This sermon uses the biblical vision of Revelation 7:9 to advocate for racial and cultural unity within the modern church. Pastor Greg Ealey employs the metaphor of an all-star baseball team to illustrate how diverse individuals can retain their unique identities while pursuing a common kingdom goal. By referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream, he emphasizes that earthly congregations should strive to mirror the multicultural worship found in heaven. The author argues that true oneness is achieved when believers allow their differences to bring them together and find common ground through the blood of Jesus Christ. Ultimately,  Pastor Greg calls for a "sea of red" where individual backgrounds are secondary to a shared allegiance to God. Oneness is when the world looks at us and all they see is sea of red. All they see is a people covered by the blood of Jesus. People doused with the grace of God. All they see is people sitting at the feet of Jesus. All they see is people sold out for the gospel of Jesus Christ. All they see is a oneness that can only come from Him who sits on the Throne and the Lamb, the precious Lamb of God.

This Christmas sermon explores the profound hope found in Jesus Christ as the light that penetrates a world of pain and moral darkness. Drawing from the ancient prophecies of Isaiah and Psalm 110, the text highlights how the Messiah was foretold as both a sovereign King and a compassionate High Priest long before his birth. The speaker emphasizes that while humans often reach for insufficient comforts during times of crisis, Christ serves as a "sunrise" that offers a complete perspective on life's difficulties. By stepping down from his heavenly throne to experience human suffering, Jesus became an intercessor who sympathizes with our weaknesses and offers unmerited forgiveness. Ultimately, the source serves as an invitation to rely on this divine authority to navigate the complexities and "dark woods" of the human experience.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeff concludes an Advent series by exploring the theme of divine love through a comparison of microscopic and telescopic perspectives. He argues that the human heart’s natural tendency is to act like a microscope, zooming in on personal hardships until they dominate one's field of vision and obscure faith. To counter this, he encourages the congregation to adopt a telescopic view, which brings the immense scale of God's affection and grace into clear focus. By referencing the biblical examples of David and Mary, the speaker illustrates how individuals can intentionally pivot from magnifying their anxieties to exalting the greatness of Christ. Ultimately, the text serves as a pastoral invitation to recognize the incarnation as the ultimate evidence of a love that is larger than any earthly struggle.
