Change is inevitable—yet it often leaves us anxious, uncertain, and grasping for stability. How can we navigate a rapidly shifting world without losing our footing? Pastor Joshua examines Hebrews 13:8 to argue that Jesus Christ's unchanging nature provides the anchor we need in an ever-changing life. By reflecting on God's faithfulness in the past, recognizing His presence today, and trusting His sovereignty over the future, believers can release fear and worry to embrace obedience and peace. This year, commit to trusting God with your unknowns, surrendering your anxieties, and living each day in confident reliance on His unchanging character.

Have you ever felt the tension between serving God out of genuine love and merely going through the motions of religious duty? Guest speaker Jason Jett examines Mary's extravagant act of worship—anointing Jesus' feet with costly perfume—to reveal what authentic devotion looks like. While others dismissed her sacrifice as wasteful, Jesus affirmed that love expressed for Him is never wasted. Jett argues that unwasted love requires three commitments: giving regardless of cost, serving regardless of humility, and doing what is right regardless of criticism. As you reflect on how you've invested your time and resources, consider whether your life reflects a love for Christ that transcends worldly judgment, and challenge yourself to expand the portion of your life devoted entirely to His kingdom.

How do we maintain spiritual stability when life swings dramatically from blessing to crisis? Jason Jett confronts the tension between life's extreme highs and lows—using vivid South Dakota weather patterns and the apostle Paul's testimony as illustrations. Drawing from Philippians 4:10-13, Jett argues that Christ's continually renewing strength is sufficient for every circumstance, and that believers must learn two essential disciplines: practicing gratitude during abundance and cultivating trust during hardship. The sermon challenges listeners to develop daily dependence on Christ's strength so that when life's extremes arrive, they are spiritually prepared to face them with thanksgiving and trust.

What does it mean when God seems silent in your life? Pastor Dorrell examines the four-hundred-year prophetic silence that preceded Jesus's birth, arguing that silence does not signify God's absence but rather His purposeful work behind the scenes. Through the Christmas narrative, he illuminates how the angelic announcement at Bethlehem shattered centuries of quiet with hope, joy, and the declaration that the Savior had arrived. Listeners are challenged to recognize that in their own seasons of darkness and waiting, God is actively working toward an eventual moment of praise, victory, and redemption.

What does it mean that Jesus Christ descended from a cursed bloodline, and how does His adoption as Joseph's son solve an impossible theological problem? Pastor Dorrell examines Matthew's genealogy to reveal that Jesus Christ uniquely satisfies both the royal and legal claims to David's throne, despite the curse on Jeconiah's descendants. Through the inclusion of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba—women of questionable reputation—the sermon argues that God's sovereignty orchestrates redemption through human failure and sin. If God can weave Christ's lineage through fourteen generations of imperfection and still produce the Messiah, then He can redeem your mistakes, forgive your failures, and graft you into His family through the blood of Christ.

In a world that confuses love with sentiment and struggles to give love as it should be given, how can we understand love's true nature? Pastor Dorrell examines Isaiah 9:6 to reveal that God's promise of love was not merely declared from heaven but incarnated in Jesus Christ—the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Through these four titles, the sermon argues that Christ addresses humanity's deepest needs: guidance in confusion, strength in weakness, unconditional belonging, and peace amid chaos. Listeners are challenged to receive this ultimate gift of love and allow Christ's peace to transform their hearts and minds this Christmas season and beyond.

We often approach the Christmas story with sentiment and comfort, but what if its deeper message confronts us? Pastor Dorrell argues that Matthew 2 presents not merely a tale of Jesus's humble birth, but a theological challenge about kingship and authority. Using Herod's violent resistance to the news of a newborn king, the sermon illuminates how human hearts naturally resist submission to Christ's sovereign claim over our lives. The central thesis is stark: Jesus came not only as Savior but as King, demanding complete obedience and radical surrender—not as suggestion, but as the authoritative word of a ruler. Listeners are challenged to examine whether their lives give obvious evidence that a king truly rules over them, or whether they have domesticated Christ into a comfortable deity rather than the sovereign Lord he actually is.

In a world consumed by political turmoil, relational brokenness, and spiritual despair, where can we find genuine hope? Pastor Dorrell examines Isaiah's prophecy of light breaking into darkness, arguing that while humanity constantly seeks external solutions—political leaders, economic prosperity, technological advancement—our deepest need is spiritual. Through the incarnation of Jesus Christ, God offers not merely improved circumstances but transformation of the human heart. The sermon illuminates how Christ functions as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, providing the only true source of salvation and peace. Listeners are challenged to surrender their hearts to Jesus as the foundational solution to all darkness, making Him the starting point for genuine life change.

Do you feel torn apart by too many obligations, constantly anxious despite your attempts at better organization? Pastor Dorrell argues that our chronic busyness and accumulation of possessions fundamentally trouble our souls in ways that mere efficiency cannot solve. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:29 and the account of Martha and Mary in Luke 10, he contends that God designed us for singular focus and simplicity, not endless multiplication of responsibilities and things. The sermon challenges listeners to ruthlessly eliminate hurry, declutter their lives—finances, schedules, homes, and digital noise—and reorder their existence around their truest priority: intimacy with God and the peace that follows.

We often reduce Christmas to sentiment and tradition, yet we struggle with pride, conflict, and self-centeredness in our daily lives. How can the birth of Christ transform the way we treat one another? Pastor Dorrell argues that Paul presents Christ's incarnation not merely as theological wonder but as a practical model for Christian humility. By examining Philippians 2, he demonstrates that Jesus—though equal with God—emptied himself, took the form of a servant, and humbled himself completely. This self-reduction stands as the antidote to the strife and vainglory that fracture churches and families. Listeners are challenged to adopt the mind of Christ by becoming smaller in ego, larger in service, and committed to lifting others above themselves.
