Christmas at Brentwood

Sermon Notes | Jesus in the Land of Dragons
In this week’s episode of Sermon Notes, Jay Strother and Brian Ball share their favorite tools for studying Revelation, from study Bibles to deep-dive commentaries, before turning to Revelation 12. Together, they look at the Christmas story from heaven’s point of view, the enemy’s accusations against God’s people, and why the dragon who couldn’t stop the child can’t stop God’s plan today.
Whether you’re reading Revelation on your own or leading a Life Group through it, this conversation will help you dig deeper and stand firm in the victory Jesus has already won.
This is all God’s | The Burgos Family’s Giving Story
When the door they’d hoped for didn’t open, Steven and Ashton Burgos faced one trial after another: a long job search, their son’s surgery, living on one salary, and then an apartment flood at Christmas. Even then, they chose to tithe first. Hear how God provided for every single bill, sometimes through people they’d never met, and how giving taught them to depend on Him with everything.
