O Holy Night | Pastor Jeremy Isaacs | Week Two by Generations Church
No matter who you are, what you've lived through, or where you've come from, the story of how God relentlessly pursues us has the power to change our lives. He chose to come down to our messy, broken world, to prove His great love. Rather than us reaching up to heaven, heaven came down to earth. --- In the good and the bad, the mountains and the valleys, God is with you. Tune in to Week Two of God With Us as Pastor Skyler touches on how even when we feel all alone, God is with us, and He gives us hope.

Lead Pastor Alan Cullen
In this week's message, Pastor Randy shows us that hope doesn't tiptoe into our lives — it breaks in right when we're convinced nothing's changing. Week Two confronts the fears that keep us stuck and shines a spotlight on the God who steps into the coldest, heaviest moments with power, clarity, and purpose. If you've been asking, “God, do You still see me?” — this message is your answer.

Advent is a good time to slow down a little, and St. Joseph the Workman shows us what it looks like to stay steady and trust God in the middle of everyday life.In Week Two of A Quiet Light, we focus on St. Joseph the Workman and pray with Matthew 11:28–30—Jesus' reminder that we don't have to carry everything alone. Joseph lived this in a very real way. The word we're sitting with this week? ✨ Rest. The kind of rest that comes from putting things back in God's hands.Our invitation this week is simple: let your daily work become a place to talk to God. Whether you're doing chores, driving, or checking things off your list, bring Him into it. Let Him lighten the load.Don't miss the Cutting Room Floor at the end for some extra stories and moments we couldn't fit into the episode.

Series: Advent in Isaiah - Hope In Our DarknessThe One Who Makes All Things RightIsaiah 11:1-16Pastor Matt Sfura
This Advent sermon focuses on the theme of peace, illustrated as a "two-sided coin". The first side is "peace with God," established through the birth of Jesus and salvation. The second side is the "peace of God," which requires believers to trust God rather than leaning on their own understanding. The speaker emphasizes that biblical peace is not the absence of conflict, but rather the presence of God amidst life's struggles. The message concludes by inviting listeners to find this peace through prayer and faith. Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

ADVENT 2025_week two by EastLake Tri-Cities
The Christmas story is much bigger than our personal traditions and celebrations. Matthew included the wise men in his Gospel not because they were present at Jesus' birth, but to show that this story extends beyond any single community or culture. These foreign kings represent everyone outside our normal circles who long to know God. The birth of Jesus wasn't just for the Jewish people - it was good news for the entire world. This Christmas, we're challenged to look beyond our usual story and include others who need to know there's a Christmas story for them, too.

This week, Cameo talks about how Advent peace is not the absence of struggle but the presence of God with us in every circumstance, as seen through Psalm 23's picture of a shepherd who personally guides, protects, and sustains his people. True peace comes from leaning wholly on God, not escaping the dark valleys but experiencing His nearness within them. In Jesus, the Good Shepherd who entered the deepest valley and rose again, we receive both the promise of God's present companionship and the future fullness of peace when all things are restored.Support the show

Join elder and teaching team member, Tad Fisher as he continues our advent series "Waiting. An Advent Journey Through Isaiah"
The Birth of a King: The King's Earthy Father - Week Two Isaiah 7:10-14, Matthew 1:18-23 Pastor Christopher Ek This Sunday, we step into Joseph's upheaval in Matthew 1, where God forms a courageous heart in the middle of a crisis. We'll see why Matthew calls. Joseph "righteous," and how a different kind of King enters our world through mercy, not power. As we come to the communion table, we'll remember that the same King still meets us with grace in our own moments of uncertainty. www.bethanycovenant.com

Making Room Week Two - Making Room For God To Do Miracles by Pastor Troy Powell
In this series, we explore how the practices of Sabbath rest and simplicity offer a counter-cultural path to freedom in our hurried, overwhelmed world. Through examining biblical principles of rest as an act of worship and rebellion against productivity-driven culture, the series challenges participants to discover that true life isn't found through accumulating more but through letting go and creating space for God.

Welcome back to the Motion Church Podcast. Last week, we uncovered the quiet war inside the human mind — that tension between faith and fear… conviction and compromise… the fractured pull of being double minded. But this week, we go even deeper. Because the battle doesn't end with awareness — it continues in the choices we make, the patterns we repeat, and the thoughts we allow to take root. In the caption file for this week's message, we hear a steady reminder: Your mind is shaping your life more than you realize. And the enemy knows that if he can divide your thoughts, he can derail your purpose. The teaching begins with a challenge: stop giving the wrong voices authority in your life. Stop letting the loudest opinion set the direction of your faith. Stop letting yesterday's pain make today's decisions. Every divided thought, every wavering commitment, every moment spent going back and forth — it costs something. It steals clarity. It steals peace. It steals momentum. But God does not leave us in that chaos. The message this week clarifies that spiritual stability begins with mental surrender — bringing every thought under Christ, aligning the heart with truth, and refusing to serve two masters. Throughout the teaching, we're reminded that: A double-minded life leads to double-minded results. You cannot walk in confidence while feeding your doubt. And you cannot expect the fruit of faith while planting the seeds of fear. This week is a call — a strong, unmistakable call — to realign your mind. To choose one voice. One truth. One direction. One God. So settle in, open your heart, and let the Word steady you. This is the journey toward wholeness, toward clarity, toward spiritual stability. Welcome to Motion Church. Welcome to Week Two of “Double Minded.” Let's dive into the message.

WHEN WE CEASE TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD_week two by EastLake Tri-Cities
Relationships can be difficult, and even Paul discussed the best ways to navigate them, but there is a way forward. If we approach others with the same humility and dignity that Jesus demonstrated and let go of the need to be right, we can choose acceptance over agreement. The choice to value people over the issues that divide us is a Christ-centered approach that maintains meaningful connections even when we disagree.
