christmas hope

Hello friends and welcome to episode 25 of The Stained Glass Podcast.  I’m your host, Jessica Spurlock.  

Join us for a special episode diving into the heartwarming promises of Isaiah 9:6 and the hope they bring during this holiday season.  Uncover the true meaning of Christmas through the titles given to Jesus: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.  Embrace the encouragement and comfort these titles offer during tough times.

Wrapping up this incredible season, I want to thank you for tuning in! I’ll be back with season 2 in the New Year, bringing in more uplifting messages and inspiring stories to show how the broken pieces of your story reveals God’s glory.  Wishing you all a Merry Christmas filled with joy, and a prosperous New Year!

Don’t forget to follow the podcast to hear all episodes from Season 1 and to be notified when Season 2 launches in early January 2024!

Find me on social media - I’ll be active there during the break!

The word “paradox” describes a statement or event that at times may seem self-contradictory, that defies expectations or that is beyond comprehension. We encounter paradoxes all the time in our lives; however, the greatest paradox in our world is not a statement or event but a person: Jesus. Today we will look at the extraordinary birth of Jesus and how each encounter in the Birth Narrative was full of irony and incomprehensible moments and how Jesus defied expectations then and is still doing so even today. 

NOTE: We had a number of signal issues with our microphone during the sermon today - more than normal. We tried to clean it up the best we could and apologize for how spotty it sounds in places. We are getting closer to getting our new equipment so please bear with us as we work to get everything in order soon.

TEXT: Luke 1-2, Matthew 1-2

Worship is not a part of the Christian faith; it is the foundation of it. It’s not a suggestion, nor a good idea. It is a Christian’s primary response to a Holy, beautiful, wonderful, powerful, and grace-giving God. But how do you worship when you have nothing left to give? How do worship when you feel like you have nothing valuable to offer? It is possible and today we explore how.
