Pastor Linda Meyer preaches on Baptism of the Lord Sunday
The nativity isn’t a perfect Christmas card but a real story of God entering messy, ordinary life. Jesus was born into humble, complicated circumstances, showing that God meets us where we are—not where we wish we were. Do you need that? Know it is available wherever and whoever you are, no matter what!
Merry Christmas from Trinity UMC Loveland, CO
Angels in Scripture are not decorations but disruptive messengers who reveal what God is doing. Throughout the Bible and the Christmas story, they point beyond themselves to Christ. Advent calls us to listen for God in unexpected places and to become messengers of hope ourselves.
Like Christmas lights shining brilliantly in the darkest winter nights, our role during Advent is to bring joy filled light into the shadows of the world around us. Advent is a season filled with anticipation, hope, and preparation—not just for a celebration, but as a profound reminder that good overcomes evil, and life triumphs over death.
Today we trace the roots of Santa Claus back to the real Saint Nicholas, a bold Christian leader known for generosity and standing firm in faith. It explores how the modern Santa evolved and challenges us to look beyond the commercial image to the true meaning behind the names Kris Kringle and Christkindl—pointing us to the Christ Child.
Why does the Christmas tree hold so much deeper meaning than just holiday decor? We explore how this and other traditions point to God’s promise of eternal life through Jesus. Discover how familiar symbols can bring fresh hope and meaning to your Advent season.
When the odds feel stacked against us, both the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team and Jesus’ disciples show us how hope and courage lead to victory. This message challenges us to step into our God-given gifts and stewardship with bold faith. Discover how trusting in Christ’s guaranteed victory can inspire us to serve and live with confidence.
Christians shine brightest when people use their spiritual gifts together through teamwork. From cookies to chili to transforming a garden, God keeps showing what happens when a congregation moves in harmony. If you’re longing for purpose, belonging, or a fresh start, this episode points toward the life God is inviting you to join
God often calls unlikely people to step into big moments, just like Moses, Gideon, and even Ollie from Hoosiers. This episode challenges us to trust that God can use our gifts no matter how small they seem and invites everyone to get off the bench and into the work God is doing right now. You might be the one who helps put the whole team over the top.

When we look at the faces of those we’ve lost, it’s easy to feel like we’re letting them down or that our church isn’t what it used to be. But the saints who came before us aren’t judging us—they’ve been perfected in grace and now cheer us on with Christ’s love. Their presence reminds us that we’re still part of the same story, still running the race God has set before us.
A game show and a few famous quarterbacks help reveal a powerful truth: greatness isn’t always where we expect it. Drawing from Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 12, we explore how God gives every person unique spiritual gifts meant for the good of all, not just a chosen few. It’s a reminder that what’s inside — the heart, the Spirit’s work — is what truly makes us great.
Discover how the Parable of the Prodigal Son shows lavish love and how pairing spiritual grace with physical abundance can transform our tables. From potlucks to simple meals, see how generosity, welcome, and care bring a glimpse of God’s kingdom into everyday life.
Jesus shows us that putting distractions aside, listening deeply, and asking curious questions can open the door to grace and connection at our own tables. Discover how presence itself can become an act of love.
Today we celebrate World Communion Sunday and marvel at what makes the table such a powerful place of connection. From family meals to Jesus’ last supper, tables hold laughter, stories, and sometimes even conflict. This message explores how Christ’s table invites us into forgiveness, openness, and a love that transforms every table we gather around.
What if salvation isn’t about checking boxes or saying the right words, but about seeing how God’s love meets you where you are? From the chaos of youth group stories to the parable of the prodigal son, we’ll explore how grace shows up differently for each of us. Whether you’re the younger son, the older son, or somewhere in between, your story belongs.
What exactly is sin and why does it still matter today? From missed marks to deep wounds, from the sting of betrayal to the quiet distance from God, we all know its weight. Discover how grace meets us in every failure and pulls us closer to love, connection, and purpose.
What does it mean to “choose life” when we’re tired, aging, or facing decline? Pastor Bryson reflects on Trinity’s 75th anniversary, Moses’ challenge in Deuteronomy, and Paul’s win/win view of life and death. Discover why death doesn’t get the final word and how freedom from fear opens us to abundant life in Christ.
