Today, we review what God has done in 2025 and where we are headed in the coming year.

In Luke 2, Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the temple, where two faithful servants—Simeon and Anna—recognize what the world cannot yet see: this child is God’s salvation for all nations. Their response reveals a deep truth—Jesus does not need to prove Himself to be worthy of worship; His presence alone is enough. This passage challenges us to examine whether we truly see Jesus as sufficient and whether our devotion naturally leads us to thank God and share Him with others.

This message returns to Luke 2 to marvel at the true meaning of Christmas, cutting through familiar traditions and assumptions to focus on what God actually tells us. Rather than emphasizing how Jesus was born, the story centers on the good news announced to the shepherds: a Savior has been born for all people—Christ the Lord. Like the shepherds, we are invited to hear the news, believe it, share it, and respond with joyful worship and celebration.

In Luke 1:57–79, we witness the miraculous birth of John the Baptist and the powerful moment when Zechariah’s obedience unlocks praise and prophecy. Choosing faithfulness over cultural pressure prepares the way for God’s promises to unfold. As Christmas approaches, we’re reminded that John points the way—but Jesus is the redemption we are celebrating.

What does it really mean to be favored by God when obedience could cost you everything? In Luke 1, we see how God chooses the unlikely, fulfills the impossible, and invites us to trust His promises even when the future feels uncertain. Like Mary, we are called to believe—not just that God can fulfill His word, but to live as if He already has.

In today’s message, we walk through Luke 1 to show how God begins fulfilling His long-awaited promises through the miraculous birth of John the Baptist, even after 400 years of silence. We look at Zechariah and Elizabeth’s story to see that God is always working, that righteousness is revealed through obedience, and that our prayers are never wasted. And finally, we are reminded that the same Spirit who fills John from the womb now fills us, empowering us to live out the calling God has placed on our lives.

Today, we start an expository deep dive through the book of Luke. Who was Luke, and what makes him qualified to write a historical record of the life of Jesus?

Probably nothing in the whole Bible relates more to the modern American church than this letter that Jesus writes to the church in Laodicea.

Unlike the other letters we have read so far, Jesus doesn't start with anything positive for the church in Sardis. They look good on the outside, but they are dead on the inside.

Today we are doing a deep dive into the church of Thyatira, and the warning of the Jezebel spirit.
