In this message from Daniel 2, “Living in Exile: The Eternal Kingdom,” we walk through Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling dream, Daniel’s calm trust in God, and the towering statue that crumbles before a stone “cut without hands.” We’ll see how this vision points to Jesus Christ and His unshakable Kingdom, why every earthly power ultimately falls, and how believers today can live as faithful exiles—calm, prayerful, steadfast, and calling others to repentance and new life in Christ.

In today’s message, we launch a new sermon series through the Book of Daniel called “Living in Exile.” Most of us know the famous stories — Daniel in the lions’ den, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. But Daniel is far more than a collection of dramatic deliverances. It is a book about faithfulness in a world that has forgotten God, a book for people who feel displaced, pressured, and surrounded by a culture that does not share their convictions.

In Daniel 1 we meet four young men taken from Jerusalem into the heart of Babylon — a land of pagan power, deep idolatry, and aggressive re-education. Yet in that foreign place, far from home, they discovered that God still reigns, and that His people can still live faithfully even when the world presses in to reshape them.

This episode explores Babylon’s strategy to “re-make” the people of God, Daniel’s courageous resolve not to defile himself, and the surprising way God honors obedience in the midst of exile. Ultimately, Daniel’s story points us to the greater faithfulness of Jesus Christ, who empowers His people to stand firm today.

If you feel like a stranger in your own land, this message is for you.

Babylon doesn’t get the last word — Christ does.

As the decorations come down and the new year begins, many of us feel the pull toward fresh starts, routines, or resolutions. But what if our deepest purpose isn’t found in self-improvement — but in being about the Father’s business?

In this timely message from Luke 2, Pastor Christopher Enix explores the only glimpse Scripture gives us of Jesus’ childhood: His presentation in the temple as an infant and His remarkable stay in the temple at age twelve. Through the faithful lives of Simeon and Anna, the humble obedience of Mary and Joseph, and the young Jesus’ profound words — “Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” — we’re reminded that true fulfillment comes not from extraordinary moments, but from faithful devotion in the ordinary, all centered on glorifying and enjoying God.

Perfect for anyone seeking gospel-centered direction for the year ahead, this sermon calls us to prioritize God’s kingdom, treasure time in His presence and with His people, and live every day for the Father’s eternal business.

Listen now and start 2025 with your heart fixed on what matters most.

Christmas has passed. The lights are still up, the tree may still be standing—but the rush has faded, and for many, fear has returned.

In this post-Christmas reflection from Luke 2, we revisit the familiar story of shepherds, angels, and a child born in Bethlehem—and hear it again as if for the first time. Why was the angel’s first command not rejoice or celebrate, but “Fear not”? And why does that message still matter long after December 25?

This message explores:

• How familiarity with the Christmas story can dull our sense of wonder
• Why God chose to reveal Himself first to ordinary, overlooked people
• The astonishing humility of Christ’s coming “in the fullness of time”
• Why Christianity uniquely proclaims a God who does not remain distant from suffering—but enters it Himself
• How the manger points to the cross, and the cross to resurrection hope

Drawing from Luke’s Gospel, Galatians 4, historical reflection, and the unforgettable scene from A Charlie Brown Christmas, this sermon reminds us that Christmas does not end in Bethlehem—and that fear does not have the final word.

That is the gospel.

That is our hope.

In this message, we explore the Christmas story through Matthew’s Gospel—a narrative grounded in history, Scripture, and divine purpose. Focusing on Joseph’s obedient faith and the Magi’s earnest search for truth, we see Jesus revealed not as a sentimental figure, but as the promised King, fully God and fully man, who came to save His people from their sins. Matthew reminds us that Christmas is about God drawing seekers from every direction to bow in worship before Christ, Immanuel—God with us.

In this Christ-centered message from John 1, we explore how Christmas speaks powerfully to every heart—whether you are questioning, drifting, or deeply devoted. With biblical clarity and pastoral warmth, this message invites the skeptic to consider the claims of Christ, calls the wanderer to come home to grace, and challenges the faithful to prepare Him room. Christmas is more than a season—it is God drawing near. Don’t just celebrate Christ this Christmas. Receive Him.

Preparing Your Heart for Christmas: Hope for the Skeptic, the Wanderer, and the Believer

In today’s Christmas devotion, Pastor Christopher Enix speaks to three kinds of hearts we often meet during the holiday season:

• the open skeptic who wonders whether Jesus might truly be who He claimed to be,

• the believer who has drifted and longs to come home, and

• the follower of Christ who desires a deeper experience of His presence this Christmas.

With strong Scripture foundations and clear evangelical apologetics—including Dr. Gary Habermas’ Minimal Facts Argument for the resurrection—this message invites every listener to honestly reflect, draw near to Christ, and prepare room for Him in their heart.

Whether you’re questioning, returning, or growing—this episode will guide you toward the true meaning of Christmas: the God who came near.

From Lincoln’s 272 words at Gettysburg to Churchill’s wartime resolve, history has shown that a single sentence can redirect the course of humanity. Scripture goes even further—God created the universe with His words, and Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb with a command.

Yet the Bible is also brutally honest about the destructive power of speech. One lie in Eden unraveled creation. One careless rumor can unravel a marriage, a family, a church.

James 3 confronts us with this tension: the tongue can bless… and it can burn.

In this episode, Pastor Christopher Enix walks through James’s vivid illustrations—a bit in a horse’s mouth, a small rudder steering a massive ship, a spark that ignites a forest fire—to reveal:

Why our speech directs our lives, and why teachers will be judged with greater strictness.

Why no human being can tame it, why it contradicts itself, and why our words reveal the state of our hearts.

Why our mouths cannot produce what our hearts do not possess.

James contrasts earthly wisdom—rooted in jealousy and selfish ambition—with heavenly wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful, and sincere.

Finally, we look at the essential question:

If no human can tame the tongue… how can a Christian speak in a way that honors Christ?

Pastor Enix offers biblical, practical steps:

• Be born again—new hearts produce new words.

• Be filled with the Spirit—Spirit-filled people speak life.

• Discipline your tongue—ask: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

• Pray daily for pure speech—“Let the words of my mouth…” (Psalm 19:14)

This message invites believers to examine their speech, search their hearts, and draw on the wisdom from above that produces a “harvest of righteousness.”
