Pastor Andy Cass Blessing in the Kingdom is never the finish line; it's the starting point. The question isn't if God has given, but how we will respond. Will we live like winners who steward what God has entrusted, or like takers who believe the lie that there's never enough? TEXT: Luke 19:1–5, 8–13; Luke 12:48, Matthew 4:8–10 NOTES: Zacchaeus encounters Jesus and responds with generosity and restoration. Blessing is not luck, success, or entitlement—it is responsibility. If God is a giver, then we are His servants. God gives; Satan takes. -God gives truth, Satan takes truth and replaces it with lies -God gives abundance, Satan takes contentment and creates scarcity -God gives unconditionally, Satan is transactional Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

December 21, 2025. Pastor Zach Vaughn. www.machiasvalley.org   Text: Luke 2:29-32   Sermon Points: 1) Cling to God's promises by faith in the waiting. 2) Salvation is found solely in the person of Jesus. 3) Christmas is a global invitation to a dark world. 

Text: Luke 2:21-38Christmas is easily the most popular yet underestimated holiday in the Christian calendar. In one breath, it's easy to say that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, but in the next be completely unmoved by why the events around His birth matter for us in everyday life. So what is Christmas truly all about and why does it matter in our lives today? Come visit us in person!

Title: Call His Name Jesus (Pt 2) Text: Luke 1:26-38 You can also view the service at ECC's Facebook Page or download our church app (Evangelical Christian Church - Waterbury) if you haven't already. Would you please help us out in sharing this information especially with those who are not online. Remember the church is not a building, ~it's the people of God, ~filled with the presence of God, ~set apart to do the works of God. Christ has enabled us to do that in the world and not primarily in a building. Remember the golden rule during this time of uncertainty. Let's use this time to advance the purposes of God and stay connected with each other. Romans 8:28, Pastor Paul Heidt

In Luke 2:1–20, Caesar thinks he's running the world… but God is running the timeline. A decree, a journey, a manger, and none of it is random. The King didn't miss the palace by accident. He chose the trough, so nobody has to wonder if they're “too messy” to come to Him.If God can move empires to place Jesus in Bethlehem, He can align the details of your life. Stop managing your image. Start admitting your need. And like the shepherds, let's go to Bethlehem and see.

Text: Luke 2:1-20Speaker: Pastor Wyatt GholsonTitle: The Wonder of Christmas

Speaker: Senior Pastor Brian Charland"Joy in the Messiah"Text: Luke 1:26-33Jonesboro Heights Baptist Church316 W Main St.Sanford, NC

Pastor Andy Cass 'Tis the season of noise—commercials, carols, wrapping paper, and endless hustle. But what if the greatest miracle of Christmas isn't found in the noise… but in the silence? In this Christmas message, Pastor Andy explores the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1, reminding us that sometimes God speaks loudest when we finally stop to listen. Big Idea: Silence is not the absence of sound. Silence is the space where God is invited to speak. TEXT: Luke 1:5–23, Galatians 6:9, Habakkuk 1:2, Mark 4:38–41, 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21, Luke 19:40 NOTES: The Problem: We are surrounded by noise—audible and internal—that muffles the most important voices in our lives. The Plan: Turn down the noise and create space to hear God. Practical Steps — How to Set Up Silence: Keep work at work. Shut off the screens. Try one weeknight with no TV or phone. No-phone zone. Leave your device overnight. Pause social media. Open your doors. Invite someone over—build connection. Make a memory. Do something simple and meaningful. Schedule silence. Set a time to be still and listen. Faith Formation Plan: Calm the Storm: Invite Jesus to quiet your chaos (Mark 4:38–41). Sit in Silence: Learn the art of listening—faith and doubt can both lean in. Raise Your Praise: If you stay silent, creation won't (Luke 19:40).

When a priest named Zechariah received word that he and his wife would have a baby in their very old age, he simply couldn't believe it.  Despite his unbelief, God had a plan for that child to prepare the way for Jesus and declare that He is the Lamb of God who takes away our sin.  When we look at Christmas, we are faced with the same question that Zechariah wrestled with: will we believe what God says is true?

Join us as we conclude another Liturgical Year with the celebration of Christ our King! Text: Luke 23:33-43

It has often been said that prayer is the greatest force in the universe. And yet, it remains a largely untapped resource for so many Christians. Why is that?There are a lot of reasons why we don't pray, but I think they can be summarized under two headings:  We don't know how it works. It feels very unnatural to talk to someone I can't actually see and whose voice I've never literally heard.  We don't think it really matters. We take a fatalistic view. “If it's supposed to happen, it'll happen, whether I pray or not.” In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable that addresses the issue of prayer straight-up. The story has two main characters: a widow and a judge. Widows in Jesus' day were vulnerable. Unless she had a son to take care of her, she was without resources, power, or connections. In Jesus' story, this widow was being harassed by an adversary, so she took her case to the local judge, seeking relief.Unfortunately, the judge in this story was a hard-hearted man. He didn't fear (respect) anyone – neither man nor God! When the widow came to him, he dismissed her. But she wouldn't give up. She kept pestering the judge over and over again until finally, the judge threw up his hands and said, “I can't take it anymore. Give her what she wants!”Now, most people read this story and think... we're like the widow—defenseless and weak. And God is like the judge! He's super busy and doesn't have time to bother with little people like me and my little problems. So, the moral of the story is… it pays to pester! The more I pester God in prayer, the more likely He'll finally cave in and give me what I ask for!Friends, that could not be further from the truth. This parable is not an allegory. It is a beautifully crafted study in contrasts! Jesus' point is, if this sort of judge gives this sort of help to this sort of person, how much more will your Father give all kinds of help to you?  And in so doing, He gives us three prerequisites we need to understand if we hope to keep praying and not give up. 1.     We need to understand our identity.Some of us see God as Oz the Terrible. Like Dorothy and her friends, we tremble before Him. But for those who have come to faith in Christ, the King of the Universe is our Father! And He is thrilled with your presence and delighted to hear of your needs. No one's voice sounds sweeter to God than yours.2.     We need to understand God's inclination.Don't think for a minute that you have to concoct some way to wrench a blessing from some tight-fisted miser.  That just isn't so.  From cover to cover in the Bible, we read of a God who loves to give good things to His children. He delights in it.3.     We need to understand God's invitation.God calls us to talk to Him—to ask, seek, and knock—not just to have our needs met, but that we might enter into a faith partnership with Him.  Text: Luke 18:1-8Originally recorded on August 22, 2004, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Do you identify as a GM guy or Ford lady? An Apple girl, or a Samsung Bro?  Sometimes our identity can become overshadowed by our posessions and we develop a sense of worth based on what we have.  In this sermon, Pastor Fikre Prince shares that there is a very real danger in the way many of us live, and our response and engagement with THINGS.Text: Luke 12:13-21Sermon Summary:Big Idea: Generosity protects us from being owned by the things we own.Key Question: How do we guard against being owned by our stuff?1.     See the danger. (vv. 13-15)2.     Check your motives. (vv. 16-19)3.     Turn from greed. (vv. 20-21)

Everyone knows that money can bring significant struggles. If we lack - we struggle. It's also possible to struggle even when you have enough. Jesus warns us to build in guardrails when it comes to money - because greed and a lack of contentment will destroy you. Text: Luke 12:13-34 Speaker: Aaron Patton
