Happy Thanksgiving! Today Coach Jonathan shares one of the things we can be most thankful for – God’s goodness in our lives. Everyone’s story is unique – and a great tool for telling others about the Lord. So, what’s your story about and who can you share it with?

Yours with a gift of any amount.

Thank you for supporting the mission of Christ.

It's easy to speak of faith when the threat is still distant—but what happens when it's at your door? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld examines one of Scripture's most dramatic moments: the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem under King Hezekiah. With all fortified cities fallen and a mocking enemy proclaiming their God is powerless, Hezekiah faces the ultimate test. Through Isaiah's prophetic word and Hezekiah's prayer for God's glory, we witness how the Holy One of Israel defends His people in their darkest hour.

The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: Isaiah is the second-most quoted book in the New Testament, yet many Christians have never studied it deeply. In this 10-message series, Dr. John guides listeners through this essential prophetic book, exploring Isaiah's 50-year ministry during one of Israel's most turbulent periods. From temple visions to confrontations with kings, from oracles against nations to prophecies of the coming Messiah, Isaiah reveals God's sovereignty over all history and His plan for the world through Jesus Christ.

Happy Thanksgiving! As you gather with family and friends today, we hope your hearts are filled with gratitude to God for His many blessings. While Thanksgiving is a treasured tradition for us, its roots stretch back more than 4 centuries. Who gathered at that first feast in 1621? Why were they there? And what exactly were they giving thanks for?

Let’s take a closer look at the remarkable story of the Pilgrims—one of enduring faith, sacrifice, and God’s gracious provision.

Most of us learned in grade school that the Plymouth Colony—located in present-day Massachusetts—was founded in 1620 by a group we know as the Pilgrims. These settlers, also called Separatists, longed to break away entirely from the Church of England, believing it had drifted from biblical teaching. Their commitment to worship according to Scripture set them on a courageous journey toward religious freedom.

Nearby, the Puritans would establish the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. While they shared many beliefs with the Pilgrims, their approach differed. The Puritans remained within the Church of England, seeking to reform it from within. Though their strategies diverged, the stories of these two groups are deeply intertwined in the early chapters of American history.

The Pilgrims faced significant persecution in England for worshiping outside the established church. Holding fast to the Bible as their ultimate authority made them targets. In 1609, seeking refuge, they fled to Leiden, Holland. Yet even there, challenges persisted—some were arrested, and the freedom they sought still felt out of reach.

Recognizing Europe would not offer the spiritual liberty they longed for, they made a bold and costly decision: to sail to the New World. About 120 men, women, and children boarded the Mayflower. While some passengers—known as “adventurers”—joined the voyage for economic opportunity, the Pilgrims’ primary aim was clear: to worship freely and build a life rooted firmly in their faith.

Their journey across the Atlantic was long and brutal. Delays meant they arrived in November—not summer—leaving no time to plant crops. That first winter, remembered as “the starving time,” was devastating. Nearly half the group died from disease and lack of food.

Still, in God’s providence, the Pilgrims formed a gracious relationship with local Native Americans. A Native American named Squanto—who had learned English years earlier—became a critical ally. He taught them how to plant corn, where to fish, and how to survive in an unfamiliar land. His guidance helped bring the colony through that difficult first year.

With Squanto’s help, the Pilgrims planted crops in the spring of 1621 and harvested enough that fall to sustain their small community. To honor God for His provision, they invited their Native American neighbors to join them in a feast of thanksgiving.

By that point, only 22 men, four married women, and 25 teenagers and children remained from the original group. Their guests nearly doubled the gathering, bringing food and friendship—resulting in what may have been America’s first potluck meal. Together, they celebrated survival, provision, and the kindness of God expressed through unexpected relationships.

Years later, Plymouth’s longtime governor, William Bradford, reflected on their experience in Of Plymou

Is it possible to actually be “good” AND “mad”? According to scripture there are times when the right thing to do is get angry. In this message, Chip persuades us that it's possible to know when anger is the best option.
