"So, we're going to challenge our whole church family to go through the Bible this next year using a plan called Core 52. A really sharp Pastor and Bible Prof by the name of Mark Moore -- he is the guy you saw in the video this morning – Anyway, Mark Moore has identified 52 of the most power-packed passages in the Bible … one big idea a week. By the end of 2026 you will have thought through most all of the big ideas of the Bible. It's really cool! One guy describes the plan like this: “Think of Core52 as your “FastPass” for knowing God's Word, by-passing the lines of minutia, pushing you to the front of the biggest ideas of the Bible. It is the quickest route to move someone from curiosity to confidence in mastering the core message of Scripture and shaping a Christian worldview.” Guys, you want to know the Bible better because you know the Bible will make you better. You want that … life to the fullest, that rich and satisfying life, where the yoke is easy, and the burden is light, and you find rest for your souls. If you join us, you are going to be getting into the Word, and, we hope, we believe, the Word will be getting into you. God is really good at working on you through his Word." Stephen "Doc" Pattison, Teaching Pastor

MESSIAH HAS COME — Week 3: Joy • “The Joy Of The True Messiah”What does true joy really look like?In Week 3 of our Advent series “MESSIAH HAS COME,” we turn our focus to Joy—not a temporary happiness based on circumstances, but a deep, lasting joy rooted in who Jesus truly is.Anchored in Luke 2:10, we revisit the angel's proclamation of good news that brings great joy for all people. This sermon invites us to rediscover the joy that comes from recognizing Jesus as the true Messiah—the Savior who brings restoration, hope, and new life.Together, we explore:How all of creation rejoices at the coming King (Psalm 96:11–13)Why rightly knowing who Jesus is matters (Matthew 16:13–16)How joy can be restored, even after failure or loss (Psalm 51:12–13)As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this message challenges us to move beyond surface-level celebration and step into the lasting joy only Christ can give.

What does real joy look like when life still feels heavy?In this episode from The Songs of Christmas, Dr. T explores the meaning behind the beloved hymn Joy to the World by teaching through Psalm 98 and the story of its origin. This message reminds us that joy is not rooted in perfect circumstances, but in the salvation and reign of Jesus Christ.Dr. T shares the powerful story of the 1914 Christmas Eve ceasefire during World War I, when soldiers sang Joy to the World in the middle of war. They were not celebrating because the battle was over, but because hope still existed. In the same way, this sermon invites us to rediscover joy that remains even in seasons of struggle, grief, and uncertainty.This episode unpacks how salvation transforms us internally, why joy is meant to be expressed together in worship, and how God is actively restoring hearts, lives, and ultimately all of creation. If you are searching for meaning, hope, or peace this Christmas season, this message offers a deeper joy that circumstances cannot take away.

Today on the No Regrets Podcast, host Albo Esilaba is joined by Chris Brown, speaker, leader, and Senior Pastor and Teaching Pastor at North Coast Church. Chris shares how his gift for storytelling—once something he lacked confidence in—became one of the most important tools in his ministry and leadership. Chris opens up about the freedom that comes from being fully yourself in leadership. If God has called you, you already have what it takes. Albo and Chris also discuss the importance of churches working together rather than competing, and what true surrender looks like for men and leaders today. They dive into the challenge of being disliked as a leader. Chris talks honestly about becoming a lightning rod in ministry, carrying others' frustrations, and navigating anger directed at you—while remembering that every one of us is broken and in need of grace. Finally, Chris shares his desire to finish strong by empowering the leaders around him. Together, they explore what it means to fade out with strength, pass the baton well, and ensure ministry continues with health and momentum for the next season and the next generation.

Revelation 2:1-7Pastor Hagan York, Next Gen and Teaching Pastor
This week we kick off How We Roll by exploring one of the core values that shapes who we are as a church: We see beauty in diversity. Jesus chose a team that couldn't have been more different—people with clashing backgrounds, beliefs, and stories—and then used them to change the world. This week we'll see how following Him teaches us to look past labels, love beyond comfort, and recognize the beauty in the people around us… even the ones who challenge us most.

Regular listeners to this podcast, or regular readers of MinistryWatch, know that we have spent a lot of time covering Christian education. The reasons for our coverage are many. Christian colleges are among the largest Christian institutions in the country, taking in billions of dollars each year. Secondly, what happens in Christian colleges and seminaries often directly affects the church. So even if you don't have kids in college now, or ever, your life and your church will be impacted by what is going on at Christian and secular colleges in this country. Thirdly, higher education – including Christian higher education – is in the midst of a tremendous transition. Demographics, technology, and a national conversation happening now about the value of a college education are all causing Christian colleges to face challenges they have never faced before. That's one reason I wanted to talk with Dr. Ed Stetzer. Ed Stetzer is the Dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and Scholar in Residence & Teaching Pastor at Mariners Church. He has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches; trained pastors and church planters on six continents; earned two master's degrees and two doctorates; and he has written hundreds of articles and a dozen books. More to the point for our conversation today, he helps lead one of the few institutions of Christian higher education that is growing. I wanted to ask him why, and how, that was happening. Thanks for tuning in today to my conversation with Ed Stetzer. In addition to all the things I mentioned about Ed at the top of the program, he is also Regional Director for Lausanne North America, is the Editor-in-Chief of Outreach Magazine, and regularly writes for news outlets such as USA Today and CNN. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
