Clark Griswold was determined to have a “fun, old-fashioned family Christmas,” only to have his expectations dashed over and over again. Much like the Griswold Family Christmas, the very first Christmas took some unexpected turns. Though the Jewish people knew the prophecies of Micah and Isaiah, never could they have expected what God had planned. But, into the unexpected circumstances of Christmas came what we all needed most.

38:29The love of God is at the same time mysterious and knowable. As Paul continues in Romans 5, he will unpack how personal and intimate the love of God really is and how we can be a people who not only know it and receive it, but share it with others.

Because of the good news of Jesus, we are now at peace with God and can stand with confidence in joy of the future. In light of this, our view of suffering changes drastically. Instead of it leading to despair, it actually leads to greater hope and character. We no longer see suffering as a detriment to our lives, but as a way for our faith and hope to be refined.…

Nobody swoons over Christmas like Buddy the Elf; his sense of awe and wonder has captivated movie watchers for decades. What is so endearing about him is that we all desire that same awe and wonder around Christmas, much like the shepherds experienced. As they rested in their fields, a sense of awe and wonder came over them as they saw the star appear.…

Pastor DJ Uithoven- Christmas at the Movies has been a great way to spend the holiday season here at Genesis. It's been so fun to see the surprises and to consider how God is teaching us important things about our lives through beloved films. Maybe you are like me, beginning to ask the question of what is next? How do I carry contentment, faith, wonder and care for myself into 2025? We are going to look at one way God gives us to stay connected to Him in celebration and joy, every day, and week of our lives! And not just some lame, psuedo-party, but how to have true enjoyment alongside of God and others as we celebrate the gifts we are each given.…

Kristen Lunceford- God pursued us in love, reconciling us to Himself through Christ. Now, as His ambassadors, we're called to pursue others with the same intentionality and grace, even and especially in the midst of conflict. Through this classic movie about a family finding their way back to each other, we’ll see how the gift of reconciliation has the power to transform our relationships with God and one another. If the Christmas season is challenging for you this year because of tension in your relationships, you aren’t going to want to miss this message.…

35:05Pastor DJ Uithoven- In the midst of our darkness and hopelessness, God needs to enter the world He created to bring back His light, hope and rescue. He could have chosen any form, any experience in human existence. We know now that He chose to be vulnerable, to arrive as the least for very good reason. This theme, though, will not be left behind at Jesus' birth. So much Christianity will reflect strength in check just like another hero from cinema history - John McClane. How does the bloody and battered savior of Nakatomi Plaza emulate Jesus? Yippee-ki-yay and Merry Christmas!…

Philippians 4:12, Christmas in the 21st Century promises contentment but rarely delivers. The temptation to seek contentment in all of the “trimmings” of Christmas is so strong that we often leave the month of December broke and anxious. The Kranks realized this same issue and decided to skip Christmas altogether. But, they too, realize even that will never truly lead them to contentment. Like Luther and Nora discover, true contentment at Christmas requires a refocus on how to view the Christmas season and it’s purpose in our lives.…

Romans 4:9-17 Themes: Salvation | Promises of God | Faith What is needed for a person to be saved? Is there a recipe to ensure it happens? Paul breaks down assumptions made about being saved and pins it down to one thing: faith. No ritual or religious ceremony has the power to save us, only the Holy Spirit’s work in our heart, leading us to faith in Jesus Christ. As a result, we don’t just believe IN God, we BELIEVE God.…

Romans 4:1-8 Themes: Faith Alone | Imputed Righteousness | Forgiveness Is being a good person the end goal of faith? Is it even attainable? As Paul launches into chapter 4, he addresses how a person is actually considered “good” before God. It is surprisingly not how most might imagine it. Goodness is not achieved, it’s received. On our own, we could never become good enough to match God’s standard of perfection. But, through Christ, we graciously receive the goodness He has to offer.…

34:10Pastor DJ Uithoven Romans 3:21-31 Themes: Forgiveness | Sacrifice | Cross | Faith Since religious practices and upholding the Law are unable to remedy our sin-problem and make us right with our Creator, God does what we can’t do for ourselves. Only through Jesus are we made right before God. Through His perfect obedience of God’s Law and His sacrifice on the cross are we able to experience freedom and forgiveness from our sin. Through faith in Him, and Him alone, we find salvation.…

31:03Romans 3:1-20 Themes: Humility | Grace | Forgiveness In light of our sinful state, God uses the Law to show us how sinful we have become. When we measure our lives against what God has asked of us, it becomes clear that none of us is righteous. Which means we will need something outside of ourselves to reunite us with God. We will need something (or someone) to save us.…

Romans 2:17-29 Themes: God, the Father | Relationship | Life Change Some will try to achieve salvation through religion (the following of the Law). But, as Paul has personally discovered, chasing salvation through religion is an empty pursuit. Not only are we unable to follow the Law perfectly, but God doesn’t expect us to. Instead, His desire is for us to experience a changed life through an intimate, dynamic relationship with Him.…

When that day comes all people will be judged according to what they have done with their lives—including what’s occurred in secret. Those who have surrendered their life to Jesus will be given eternal life. Those who haven’t will experience eternal separation.…
