21st December 2025Morning service

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Chris Troxel "The Word Made Flesh".   Digging Deeper Questions: The sermon says that "existence requires experience." Where do you notice the difference between simply knowing about God and experiencing the life and light of Christ in your own story? John says, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." What does it mean for you to trust that God has truly entered human life—not from a distance, but from the inside—and how does that shape the way you bring your struggles to Him? The sermon claims that "the Word made flesh makes a way for you." Where in your life right now do you most need to hear that God has made a way—into light, connection, or love? From Christ's fullness we receive "grace upon grace." How might living from that abundance (rather than scarcity or fear) change the way you relate to others this week—especially those who feel distant, difficult, or overlooked?   Intro/Outro Song: "Only One" Nate Zuellig ULC Artist In Residence

Isaiah 62:1-5, Psalm 147, Galatians 4:4-7, John 1:1-18

You can call off the search.(T)here is no other Voice but this One.There is no other Silence.There is no other God.There is no other awakening experience.When your mind is telling you that you're not 'there' yet,you're hearing it from 'there'.This is It.You're hearing THE Voice.You are the Voice.This Silence is what you are.This silence is what I Am (is).Affirm that, 'This Silence is what I Am."The first few times with words, and then drop the words.Your whole being is singing, SHREEMing, 'I Am' without words...being the silence I Am,being the Love I Am,being That, I Am.

Episode 2.68This Christmas Day episode presents a dramatic reading of the biblical nativity—told entirely through Scripture.Drawing from Luke 2:1–20, Matthew 1:18–2:12, and John 1:1–18, the story of Christ's coming is heard as it unfolds: the decree of Caesar, the quiet obedience of Joseph, the wonder of the shepherds, the worship of the Magi, and the eternal Word made flesh.Paired with visual imagery that reflects each scene, this reading invites listeners and viewers to slow down, listen, and behold the glory of the incarnation—not as sentiment, but as the arrival of the Light of the world.No commentary. No embellishment. Just the Word of God proclaimed on Christmas Day.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/EIqVpi54A9UMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

The Word “wonder” means “rapt attention or astonishment at something awesomely mysterious.” This kind of awe is the only appropriate response to the incarnation—the most wonderful miracle of all.

In this final episode, David Wollen reflects on Luke 2 and the twelve-year-old Jesus in the Temple, showing why the incarnation—Christ fully God and fully man—is essential to our salvation and hope.

Have you ever had the experience of getting together with a dear friend or family member after a long period of absence and wanted to just soak up every moment with them, savoring their presence with you? Have you ever realized, after perhaps hours of sitting and visiting with them, that you've lost all track of time because you have been so completely “with” them? The first chapter of the Gospel of John begins with beautifully poetic imagery which helps us to understand Jesus as Creator, eternal Son of God, Life and Light, and, in this verse, Emmanuel, God with us! Dive in to this special Christmas episode as we pause to consider the miracle of God with us!Read John 1:14Questions from today's episode:  What does “God with us” mean to you today? How do you need to experience his “with-ness” in your life right now? Have you ever stopped to marvel at the fact that the Creator of the universe stepped into humanity and became one of us in order to help us know Him, to see God's love for us, and to enact the most amazing redemption plan? Take some time now to linger in awe and wonder at God's great love for us!A great listen:

The Christmas carol “What Child is This?” uniquely blends the theological ideas of Christ as the Word and Christ as the Lamb.
