    Dec 23 2025

    Text: Matthew 1:18-25

    Series: Are You Ready?

    What if one moment could change everything? The moment Mary said yes to bearing the Son of God. The moment Joseph obeyed God and took Mary as his wife instead of divorcing her quietly. The moments - many moments - that Jesus chose God's will and continued on the path of suffering to bear the sin of the world. In this episode we reflect on the moments in our lives that can change everything.

    Texts: Matthew 11:2-11, Isaiah 35:1-10, Luke 1:46b-55

    Series: Are You Ready?

    What happens when we set aside our fear and suspicion of those who are different or think differently than us? We become ready to receive Jesus' presence anew. In this sermon Pastor Matt introduces the third theme of Advent that makes us ready to receive him as king: 1) being people of peace 2) humility 3) showing mercy.

    Texts: Isaiah 11:1-10, Matthew 3:1-12

    Series: Are You Ready?

    Sometimes there are circumstances in our lives that feel like a stump - where new growth feels impossible, where our future feels like it has been chopped off. It is here that God speaks a new word: growth is possible. New life is possible. In fact, it's happening even before we can see it. It won't simply be a recovery of what has gone before, but God does cause new shoots to spring out of old stumps.
