This bonus episode of the Podcast is on the Covenant Prayer used by John Wesley, Methodism's founder. Retired Bishop Larry Goodpaster leads us in a conversation about this classic prayer which challenges us to surrender to God's will and continue to seek to live a faithful Christian life. John Wesley and the people called Methodists used this prayer both then and now as a way to help us to focus on the New Year ahead of us and on our relationship with God.A special thanks to Bishop Goodpaster and we hope that you'll join in for worship at Oak Grove in 2026 as we begin a new series called “Methodism: This is the Way,” which will focus on the core teachings of the Methodist faith.

Matthew's genealogy moves through generation after generation of broken people, surprising names, and flawed kings. Then, at the very end, everything changes: “and Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.” For 42 generations, the story had been built toward this moment. As we head into a New Year, we remember that all the sin, shame, and struggle carried through that family line led to a baby born in Bethlehem—God with us. Worship not only the child in the manger but the Savior on the throne and take your place in the family story He came to write.
We conclude our Advent series "The Gift" with a candle-light service this Christmas Eve.What is the most important event you were late for?Let's connect! Text "connect" to 513-216-9896 or click the link below: https://connect-card.com/41p3h89OBidharwIMUHR

Traditional Worship 12/21 - The Thrill of Hope- He Will Save His People from Their Sins - Rev. Laura Johnson Advent 3 -The Thrill of Hope- He Will Save His People from Their Sins Joseph was faithful. He didn't want to humiliate Mary, but then the angel came to him. And Joseph learned that this child within Mary would save his people from their sins. What a promise of hope–salvation is coming! Isaiah 7:10-16 (NRSV) and Matthew 1:18-25 (NRSV) A Thrill of Hope: There are seasons of life when hope feels hard to come by. Will it get any better? Will things ever change? The good news of Advent rushes upon us with a thrill: Yes! There is hope! Join us this season as we wait for the thrill of hope in the coming of Jesus.

As we approach Christmas, we remember not only the baby in the manger but also the long story that led to His birth. Jesus' genealogy reminds us of kings—some faithful, some faithless. Hezekiah shone as a bright light, tearing down idols and trusting God to deliver His people. But his son, Manasseh, would become one of the darkest rulers in Judah's history. The line of Jesus carries the scandal of kinds like Manasseh to remind us that the Messiah was born not in a sanitized family tree, but in one filled with rebels and prodigals—because He came for sinners like us.

Matthew continues to highlight the messy ancestry in Jesus' genealogy. He names Ruth, a Moabite whose people descended from an incestuous relationship, reminding us that even those considered outsiders or accidents are fully included in God's plan. When he presents Solomon, he mentions that his mother was “Uriah's wife,” reminding everyone of his father David's adultery and his orchestrated murder. He wants us to know that Jesus came not in spite of sinners but through them.
