What's on your Christmas list this year? We all drop hints hoping the people who love us will get us what we really need. For millennia, humanity has been sending up prayers, asking God to notice our needs and do something about the brokenness, sin, and darkness we can't escape on our own.

Isaiah 49 promises that God has heard our cries and answered with the perfect gift: Jesus. He is an incredibly practical gift who addresses our daily struggles, defeats our deepest fears, and transforms our lives right now.

Whether you feel overlooked this Christmas season or you're celebrating surrounded by loved ones, discover how God sees you, knows you, and sent His Son specifically for you.

Family at the holidays is a blessing, but let's be honest, it also comes with baggage. Broken relationships, unresolved hurt, empty chairs, and painful memories can make gathering together feel more fraught than joyful.

But Isaiah 66 promises that Jesus will one day return and make all things right. He will bring justice for the wounds we've carried, reconciliation for the relationships that seem too far gone, and joyful unity that lasts forever.

This Christmas, as you step into family gatherings that carry both blessing and burden, discover how to hold onto the promise that God is building a family that cannot fracture, a home untouched by sin or sorrow.

What are you hungry for this Christmas? We spend so much time chasing satisfaction in all the wrong places: the perfect celebration, the ideal family gathering, the flawless holiday experience. But Isaiah 55 reminds us that Jesus offers something far better, a free, satisfying feast of grace, forgiveness, and belonging that never runs out.

Unlike everything else that demands payment or performance, Jesus has already paid the bill with His own life. You don't need to earn your seat at the table because it's already reserved. In this message, discover what it means to stop laboring for "bad bread" and instead enjoy the abundant life Jesus freely offers.

What does "home" really mean? In this Advent message, we explore the profound reality that we're living in exile, separated from God since the Garden of Eden. Through Isaiah's prophecy of a shoot rising from Jesse's stump, we discover that God sent a Savior who entered our exile, walked through our brokenness, and died on a cross to lead us home. While we wait for Christ's return, we can give others a preview of that home through patience, forgiveness, and grace.

Are you chasing the good life for yourself, or are you planting seeds for others? In this message, we explore the critical difference between living as a consumer (focused only on immediate gain) and living as a cultivator (investing in harvests that will bless generations to come).

Drawing from Jesus's parable of the talents, discover how stewardship, generosity, and legacy are the path to true fulfillment. If you belong to Jesus, everything you have has been entrusted to you for a purpose larger than yourself. It's time to decide: will you plant strawberries or oak trees?

How do you grow deeper in Jesus and become rich in the things that truly last?

One key habit: sacrificial giving to your local church. In this message, we have an honest conversation about the connection between generosity and spiritual growth, featuring insights on personal giving journeys, church finances, and practical habits for those growing in God's riches. Learn why holding earthly things loosely helps you share generously and root yourself more deeply in Christ.

Everyone's chasing the good life, but are we building the right kind of wealth?

This message challenges us to examine what we're really investing our time, talent, and treasure into. Discover the difference between being "good rich" (overflowing in earthly gifts that fade) and "God rich" (overflowing in what matters eternally to God). Learn why the harvest principle, you grow what you sow, means our daily choices are shaping our future satisfaction. And find hope in the gospel truth that while we chase earthly treasures, God chose to invest His greatest treasure in us.

In a world where we pick up our phones 150 times a day, self-control has never been more challenging or more needed. This message explores James 1:19 and the call to be "quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."

Whether you're struggling with your words, your temper, or just feeling the weight of trying to control yourself, this message offers hope: we're not doing this alone. The Holy Spirit is at work, helping us grow one choice at a time.

Jesus describes himself as "gentle and lowly" which is the opposite of what our world celebrates. But gentleness isn't weakness. It's power under control, gracious restraint, having the ability to crush but choosing to care instead.

In this sermon, discover what biblical gentleness means: refusing to retaliate, dominate, or manipulate. See how Jesus demonstrates this toward us and calls us to embody it for others. Learn why gentleness surprises people, wins them over, dignifies them, and gives them an encounter with Christ.

Whether you're wrestling with feeling too busy, struggling with fear, or wondering if God still loves you despite your failures, this message offers hope and encouragement rooted in God's unchanging faithfulness.
