I met a woman recently who had decided to walk away from faith in Jesus because the man she loved didn't have the same relationship with God. As the years had gone by, her husband had been abusive to her and her children; she finally left him. She realized she needed to come home to her Heavenly Father. There is a verse in the Bible, written by an ancient prophet named Isaiah, in chapter 50 that perfectly describes her decision. He says, “… watch out, you who live by your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires." The result "... you will fall down in great torment.” Yet, after years of struggle, this broken woman received grace. She told me that now she would begin a new life walking with Jesus. We are always welcomed home; the Father is waiting with open arms. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 50:11 radio.hopewithgod.com

When we picture Christmas, we often think of a baby wrapped in cloth, lying in a wooden manger. But that moment of new life points forward to another moment. So different—it's the cross. In the Bible, God's ancient book of truth, a prophet named Isaiah wrote a prediction about the savior that would come…Jesus. Isaiah said this, “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so that we could be whole. He was whipped so that we could be healed.” This Christmas, as you think about the birth of Jesus, consider also the cross. The baby born in Bethlehem grew up to be the Savior. He loves you more than you can imagine. Welcome Him into your life. You can say, “Jesus, I believe that You came for the salvation of the whole world, and also for me. Forgive me. Help me to know You and follow You into eternal life.” Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 53:5 radio.hopewithgod.com

Have you seen a tree that's been chopped down to a stump? It looks like nothing good could grow there again. That's the picture the prophet Isaiah used long ago when he promised these words: “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.” God's people felt hopeless. And then, on that first Christmas night in Bethlehem, Jesus was born. He was—and is—the promised King. But unlike earthly rulers, He came to serve, He came to love, He came to give His life so that we could be made new. Christmas is for you! Christmas is a reminder that new life is possible through Jesus. Will you ask Him for it? Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 11:1 radio.hopewithgod.com

Have you ever wished for just a day of peace? People everywhere long for peace. And centuries ago, the prophet Isaiah made this promise about Jesus: “For a child is born to us, a son is given. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” For generations, people clung to these words while living through war and struggles, and disappointments and loss. And then Jesus was born. He came to make peace between us and God. And to bring peace into our troubled lives. He is still alive today! You can pray with me: “Jesus, I need Your peace. Help me to trust You and follow You. Amen.” Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 9:6 radio.hopewithgod.com
A prophet named Isaiah said this, these words, long before Jesus was born: “For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.” At last—Christ was born. That ancient promise came true as a tiny baby, full of life. Jesus wasn't a symbol that faded in history—He was real, living among real people, teaching them how to love, healing broken lives, and showing them the way to a repaired relationship with God. Today, you may feel lost, unseen, or surrounded by shadows. Jesus is the light who does not fade. He knows your heart, He loves you so much, and He invites you to walk in His light. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 9:2 radio.hopewithgod.com
Date: November 30, 2025 Speaker: Rev. Jason Coker Scripture: Isaiah 2:1–5 Welcome to the first week of Advent at The Collective Table. In this episode, Co-Lead Minister Jason Coker explores the season's first theme: Hope. We often think of hope as a childish wish for magic—like the anticipation of Santa Claus on Christmas morning. But what happens when we grow up and face the inevitable disillusionment of the world? Jason guides us through the journey from "childish naiveté" through adolescent cynicism, and finally into what philosopher Paul Ricoeur calls a "Second Naiveté"—a mature, chosen hope that believes in peace even when the world is at war. Drawing from the prophet Isaiah, we look at the radical vision of a God who teaches wisdom rather than conquest, and an invitation to turn our swords into plowshares right here and now. Key Takeaways: The Evolution of Hope: Moving from the "childish magic" of believing in Santa Claus to the "adult magic" of realizing we are loved by people who truly see us. Tribal Warrior vs. Universal Teacher: How Isaiah 2 shifts the image of God from a tribal chieftain of war to a universal source of wisdom and instruction. The Second Naiveté: Overcoming cynicism not by forcing God's hand, but by choosing to believe in goodness and righteousness despite the evidence around us. Walking the Talk: A celebration of the Oceanside Sanctuary community's 150th Anniversary and a reminder that our actions provide the evidence that this "naive" hope is real. Memorable Quotes: "When you go and try to conquer on that God's behalf, you have fundamentally said you do not believe in a God of goodness and righteousness and peace." "We can be the evidence for the rest of the community... that this naive hope is worth believing." Resources: This Podcast is a production of The Oceanside Sanctuary.

Are you in a season of sorrow? You know, it's okay not to be cheerful all the time. In fact, Jesus experienced deep sorrow Himself. These are the words of the prophet Isaiah, which he spoke centuries before Jesus would come to walk the earth: He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief… Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. So, this means that Jesus knows how you feel when you experience pain…because He experienced it Himself. You don't have to bear the burden of sorrow or grief on your own. He will lift the heaviness off your shoulders. Pray with me: God, I need You to help me to carry this heaviness and this grief. You know the depths of my pain. And I invite You to come into my heart and take over with Your love and with Your comfort. Thank You. Always remember, there is hope with God.

Are you a caregiver? Maybe you have children who rely on you to keep them safe, loved, and healthy. Maybe you're taking care of a parent or relative. Or maybe you just have friends who depend on you for support. If that's you, I have an important question for you today… Who takes care of you? There is someone who thinks about you all the time. Who loves you on your good days, and your worst days. Who cries with you every time you cry. The book of Isaiah in the Bible holds a message of promise for you. Today, God says… See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. God is the one who made you, He loves you, and He knows you even better than you know yourself. Will you let Him be your caregiver? Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 49:16 radio.hopewithgod.com
Are you a wanderer? My name is Wendy, and my name actually means “wanderer”. Growing up I had deep discontent—always looking for something else, always wanting what I didn't have. I was filled with fear and depression, anxiety; there's nothing quite as frightening as being lost. Until I encountered the amazing King and Savior, Jesus, who said: “All, like sheep, have gone astray, each has turned to their own way, but God laid on HIM (that's Jesus) the sin of us all.” And He also said, “I'm the good shepherd. Who leaves the 99 sheep to go for the one lost sheep.” Have you wandered? Come home— let yourself be found by the Shepherd. Always remember, there is hope with God. This is Wendy Palau. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 53:6 radio.hopewithgod.com
Are you weighed down from carrying the weight of sorrow? Sorrow can make us angry and bitter, and full of self-pity. We can end up moving through the world without hope. The prophet Isaiah, in the Bible, beautifully proclaimed what Jesus would do centuries before it happened: He took up our sickness, and He carried our sorrows. When Jesus went to the cross, He didn't just see our sorrow or have compassion on our sorrow, or even wasn't just with us in our sorrow. He carried our sorrow. He actually became a man of sorrows so that He could lift sorrow from us. Do you know this about Him? Are you ready to give Him your sorrow? You can, today! Always remember, there is hope with God. This is Wendy Palau. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 53:4 radio.hopewithgod.com
We are made for beauty. It drives us—our urges, our longings. We love beautiful things. We love new babies, and new cars, and beautiful forests, and mountains, and rivers. There is a type of beauty that takes us past the surface-level longing. The prophet Isaiah, from the Bible, tells us that Jesus had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him. He put His beauty—His glory—aside so that we could see what real, eternal beauty looks like. So that we could see that, even in our brokenness, we can be beautiful—that He alone can make beauty out of the ashes of our lives. Are you longing for beauty in your life? Always remember, there is hope with God. This is Wendy Palau. Scripture Reference: Isaiah 53:2 radio.hopewithgod.com
