Life can feel weird—constant motion, no real arrival. Scripture names that restlessness as “chasing the wind”: working, achieving, and consuming in search of gain that never lasts. This message explores why wisdom, pleasure, work, and success can’t finally secure us—and how trusting God turns even life’s vapor into gift. Start the year not by doubling down on gain, but by learning to receive your days, your work, and your limits from Jesus, who alone can give meaning that outlasts the treadmill.

In this final Advent message, we traced how the baby in the manger is also the King whose kingdom will never end. Isaiah, Paul, Peter, and John painted a picture of a reign that will one day fill everything—and of lives that matter now because of it. Watch to be called into “proactive patience”: handing over your little kingdoms in small, concrete acts of obedience that are never wasted in His eternal kingdom.

On Christmas Eve we see that Christmas is not just about a quiet night; it’s about the arrival of true shalom. “Prince of Peace” means a ruler who makes wholeness happen—healing what’s fractured between us, within us, and between us and God. This message shows how Jesus brings peace that realigns our hearts with the Father and invites us to bring Him our most un‑peaceful places.

Many of us carry wounds from people who said, “I’ve got you,” and didn’t. This message explored “Everlasting Father” as God’s promise of a King whose father‑like care does not walk away, burn out, or age out. Discover how Jesus reveals the Father’s never‑letting‑go love and what it means to let Him “father” the orphaned places in your heart.

In this sermon we looked at what happens when you hit the end of your strength and still try to power through. From Ahaz and Hezekiah to Jesus, “Mighty God” reveals a God who doesn’t just assist our plans but powerfully saves in our weakness. Hear the invitation to trade self-reliance for real dependence on the God whose strength stands out when yours gives out.

When your plans run out, Jesus is just getting started. In a world obsessed with strategies, hacks, and self-help, Isaiah 9 and John 1 reveal a different kind of wisdom: a child called “Wonderful Counselor,” God’s own miraculous wisdom stepping into our crisis. Like King Ahaz, we often want God to bless the plan we already made—but Jesus offers a trade. Bring Him the places where your plans are failing, and discover that His light, His guidance, and His story begin right where yours runs out.

The fight of faith isn’t private or passive—it’s public, communal, and anchored in hope. In 1 Timothy 6:11–21, Paul urges us to openly declare our allegiance to King Jesus, pursue his kingdom character, and trust God rather than money, status, or secrets. Let’s be a church known for visible generosity, real integrity, and a public witness that invites others into the life and hope of Christ.

A Church’s true wealth isn’t found in budgets or buildings—it’s measured by how we honor, support, and grow people. In 1 Timothy 5:17–6:10, we're called to build a community marked by integrity, generosity, and accountability. Healthy leadership, wise stewardship, and generosity make the church stand out from a world obsessed with power and money. Invest in people, not pocketbooks—let’s be a family that multiplies trust, encouragement, and contentment for God’s glory and the good of our world.

Gospel love starts at home and grows outward—real faith isn’t just words, but visible care for family, church, and the truly vulnerable. In a world overwhelmed by need, 1 Timothy 5:1–16 calls us to draw our circles of responsibility with “dots,” not walls: honoring our own, supporting our spiritual family, and always leaving room for those overlooked. Loving well at home builds credibility; opening our gates shows the world Christ’s compassion in action.

Training for godliness isn’t a solo venture—it’s a team sport. 1 Timothy 4:6–16 calls us to grow stronger together, because your faith impacts the whole church. In God’s “gym,” every spiritual gain lifts others, and every struggle is felt by all. Show up, use your gifts, encourage someone, and let’s become a community where progress is contagious, hope multiplies, and Christ is seen in every step we take—side by side.
