Christmas invites celebration—but Scripture invites reflection.

In this message from John 1:1–14, we are called to celebrate Christmas as God intended: by beholding the glory of Jesus Christ, the eternal Word who entered history, became flesh, and came to redeem humanity.

• Key Themes:Christ as the Word Eternal — eternally existing, fully God, worthy of worship
• Christ as the Word Entering — Creator entering creation as Light
• Christ as the Word Incarnate — God made flesh to transform lives
• Christmas as a call to worship, transformation, and salvation

This sermon challenges us to examine how we plan and celebrate Christmas and asks a vital question:

Is Christ truly at the center of our celebration and our lives?

🎄 May this message lead you to worship Christ, receive Him fully, and celebrate Christmas meaningfully.

In today's episode we explore Jesus' teaching on growing faith — and why the apostles themselves felt compelled to say, "Lord, increase our faith." Using Luke 17 as our foundation, we discuss:

In This Episode:

• The inevitability of temptations and why scandals should grieve us but never surprise us
• Jesus' solemn warning against causing others to stumble
• The call to a holy life — confronting sin honestly and forgiving repeatedly
• Why forgiveness requires supernatural strength
• How great evil reveals the limits of our strength
• The father's prayer: "I believe; help my unbelief"
• Why imperfect, mustard-seed faith is still powerful in God's hands
• What it looks like to grow in faith through battles, doubts, and trials

Faith doesn't grow by accident. It grows when we ask Jesus to give what we lack — strength against temptation, power to forgive, endurance in trials, and hope in the face of darkness.

In today's sermon, we look at Paul's command to the church: "Restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness."

Because the church is a spiritual family — adopted by God, connected not by blood but by the Spirit — we bear the responsibility of helping our brothers and sisters when they fall into sin.

In this episode we explore:

• Why Christians still struggle with sin
• The role of mature, Spirit-led believers in the restoration process
• The biblical meaning of "restore" — repair, reset, mend
• Why gentleness is essential for true spiritual healing
• The dangers of pride while helping someone else recover
• How to guard your own heart while carrying another's burden
• The importance of humility, patience, and Spirit-led confrontation

Key Scriptures:

Galatians 6:1–3; Galatians 5:25–26; 1 John 1:8–9; 1 Corinthians 3:1–3; 2 Timothy 2:24–25; Matthew 7:3–5

Theme:

We restore because God has restored us. We show mercy because He has shown mercy. And we carry one another because none of us stands strong alone.
