What happens when you run out?

In John 2:1–12, Jesus’ first miracle doesn’t happen in a temple or a crowd—but at a wedding where the wine has run dry. In this message, Pastor Ted Coniaris explores how Jesus responds to an ordinary moment of lack with extraordinary generosity.

At Cana, Jesus reveals himself as the gracious and generous I AM—meeting people in their insufficiency, removing shame, and providing more than anyone expects. Along the way, we’re invited to see ourselves in the story as those who run out, those who receive grace, and those who obey and participate in what God is doing.

This message calls us to trust Jesus with what’s empty in us—and to reflect his generosity in the lives of others.

Anna’s Song: Devotion That Shapes a Life | Luke 2

What if real spiritual change doesn’t come from more willpower — but from devotion formed over time?

In this message from Luke 2:36–38, John Ciesniewski reflects on the story of Anna the prophet, whose life was shaped by decades of prayer, fasting, and faithful worship. Anna’s song is brief, but her life tells a powerful story: small, daily acts of devotion slowly formed her into someone who recognized Jesus the moment redemption appeared.

This episode invites listeners to rethink New Year’s resolutions and consider a different path — one where prayer, fasting, and attention to God quietly reshape who we are becoming. If you’re longing for lasting spiritual formation, deeper faith, or a renewed sense of purpose, Anna’s story offers a hopeful and practical vision of devotion that endures.

The Song That Changes Everything | Christmas Eve Message

Why do angels sing?

In this Christmas Eve message from Luke 2, Ted Coniaris explores the surprising moments Scripture tells us the angels lift their voices — at creation, at the birth of Jesus, at the restoration of all things, and most personally, when one person turns back to God.

Through the angelic announcement to the shepherds and Jesus’ own words in Luke 15, this message reminds us that Christmas is not just about a moment in history, but about God’s ongoing invitation to forgiveness, peace, and new life. Jesus came not to leave us in our brokenness, but to bring true peace — the kind that heals, restores, and makes us whole.

This episode invites you to trust Jesus, return to Him, and discover that when you say yes, heaven rejoices and everything changes.

Many of us are waiting — for answers, for peace, for God to move in our story.

In this message from Luke 2:21–35, Chris Nichols reflects on the story of Simeon, a man who waited faithfully for what Scripture calls “the consolation of Israel.” Through Simeon’s song, we’re reminded that Jesus is not a temporary comfort, but true salvation and light — the fulfillment of God’s promises.

This episode invites listeners to trust that God’s faithfulness will be worth the wait, and that in seeing Jesus, we discover the hope we’ve been longing for all along.

Mary’s song in Luke 1 is often read as a gentle moment in the Christmas story, but it is anything but gentle.

In this message, Ted Coniaris explores the Magnificat and shows how Mary’s “yes” to God launched a Jesus Revolution — one that upends power, challenges the status quo, and redefines what it means to live faithfully. Far from a sentimental carol, Mary’s words announce a Kingdom where the humble are lifted up, the hungry are filled, and God’s promises are breaking into the world.

This episode invites listeners to consider what it looks like to surrender control, stand with the humble, and sing with hope in the middle of a broken world — trusting that what God has promised, He will bring to completion.

In Week 1 of Worship: The First Christmas Playlist, Ted Coniaris teaches from Luke 1 and explores the story of Zechariah—the first voice to break God’s 400 years of silence. Through Zechariah’s song, we discover that God is faithfully working behind the scenes for both the struggling and the striving, even when He feels quiet.

This episode reflects on how God meets us in silence, interrupts our busyness, and shines His light into the shadows of our lives through Jesus—the “rising sun from heaven.” If you’re in a season of waiting or wondering, this message offers fresh hope and a gentle invitation to listen for God’s voice again.
