Experience the heart of Christmas in this encouraging message from Ben Martin at Dorchester Family Church. In a season filled with mixed expectations and fragile promises, discover where true, lasting hope can really be found.

Ben explores three powerful truths from the Nativity story — hope in God’s promise, hope in a renewed future, and hope in a person: Jesus, our Emmanuel. Whether you're overflowing with festive joy or feeling the weight of the year, this message invites you to encounter the light that “shines in the darkness” and offers real peace, joy, and restoration.

In the second part of our Advent mini-series, Dan Romp takes us deeper into the surprising, upside-down way God chose to enter the world. From the arrival of the Magi to the humility of the manger, we discover that the how of Jesus’ coming offers as much hope as the why.

Dan explores Martin Luther’s idea of “left-handed power” — the power of humility, vulnerability, and sacrificial love — which reveals the heart of God and the nature of His kingdom. In a world obsessed with strength and control, Advent reminds us that true hope comes through the cross, not the sword.

Be encouraged, challenged, and inspired as we consider what it means to love left-handedly this Christmas — and who the “unexpected people” might be that God is inviting us to welcome.

As we begin our Advent series, Sarah Dale invites us to rediscover genuine hope — not wishful thinking, but the steady, life-anchoring hope that Jesus brings right into the middle of our confusion, disappointments, and broken stories.

Exploring Matthew’s account of Christ’s birth, Sarah reminds us that Jesus intentionally enters messy family lines, hurting hearts and uncertain circumstances. He is our Emmanuel — God with us — both then and now.

Listen in and be encouraged as we prepare room in our hearts for the One who came, who is still coming to us personally, and who will one day come again.
