection of human dignity.

Through Him Was Life: Christmas Makes Us Prolife - The Gospel proclaims that life came to be through Christ. Christmas forms a prolife people who defend life because God entered human history as man.

Welcoming Life Through Virtue and Self-Giving: The first reading continues to reveal the prolife meaning of Christmas. You are called to embrace virtues that welcome life and reject selfishness that destroys it.

Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and JosephThe simple truth is every family is imperfect. Jesus did not come into an ideal and wealthy household from a human standard standpoint, but into a real family with challenges. Jesus grew up learning, obeying, and depending upon Mary and Joseph. Mary trusted God even when she did not fully understand. Joseph quietly protected, provided, and obeyed God without speaking in Scripture. May our homes become places where love is practiced daily, faith is lived simply, and God is always welcome. Scripture Readings for December 28, 2025Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14Psalm 128:1-5Colossians 3:12-21 Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23

God Came Himself, Christ Is Messiah and Lord: The Midnight Mass Gospel proclaims that Jesus is Messiah and Lord. God did not simply send a messenger. He entered history Himself. Christmas reveals the dignity of every human life.

Christmas Eve and the Gift We Cannot Earn: On Christmas Eve, the Church prays at an empty manger and cries out, Come Lord Jesus. Christ comes with a gift that cannot be created or earned. Salvation is freely given by God out of love.

The Holy Family and God's Plan for Life: The Feast of the Holy Family reveals God's plan for receiving, protecting, and nurturing human life. Family is the first place where life is welcomed and defended.

From the Crib to the Cross: The Witness of Saint Stephen - The joy of Christmas is followed immediately by the martyrdom of Saint Stephen. The crib leads to the cross. Christmas calls you to total fidelity to the truth and love found in Christ.

Scripture Reading from John 14: 1-7 (0:00)Sermon by Jeff Nottingham (0:58)

Christmas Is Light, Abortion Is Darkness: Christmas brings the light of Christ into the world. Abortion represents darkness. Today's reading reveals the prolife meaning of Christmas and the victory of life over darkness.

Fellowship as the Fruit of Christmas: The Feast of Saint John teaches that fellowship flows from Christmas. Communion with Christ strengthens communion with one another and deepens commitment to defending human life.

Christmas and Easter: The second reading makes clear that Christmas is ordered toward Easter. Christ comes for both Jews and Gentiles, and His birth leads directly to His saving sacrifice.

Preparing for the Lord Through Desire and Repentance: The first reading shows that preparing for the coming of the Lord involves more than repentance alone. It also involves desire. Advent forms your heart to long for Christ and to remove anything that blocks that desire as Christmas approaches.

The Magnificat: Mary's Magnificat summarizes the entire Gospel. It reveals the power, mercy, and justice of Christ's coming and shows you how God changes the world through humility.

Born of a Virgin: Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin. This prophecy speaks not only about Mary, but about the Church and about you. God calls you to total devotion.

Fourth Sunday in AdventThe fourth and final Sunday of Advent stands close to Christmas. Today's Gospel centers on St. Joseph, a man faced with an unexpected pregnancy. His response teaches us how God asks us to choose trust over fear, mercy over judgement, and always life, even when the future feels uncertain.Scripture Readings for Sunday December 21, 2025Isaiah 7:10-14Psalm 24:1-6Romans 1:1-7Matthew 1:23
