Welcome to All Nations Community Church! In this episode, Pastor Terence teaches from Matthew 3 and Luke 1, showing why John the Baptist was such a pivotal figure in preparing the way for Jesus. The world measures greatness by appearance and achievement, but God looks at the heart, and John was called “great in the sight of the Lord.” This message invites you to pause and ask, “What is the condition of my heart before God?” You will also be encouraged to understand your purpose, choosing humility like John, who said, “He must increase, I must decrease.” Pastor Terence challenges the church to preach the message of Christ in season and out of season, and to stand firm for truth even when culture pushes back. Finally, the message comes to a clear call: repent, turn from sin, and make room for the King. As you listen, reflect, share with someone, and ask the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for Jesus anew.

Welcome to All Nations Community Church! In this opening message of our Christmas series, Pastor Terence leads us to the Lord’s Table and calls us to remember where we were when we received the gift of salvation. Communion becomes a holy moment of gratitude, reflection, and realignment. From there, we walk through prophecy and see that Jesus’ birth was not accidental, it was announced long before Bethlehem. From Genesis 3:15 to Isaiah 9:6, we see the coming Messiah promised, and in the New Testament we see Him revealed as God with us, the exact representation of the Father. Jesus is the Son given, the King whose government rests on His shoulders, and the Prince of Peace who reconciles us to God. As you listen, take a moment to reflect: where has your focus drifted, and how can your worship become more intentional this season? Share this episode with someone who needs to remember that Christmas is about Christ.

This episode is a timely encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, delayed, or discouraged. Pastor Ras takes us through the powerful truth of Philippians 3:13 to 14, where the Apostle Paul declares that he presses on toward the prize. Through relatable stories, biblical insight, and faith-building declarations, we learn the three L’s of forward movement: look ahead with faith, learn from your setbacks, and live with a mission focus.

You will be reminded that God is not finished with you and that your next step of faith can open the door to a new move of God. Take time to listen, reflect, and share this message with someone who needs hope today.
