You won't believe the showdown in Exodus 7—Pharaoh's magicians try to match God's power, only to be hilariously swallowed up in defeat.Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul examines the serpent-sign confrontation, the real-but-limited power of evil, and the absolute sovereignty of a God whose plans cannot be resisted.To hear more of these studies from Exodus, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.

Family issues seem to often come up around the time of the holidays. Instead of growing more bitter towards one another, God calls us to love each other and to make things right. While we can't control others, we can take responsibility for ourselves and do what we can to make peace.

Jeremiah 33:1–16 (Listen) The Lord Promises Peace 33:1 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard: 2 “Thus says the LORD who made the earth,1 the LORD who formed it to establish it—the LORD is his name: 3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against the siege mounds and against the sword: 5 They are coming in to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill them2 with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down in my anger and my wrath, for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil. 6 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security. 7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and rebuild them as they were at first. 8 I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. 9 And this city3 shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it. 10 “Thus says the LORD: In this place of which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,' in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again 11 the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD:   “‘Give thanks to the LORD of hosts,    for the LORD is good,    for his steadfast love endures forever!' For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the LORD. 12 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be habitations of shepherds resting their flocks. 13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, flocks shall again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD. The Lord's Eternal Covenant with David 14 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.' Footnotes [1] 33:2 Septuagint; Hebrew it [2] 33:5 That is, the torn-down houses [3] 33:9 Hebrew And it (ESV)

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251208dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Matthew 3:1-2 Something Has Got to Change Something has got to change. Have you ever thought that? You might have thought that about your marriage or your relationship with your kids. You probably have thought that about your job or a working relationship with a coworker. At some point in your life, you have probably said that about something going on in government. Something has got to change. I would suspect, however, that when we’ve had this thought, often, we think this change should happen in someone else. Someone else needs to be fixed. Someone else needs to turn things around. After all, wouldn't the world just be better if everyone thought like I do and did things my way? But before we try to change everyone else, it might be helpful if we first look in the mirror and see if there are things about ourselves that need to be changed. That's really the message that God teaches us through the voice of John the Baptizer. If you had to summarize, John’s whole message, it would be this: repent. Repentance has two parts: 1) to acknowledge shortcomings, failures, and guilt, and then 2) to turn to Jesus and find forgiveness. You and I can’t change the hearts of other people. But God can and does change our hearts! Through the voice of John, God is calling for you and for me to look at our own lives and be honest about where we fall short, where we have done wrong, not just against others but against God. But in that call to repentance, God beckons us to lift our eyes to see the Savior who has forgiven us of our faults! That’s what Jesus has done for you! You don’t have to live in shame or fear for your faults. No, Jesus has paid for them with his sacrifice! Recognize your guilt but turn to Jesus and find that peace of forgiveness! Prayer: Dear God, I am broken and am truly sorry for my sin. Thank you for sending me my Savior who loves me and forgives me. Continue to help me daily repent and see the peace which Jesus brings.

December 7 | Sermon Snapshot by Christ Covenant

Our Lady's sanctity is highlighted in the feast of the Immaculate Conception. This feast underlines the fact that Our Lady is full of grace. In our own lives, we are given a choice whether to live by nature alone or to be open to God's grace. To accomplish this, we should strive to prepare ourselves for every sacred act we wish to perform or that God will ask of us based on our station in life. We must be ready for it if we wish to receive our Lord's grace.

By feeding the 4,000, Jesus showed us how to say yes to compassion. Never just a feeling, compassion is an internal reaction that leads to external action. Jesus' compassion was followed by action. We are to live lives marked by active compassion. Mark 8:1-10 Speaker: Bryson Koch

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251207dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion [Jesus told the people] many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear.” Matthew 13:3-9 Planting Seed Songwriters have used it. Thinkers have used it. Investors have used it. Even Jesus Christ used it. Used what? They used the picture of planting seed to make a point. Jesus told a story about planting seed to teach us when we hear and learn the Word of God, seed is planted in our hearts. Seeds need time to grow. In springtime, when gardens are first planted, there's not much to see. Yet, as every gardener knows, when it comes to seeds, it takes time. As sunlight warms the moist earth where seeds are embedded, seeds take time to sprout and grow. Sometimes people rarely attend a church and give little attention to the Word. God’s seed has little opportunity to take root. Sometimes people go to worship regularly so that the seed of God’s Word starts to grow, but then they let the cares of life crowd out time and attention for the Word, and so the plant of faith in their hearts gets the life choked out of it. Sometimes a wonderful thing happens. A person gladly hears and learns the Word of God and puts it into practice. And the seed of God’s Word grows. And keeps growing. The plant of faith which the seed of the Word produces is made strong by God’s complete forgiveness won by Jesus. It flourishes under God’s unconditional love, given in Jesus, and is made resilient by heaven’s guarantee paid for by Jesus. Are you that person? Prayer: Dear Lord, plant the seed of your Word in my heart and make it grow into a fruitful plant of faith to give you glory. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Pastor Luke Simmons dives into the parable found in Luke 18, exploring the challenging yet essential role of persistent prayer in the life of a believer.In this sermon, part of the "Jesus Stories" series focusing on parables from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Luke discusses the misconception that faith should be formulaic and predictable, contrasting it with Jesus's call to constant prayer and trust in God's timing and justice. Through reflections on helplessness, the fight of faith, and the assurance of God's deep concern for us, Pastor Luke encourages believers to embrace prayer as a vital connection to God's kingdom and presence.Join us as we learn how to always pray, strengthening our faith as we wait for His return.**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Luke 2:25-32Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,    you may now dismiss your servant in peace.For my eyes have seen your salvation,    which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles,    and the glory of your people Israel.”

Mark Booker | Exodus 20:2-17 | This sermon provides an introduction to the Ten Commandments that God spoke to Moses and the Israelites at Sinai and shows their relevance for disciples of Jesus.

Full Gospel Center's Pastor Rick Leonardi preaching the message "Gospel of John - Part 39" on 12/07/2025 referencing John 11:17-27.

Aaron LeDuc – Luke 20:9-18

David Leventhal teaches from Matthew 13:44–46, where Jesus presents two parables that reveal the surpassing worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a cultural moment saturated with commercialism, Jesus calls us to see Him as the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value—the One who brings true joy, identity, and freedom. We explore why commercialism has such a strong pull, how these parables dismantle the lie of "not enough," and what it means to reorient our lives around Jesus. You'll also be equipped with reflection questions to help you slow down and behold Christ during the Christmas season.

Sermon by Andrew Flowers on December 7, 2025.Key scripture: John 13:1–17, Philippians 2:5-7, 1 John 1:9Jesus, knowing the cross was hours away, bent low to serve, even the one who would betray Him. In John 13, we see not just an act of love, but a pattern for how His grace transforms our posture toward others.

The sermon from Populus Zion (commonly known as the Second Sunday in Advent) by Pastor Atkinson.

This sermon addresses the deep ache for "home" we feel during the holidays—a longing for the permanent and perfect that the world cannot satisfy. This desire points to the central theme of Scripture: Emmanuel, God with us. This is not just a Christmas slogan; it is the entire storyline of the Bible, from the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem.Scripture ReferencesGenesis 1-3: Eden, the first temple where God walked with humanity.Exodus 25:8 & 29:45: God commands a sanctuary be built so He may dwell among His people.1 Kings 8:10-11: The glory of the Lord fills Solomon's Temple.John 1:14: "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."1 Corinthians 3:16: "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?"Revelation 21:1-27: The New Creation, where God dwells with man permanently.Key PointsThe Journey of God's Presence The Bible traces God's dwelling place through history:Eden: The original design where God walked with man.The Tabernacle/Temple: "Mini-Edens" where God's glory dwelt, guarded by boundaries.Jesus: The true Temple; God in the flesh.The Church: Today, the Holy Spirit fills believers. We are the temple of God.New Creation: The final stop where heaven and earth merge, and there is no temple because God's presence is everywhere.You Are a Priest on Duty Just as Adam was called to "work and keep" the garden, and priests were called to minister in the temple, believers are a "priesthood" called to keep and cultivate the presence of God. Every believer houses the Holy Spirit and has a ministry to the Lord that will last forever.Longing for Home is Longing for God Our holiday homesickness is actually a spiritual longing for the New Creation. Earthly pleasures are just appetizers (or "little pink spoons") meant to arouse our desire for the real thing: face-to-face communion with God.ConclusionWe are currently living as temples of the Holy Spirit, the "embassies" of the coming Kingdom. The next event on God's timeline is the return of Christ and the establishment of the New Jerusalem, where we will finally be "home" with Him forever. Until then, our purpose is to house and cultivate His presence in a world that desperately needs Him.Calls to ActionCultivate His Presence: Ask yourself, "How am I tending to the presence of God in my life?" Make time for "face time" with Him amidst the holiday busyness.Be Filled with the Spirit: Instead of being filled with wine, fear, or greed this season, intentionally ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).Clean House: Remember you are God's temple. If there are habits or thoughts that grieve the Spirit, clean them out to honor His presence. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.
