Christmas is filled with unforgettable sounds, laughter around the table, familiar songs on the radio, the rustle of wrapping paper, and the excited voices of children. But long before any of those sounds filled our homes, there were three cries that filled heaven and earth.

These cries tell the real story of Christmas. The cry of a baby in a manger… the cry of a Savior on a cross… and the victorious cry that still echoes in the hearts of believers today.

Each one reveals something powerful about God’s love for us. Each one draws us closer to the heart of Jesus.

Over the next three weeks, we’re going to lean in and listen to these cries. Because when we understand them, we understand the true meaning of Christmas and the depth of God’s love in a way that changes everything.

Life moves fast, days blur, weeks fly, and years disappear in the rearview mirror. But Psalm 90 stops us in our tracks and reminds us of something bigger: the God who holds eternity also cares about every single one of our moments. Today, Pastor Josh is taking us on a journey into the place where God’s timelessness meets our daily lives and how that perspective changes everything.

Hey friends, Pastor Jimmy here. I want to invite you to this week’s episode of the Authentic Life podcast and our message called “Grace In, Gratitude Grown, Generosity Out.”

We’re looking at how God’s greatest gift in John 3:16 shows us that generosity starts in the heart — and how what we release into God’s hands can create a harvest far beyond what we see.

If you’re ready to live with open hands, deeper purpose, and a heart shaped by God’s love, don’t miss “Grace In, Gratitude Grown, Generosity Out.” 

You’re invited to join us on this week’s podcast as we unpack one of Jesus’ most powerful miracles—the healing of the ten lepers, and discover why only one came back.

In this message, we explore:

If you’ve ever cried out for God’s help, waited on His timing, or longed to grow deeper in gratitude, this episode will speak directly to your heart.

Hey friends, this is Pastor Jimmy, and I want to personally invite you to join me for this week’s episode of the Authentic Life podcast.

The message is called “Faith Drives Actions,” and we’re talking about what real faith looks like when it’s put into motion. Faith isn’t just believing something — it’s believing so deeply that it changes the way you live, love, and lead every day.

When our faith is alive, it shows up in our choices, our compassion, and our courage. It pushes us to move when fear says “stay still,” to give when the world says “keep,” and to trust when life doesn’t make sense.

Have you ever gone through a season where you felt like all you were doing was sowing — sowing prayers, sowing effort, sowing tears, and wondering if you’d ever see the results?

In this final message of our Harvest of the Heart series, we’re talking about the joy that comes when God brings the increase, when the seeds planted in faith finally break through into blessing.

So whether you’re in a season of planting, growing, or waiting, this message will remind you that God’s harvest always comes in His time, and when it does, it brings joy that overflows.

Have you ever felt like God is running late? Like you’re praying, believing, doing all the right things… but nothing seems to be moving?

In today’s message, “Waiting on God’s Timing, Patience in the Process,” we’re going to look at what Scripture says about the seasons of waiting, those in-between moments when faith is tested, trust is stretched, and patience is grown. From Ecclesiastes 3, we’re reminded that there is a time for everything and that God makes all things beautiful in His time. Waiting isn’t a punishment; it’s preparation. God is working in ways you can’t see to bring about something far greater than you can imagine.

So if you’ve ever wondered where God is in the silence, or why His clock doesn’t match yours, this message is for you. Let’s lean in and discover how waiting on God can actually grow what rushing never will.

Welcome back to the Harvest of the Heart series, where we’re learning how God grows lasting fruit in our lives.

In this week’s message, ‘Cultivating Obedience, Pulling Weeds and Nurturing Growth,’ we look at one of Jesus’ most powerful teachings from John chapter 15. He said, ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.’

Just like a garden needs constant care, pulling weeds, watering, and pruning, our spiritual lives need the same attention. Obedience isn’t about following rules; it’s about staying connected to the Vine and allowing God to shape us into something fruitful and life-giving.

So get ready to dig in as we discover how to pull the weeds that choke our faith, nurture the habits that lead to growth, and trust the Gardener who’s working for our good, even when the pruning hurts.

Here’s Week Two: ‘Cultivating Obedience.’ Let’s grow together.

Welcome back to A Clean Slate! We’ve seen God’s forgiveness for us, we’ve wrestled with forgiving ourselves, and now we tackle the toughest step—forgiving others.

It’s not easy. It’s not natural. But it’s powerful. Forgiveness sets us free, heals relationships, and reflects the very heart of Jesus.
