Georgia pastor Jentezen Franklin recently performed a beautiful saxophone rendition of “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” and it’s simply stunning. If you’ve never heard a sax take front and center in a hymn, this is a good place to start. Watch the video to listen to the pastor praise God through his performance. 

As the pastor plays his sax beautifully for a large audience, he’s accompanied by a piano. The notes sound so lovely and sweet by themselves, even without lyrics. But if you are familiar with “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” you will be reminded of the song’s simple words:

Great is thy faithfulness, O God, my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee.
Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.

Thomas Chisholm originally wrote the hymn as a poem in 1923. He sent the poem to Reverend William Runyan, a musician at Moody Bible Institute and editor of Hope Publishing Company in Chicago. When Reverend William received the poem, he was very moved and quickly composed a tune to accompany the words. 

He said, “This particular poem held such an appeal that I prayed most earnestly that my tune might carry over its message in a worthy way, and the subsequent history of its use indicates that God answered prayer.” Indeed, Jentezen’s performance is a testament to that in every sense. Reverend William’s tune for the song carries a message in itself. God’s faithfulness is, and always will be, steadfast. 

“For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.” Romans 4:16

No matter the situation, God is always there to love us and comfort us.

Skillet turns “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” into a hard-hitting rock tune. This cover of the beloved Christmas classic is unlike any version you’ve ever heard. Watch the short clip to see the official music for Skillet’s cover of “O Come O Come Emmanuel.”

Christmas is, without a doubt, the most wonderful time of the entire year. Many beloved songs, seasonal television specials and movies repeatedly state this. And given all that comes along with Christmas, it’s hard to argue otherwise. Who doesn’t enjoy spending time with family and friends, eating way too much delicious, delectable food and opening a gift or two? That does sound like a wonderful time, and one that no other holiday or time of year can compete with.

Another thing that often accompanies the Christmas season is the playing of all the classic, traditional songs. Some may start listening earlier than others, but we all love them regardless. While we all love the conventional versions of Christmas songs, it’s also nice to hear other musicians’ takes and interpretations on these tunes.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Christian rock band has released its take on “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” This rendition is a dramatic departure from what you and I are used to, but what’s wrong with some change now and then, right?

“O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear”

We are all individuals, with no two being 100 percent alike. Everyone has different musical tastes and preferences, and for those who like their Christmas music with a little more edge and bass, this version is definitely for you. It won’t be for everyone, but then again, that’s the case with every kind of music. You won’t please everyone.

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Christmas came early this year—wrapped in palm trees, sandy beaches, and a whole lot of boy band nostalgia. Add Backstreet Boys' spreading holiday cheer with ‘Feliz Navidad' lyric video to your playlist. I may or may not be a fan girl over here, getting excited over the group that broke out when I was in the 8th grade. Does that age me or any of us? Let’s forget it and start rejoicing. 

They just released a whole lot of groovy beach vibes mixed with Christmas, even though Thanksgiving hasn’t arrived yet, more than 117,000 people have already pressed play. And honestly… we get it.

It’s the kind of video that makes you smile before you even realize you’re smiling. Seagulls swoop across bright skies as snowmen somehow survive on sun-soaked sand. Santa and his reindeer glide over turquoise waves like they traded chimneys for shoreline, and suddenly Christmas feels bigger, brighter, and beautifully unexpected.

It’s pure holiday joy with a tropical twist.

This is the kind of song you play while stirring soup on the stove… and then suddenly you’re dancing in the kitchen instead. Or maybe you skip the cooking altogether, let the music play, and pretend you’re somewhere warm while snow taps against the window.

Because somehow, strangely, wonderfully—it works both ways.

It sounds like Mexico calling you away to the beach… and yet it fits perfectly with the hush of a snowstorm rolling in across the Midwest. It’s Christmas for every kind of heart—whether it’s covered in sunscreen or wool scarves. And here I am in the middle of Nebraska with this sound playing in the background! 

There’s something about light-hearted Christmas music that reminds us we don’t always have to wait for the “perfect” moment to celebrate. Sometimes joy can start early, before the calendar says it’s time, before everything is ready, before the world feels settled.

Sometimes Christmas begins wherever we decide to make room for cheer.

So go ahead—press play. Let the Backstreet Boys carry you into the season with palm trees and snowflakes and a holiday classic sung under a tropical sky. We don’t have to wait for the calendar to give us permission. Joy gets to show up early. Loud. Unapologetic. With maracas. Jesus came to bring joy into every corner of the world—and sometimes that joy sounds like “Feliz Navidad” in November.

Luke 2:10 “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’”

Some songs are so familiar that we think we already know how they sound. Until one day, someone sings it in a way that stops the world. Listen to this chilling ‘Come All Ye Faithful’ a cappella rendition and try not to preach to your choir about it. It’s that good!

When this incredible all-vocal group Home Free released their stunning version of ‘O Come All Ye Faithful.’ I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m pretty sure I fell out of my chair. One minute I was watching… the next, I was on the floor, hands over my heart, wondering how a song I had heard a thousand times could suddenly feel brand new.

We’re used to hearing this hymn in church—sturdy and choral, pews full, hymnals open. But when these five men begin to sing, it’s something else entirely. In the music video, their faces fade into one another as the song unfolds, like a story we’ve always known but never heard like this.

And then the chorus hits.

The room opens up. The harmonies stretch wide. The church they’re singing in feels like it might burst at the seams. It’s not just beautiful—it’s worship. It’s wonderful. And I can’t wait for you to hear it. 

‘Home Free’ is known for their deep voices—and when I say deep, I mean deep enough to rattle your bones. But the moment they lift into the highest of high harmonies, you just sit there stunned, wondering how voices can stretch from the floorboards to the rafters like that.

This isn’t just a song—It’s a moment that hits your heart to open wide to start the Christmas season of holiday cheer and the love of Jesus. 

It’s the kind of music video you add to your Christmas playlist and play on repeat while you’re wrapping gifts or baking cookies, or maybe just sitting in the quiet letting the season sink in. You can’t help but smile. You can’t help but hum. You can’t help but worship.

Five men. One song we’ve known all our lives. And somehow it feels like the first time all over again.

Psalm 95:6 “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.”

This family’s soul-stirring ‘When We All Get to Heaven’ Performance will lift your spirit and warm your heart. This group of brothers loves getting together and worshiping God. Play the video to see for yourself!

Five of the Kuykendall siblings sing in this video, while one plays the piano. It’s wonderful to hear youthful voices sing and love, and harmonize together as a family. And it is an excellent song that they’ve chosen. “When We All Get to Heaven” is a wondrous hymn that’s bright and hopeful. It speaks about the things we can look forward to as believers after death. Some of the thoroughly composed lyrics are: 

When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout the victory!

This hymn was written by Eliza Edmunds Hewitt in 1898, during a difficult time in her life. Eliza was a schoolteacher and hymn writer. One day, after she scolded a student, the student maliciously hit her back with a slate, which left Eliza in a cast for six months. Eliza never recovered from the incident and remained invalid for the rest of her life. It was after her accident that she threw herself into writing hymns.

It’s easy to see why these lyrics came to Eliza. She likely longed to be restored and looked forward to greater things, as we all do sometimes. Despite her circumstances, Eliza found the courage to hold onto hope, and we should do the same. If you’re a believer in Christ, no matter what the circumstance, you can have hope that you will one day see those “pearly gates” and “golden streets.”

This cover by the Kuykendall family is an uplifting reminder to us all, so be encouraged as you listen to their song.

Jordan Peterson has been very ill for a while. A friend of mine passed away in April, due to complications caused by a Staph infection and Pneumonia. This caused Staph Pneumonia, a very aggressive condition. I don't know if Jordan's condition included staph, but considering how close he came to death, it's possible that his Pneumonia was complicated by other influences, like staph, sepsis, or strep. He's on the recovery side now, but it's a long road back to health, so pray for him. He still needs all the prayers he can get.

As the video begins, Blessing is at the piano with his suave suit and glasses as he kicks off the Christmas cheer on a high note. He is in front of a Christmas tree and begins to decorate as he sings. You will feel as if you are right there in the living room singing a carol with him.

The chorus celebrates:

Everybody everywhere, every moment's feeling right
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night
May your laughter fill the air, may your Christmas tree be bright
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night

By the end of the song, you will be learning and singing the melody with Blessing. He is a person who has such a contagious joy about him. You get to see behind-the-scenes clips of him performing the music video during the bridge. 

Blessing is quite the pianist. He plays the keys with such great precision and excellence. He sings with strength and dignity in his voice. His flair and fun come out naturally anytime he performs. Blessing always brings a singable melody to his music. 

He is a gifted songwriter. It is not easy to write a Christmas song, but this is one that you will want to hear and play again every season. 

Prepare to be blessed. You will love how he sings out the name of Jesus at the end and smiles. This song will give you a newfound excitement no matter your age as you prepare your heart for this wonderful season of Christmas.

"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior." Titus 3:4-6

Listen to this beautiful Christmas duet from Steven Curtis Chapman and CeCe Winans of the song ‘Christmas Is All in the Heart.’ This song reminds us that the core message of Christmas is fundamentally about God's presence and love for humanity. Let this song encourage and uplift you today!

‘Cause Christmas is all in the heart, that's where the feeling starts
And like a fire inside, it touches every part
Cause Christmas is all in the heart, and even if no white snow falls
That's all right because the joy can still be found wherever you are’

What a wonderful song, and Steven Curtis Chapman and CeCe Winans sound incredible singing it together. ‘Christmas Is All in the Heart’ was originally written by Steven Curtis Chapman, and he recorded it for his 2004 Christmas album. The song was inspired by the biblical message of Christmas, emphasizing that the true meaning of the holiday is about God coming to be with people, offering comfort and the message that they are not alone, especially in difficult times.

What is beautiful about this recording is that Steven Curtis Chapman got the chance to sing  ‘Christmas Is All in the Heart’ again with CeCe Winans.

“I got to record this song 30 years ago with the one and only CeCe Winans…and somehow, by God’s goodness and grace, I got to sing and record it again all these years later with that same amazing lady who still has one of the most beautiful hearts and voices of anyone on the planet! And now we get to share it with you!” he shares.

Steven Curtis Chapman has also recently announced his "The Music of Christmas Tour," which celebrates thirty years since the release of his first Christmas album of the same name. The tour will bring an unforgettable evening of holiday music, worship, and cherished classics to ten cities across the U.S. this November and December.

We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘Christmas Is All in the Heart’ today!
