Christmas looks good on the surface. Lights. Music. Traditions. Family.

But beneath all of that, Christmas still needs saving.

In this message from John 3:1–18, we look at why Jesus came and what His coming means for us. Jesus saves Christmas from death by bringing new life to those who cannot save themselves. And He saves Christmas from silence by sending rescued people to speak, share, and point others to Him.

Christmas is not about better effort or better traditions. It is about new life. And that life was never meant to stay quiet.

Christmas can feel familiar. Almost too familiar. We know the songs, the story, and the traditions. And if we're not careful, that familiarity can slowly turn into boredom.

In this message from Mark 6:1–6, we see Jesus return to His hometown and be dismissed by the very people who knew Him best. They weren't rejecting Him because He lacked power. They missed Him because they thought they already knew Him.

This message reminds us that Christmas doesn't lose its power because the story isn't true. It loses its power when we stop being amazed by it. Jesus came close. And He invites us to see Him again with fresh eyes, renewed wonder, and a heart that remembers why He came at all.

David Leventhal teaches from Matthew 13:44–46, where Jesus presents two parables that reveal the surpassing worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a cultural moment saturated with commercialism, Jesus calls us to see Him as the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value—the One who brings true joy, identity, and freedom.

We explore why commercialism has such a strong pull, how these parables dismantle the lie of "not enough," and what it means to reorient our lives around Jesus. You'll also be equipped with reflection questions to help you slow down and behold Christ during the Christmas season.

This week, Josh Fortney teaches from Luke 2 and shows how Jesus enters our world with purpose, clarity, and hope. When life feels noisy or overwhelming, Christmas reminds us that God is not distant. He comes close. He comes into ordinary places and meets ordinary people with extraordinary grace.

If you've been longing for meaning or direction this season, the birth of Jesus gives you both.

This week, Brad Kirby walks through two powerful passages where Jesus meets three people who want to follow Him but keep offering polite delays. Their hearts are stirred, but their feet stay still. Jesus responds with clarity that following Him is not a part-time commitment. It is a whole-life movement that calls us forward with purpose, urgency, and focus.

If you have ever struggled with hesitation, excuses, or the fear of taking the next step, this message helps you see what it means to live your faith on the move, not just in theory.

Every road leads somewhere. Some feel easy at first but end in ruin, and some feel costly at the start but lead to life. In this week's Radical message, Brad Kirby teaches through Matthew 7:13–29 and shows how Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose wisely. The narrow road, the healthy tree, the true disciple, and the firm foundation all point to one simple truth. Life with Jesus is the only road that lasts.

If you've ever wondered how to tell the real thing from the fake, or how to build a faith that stands when pressure hits, Jesus gives the answer right here. He is not offering suggestions. He is offering life.

This week, Brad Kirby teaches from Matthew 7:7–12, where Jesus invites us to stop striving and start trusting. Prayer isn't a transaction; it's an expression of love between a Father and His children.

When we ask, seek, and knock, we're not trying to get God's attention. We're responding to the God who already loves us. And in that space of dependence, we discover that the best gift isn't what He gives. It's who He is.

Judging others is easy. Seeing ourselves clearly? That's hard. In this week's Radical message, Josh Fortney walks through Matthew 7:1–6, where Jesus teaches us how to judge with humility, mercy, and wisdom.

Jesus doesn't tell us to stop using discernment. He calls us to check our motives, confront our own sin, and restore others gently. True judgment doesn't condemn — it helps people see clearly.

Whether you tend to be overly critical or overly cautious, this message shows how followers of Jesus can balance truth and grace in relationships that reflect His heart.
