From Saddleback Church: There’s usually one weekend in between Christmas and New Year’s when we have the chance to relax and reflect on the ending of one year and the beginning of another. The truth is, we have no way of knowing what will happen in the future — but God does. In this message, Pastor Tom Holladay will go through how to make the new year new by asking the questions: “What do we need to put off and put on?” “Where are the closed doors and the open doors?” and, “What seems important and what is truly important?”

Christmastime provides a great opportunity to reflect on what the Bible says about the birth of Emmanuel, “God with us.” In this Christmas concert message, however, Alistair Begg challenges us to consider the reason Jesus came, in His own words. The book of Mark records that before healing a paralytic man, Jesus gave him some life-changing news: his sins were forgiven. This same grace, regarded as outrageous by the Pharisees at the time, is extended to all who cry out to Him in their need. He came to grant forgiveness!

From Pastor Louie Giglio’s Great Expectation series at Passion City Church, Louie reminds us that we often take the word “prosper” to mean riches, and the words “not to harm” to mean no pain. Instead, we should be looking at God being with us in the story. He’s working and moving every situation, pain, trial, mountain, valley, peak + joy for our good and His glory.
