There was nothing ordinary about Jesus’ birth. From the immaculate conception to the circumstances that led Mary to give birth in a stable for animals, Jesus came into this world as the result of many miracles. Pastor Jeff wants us to realize that the miracles surrounding Jesus’ birth help highlight Him as the Son of God, the Messiah that humanity had been waiting for. Christmas isn’t just a day to open presents and sing carols; it’s a time to celebrate the night that God took on human form!

On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy reminds us that God saves! As Paul wrote in Titus chapter 3, we’re saved ... not because of righteous things we’ve done, but because of God’s mercy! Before Christ, everything we did was tainted by sin. But in Christ, we’re not just given a clean slate, but a whole, new life!

In today's episode, Mark Gregston dives into some of the toughest questions parents face with their teenagers today. From encouraging faith in a 17-year-old son who resists reading the Bible, to setting boundaries with a 19-year-old daughter living at home and finding the balance when communicating with college-aged children, Mark offers practical advice rooted in real-life experiences. He explores the impact of shaming, the challenges of parenting twins with different levels of maturity and how to maintain healthy relationships — even as families navigate new dynamics.
