This recording is a condensed version of the sermon preached at Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mankato, Minnesota on December 28, 2025. You can watch the full recording on our YouTube Channel. Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 5:1-9 (NKJV) For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. Theme: Christmas Confidence 1. The Hope of Heaven 2. The Guarantee of the Spirit 3. The Eyes of Faith

Synopsis: What happens when godly masculine strength unites with a godly helpmate? In marriage couples are called to live out their roles—husbands as loving, sacrificial covenant heads and wives as respectful, submissive helpers—in dependence on divine grace. A "fruitful" marriage, then, produces spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23), glorifies God, endures trials through faith, and bears lasting kingdom impact, extending beyond the couple to their families and communities. This union, rooted in divine grace and sovereignty, reflects the gospel—husbands as loving, sacrificial covenant heads and wives as respectful, submissive helpers—transforming imperfect relationships into powerful testimonies of redemption. Sermon Text: 1 Peter 3:3-7

In this sermon, Pastor Chan teaches through the various evidences that we have as believers as to whether our faith is genuine.Today's Sermon Text: 1 John 3:1-24Main Idea: 1 John 3 emphasizes the love of God and the importance of living as His children. The chapter highlights God's great love, and the importance of living in purity. The passage warns against sin and contrasts those who live righteously with those who do not. John urges believers to show genuine love for one another in actions, not just words, as love is the defining mark of God's children. The evidence of faith is to keep God's commands, abide in God, and live through the Holy Spirit. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast!
