This message from Pastor Micah explores Christmas as the central story of Scripture and God’s enduring desire to be with His people. Beginning in Genesis, it traces how God walked with humanity, how sin broke that relationship, and how God immediately moved to restore what was lost. The message points to the promise in the garden, the need for a perfect Mediator greater than Moses, and the fulfillment of that promise in Christ. Christmas is revealed not as an isolated event, but as the moment God steps into history to restore access and dwell with us once again.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESGenesis 3:8, Genesis 3:14 to 15, Genesis 3:8 to 13, Genesis 12:3, Genesis 22:18, Genesis 26:24, Genesis 28:15, Exodus 3:12, Exodus 25:8, Deuteronomy 18:15, Zechariah 2:10 to 11, Revelation 3:20Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have an

Pastor Micah Stephens, senior pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel, delivers a powerful exposition of 1 Peter 2:1–10, teaching that believers are living stones being built into a spiritual house with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. Using vivid construction imagery and personal anecdotes—like sorting warped 2x4s at Home Depot and the miraculous way a mother’s breast milk customizes antibodies for her baby—Micah urges the church to lay aside malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and evil speaking, to crave the pure milk of God’s Word like newborns, and to draw near to Jesus daily. He explains that only through Christ are we formed into a holy, royal priesthood offering acceptable spiritual sacrifices: praise, generosity, prayer, evangelism, repentance, and ultimately our whole lives as living sacrifices. In a culture that rejects the perfect cornerstone, believers are called to build everything upon Him—finding stability, belonging, and purpose—or stumble over Him in disobedience.Reference Verses1 Peter 2 verses
