Pastor Christopher uses the vivid image of Jesus' birth in a filthy manger to demonstrate that God intentionally enters and dwells in our lowest, messiest moments, choosing human vulnerability over divine privilege. This message offers transformative hope, showing that the eternal God doesn't lecture the broken and ashamed, but chooses to dwell with the lowly to lift them up.

Pastor Scott's message reveals that God intentionally chooses the lowly, as seen in Mary's story, to display His glory, showing that our inadequacies are where His power shines brightest. By embracing our own lowliness and surrendering to God, like Mary and Jesus did, we can experience His transformative grace and discover His purpose for our lives.

The sermon explores Mark 11, emphasizing Jesus as the prophesied, peaceful, and pardoning King who fulfills God's plan not through force but through humility and sacrifice, ultimately pointing to God's glory. It challenges believers to follow Jesus faithfully by recognizing Him as He truly is, rather than redefining Him to fit personal desires, and encourages those who haven't yet accepted Him to do so.

Pastor Edward highlights the paradox in Mark 10, illustrating that true access to God's kingdom comes through embracing our spiritual poverty and neediness, rather than self-sufficiency. Through stories and the example of the rich young ruler, he shows that surrendering earthly treasures leads to unlocking unimaginable kingdom riches, reminding us that what we leave for Christ is never truly lost.

Pastor Edward's message challenges our understanding of greatness in God's kingdom by highlighting Jesus' teachings from Mark 9, which call us to die to self-promotion, critical spirits, and personal comfort. By embracing servanthood and counting others as more significant, we can transform our homes, workplaces, and church communities, following Jesus' countercultural path to true greatness.

Pastor Ryan illustrates the encounter between Jesus and a desperate father to show that our pride can hinder divine deliverance, urging us to move beyond self-reliance and cry out, "I believe; help my unbelief!" This message challenges us to surrender our struggles by laying down our dignity and embracing a desperate dependence on Christ, where authentic faith begins.

The sermon discusses the miracle of Jesus healing a man born blind, emphasizing the importance of spiritual insight over physical sight. It highlights that spiritual blindness can affect both believers and non-believers, urging humility and openness to God's work in our lives, especially through pain and suffering.

Pastor Jason argues that true greatness isn't found in worldly recognition but in humble service to others. He uses Mark 10:35-45 to show how Jesus redefined greatness, teaching that we were made to serve, not to be served, and that this is a call to love and serve our communities.

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.
