Building on a previous sermon, Pastor Scott's sermon emphasizes the importance of genuine Gospel Community as the antidote to modern loneliness and spiritual emptiness. He explains that through reconciliation with Jesus, we become citizens of His kingdom and are able to confess our sins and embrace the vulnerability needed to find true belonging and grace with one another.

Pastor Ryan encourages the congregation to move beyond fleeting New Year's resolutions and seek fulfillment on the ancient paths found in Scripture. He argues that our desire for something more in life reflects a divine purpose, urging listeners to find rest and a deeper relationship with God by following these uncomfortable yet transformative paths.

The sermon focuses on the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in the past as essential preparation for the new year, rather than just making resolutions and plans for the future. Pastor Christopher emphasizes that forgetting God's past faithfulness can lead to both shrinking faith during difficult times and inflated ego during successful times, while remembering His works builds genuine faith and proper humility.

The sermon, titled "Far Greater," focuses on the parallel announcements of John the Baptist's and Jesus's births in Luke 1, emphasizing God's power through impossible births (Elizabeth's barrenness and Mary's virginity). Through these accounts, the sermon illustrates three main points about God - His power to do the impossible, His preeminence shown through Jesus becoming the "most low," and His faithfulness to His promises despite our belief or unbelief.

The sermon discusses the concept of hope and deliverance through the lens of Isaiah 9, explaining that while humans often seek deliverance through self-reliant means, true deliverance comes through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that God's path to deliverance is different from our expectations - it primarily delivers us from sin rather than just circumstances, comes through the unexpected means of a child (Jesus), and is accomplished by a unique Deliverer who offers eternal salvation rather than just temporary relief.

The sermon discusses the concept of righteousness, defining it not just as moral behavior but as living life the way God intended - in perfect flourishing and abundance. Through Jesus Christ, God provides His righteousness as a gift to those who believe, making them right with Him and meeting their deepest needs for acceptance, security, and significance.

Based on this sermon, the key message is that true hope is found in Jesus Christ alone, not in our circumstances or worldly desires. The sermon emphasizes that God often works through seemingly insignificant things (like Jesus' birth in Bethlehem) to display His glory, and we should trust in Him rather than pursuing hope in what the world deems significant.

Pastor Ryan's sermon, drawing from 1 Peter, stresses that Christians are called to be living stones, built together as God's temple. He encourages believers to actively be the church by serving one another and glorifying Jesus in all aspects of life, as true faith cannot be lived in isolation.

In his sermon, Pastor Edward addressed the common struggle with temptation, assuring his congregation that believers are divinely equipped to overcome it. He explained that while temptation is a universal experience, God provides a way of escape, allowing us to endure rather than give in. Ultimately, Pastor Edward emphasized that our victory is found in our faith in Jesus, who has already conquered sin and temptation on our behalf.

In his sermon, Jason addresses the theme of suffering, challenging the notion that a life of faith should be free from hardship. He uses the book of Habakkuk to show that trials, rather than signifying God's absence, can deepen one's faith and foster reliance on Him. The sermon concludes with a message of hope that believers can trust in God's plan and find assurance in Jesus, knowing that all suffering will eventually cease.

Pastor Ryan highlights the ongoing need for repentance in a believer's life, emphasizing that it's not just a one-time act for salvation but a continuous process for sanctification. He clarifies that while Christ's sacrifice justifies us, ongoing repentance deepens our understanding of sin and magnifies our appreciation for God's grace. Pastor Kwon concludes that true repentance involves humbly acknowledging our sinfulness while embracing God's immense love and willingness to forgive, leading to genuine heart transformation.

Pastor Christopher stresses the vital role of community and encouragement in overcoming sin and spiritual stagnation. He explains that believers must actively support one another through comfort, correction, and courage to maintain faithfulness and avoid being hardened by sin.
