James Talarico Delivers Sermon On Finding Hope This Holiday Season

[@glendaadams1481]

This man proves that there is still hope for this world.

[@Kilgore_Trout_jr]

No, this man is lying. Religion is delusional. Religion: Together we can find a cure.

[@juneramirez8580]

There is always hope even if it is long coming. But you must have faith.

[@RobertStambaugh-l5r]

Jesus is our hope .

[@merlesimonson5974]

We need more like him

[@Humordoomer]

And he’s a politician too. I’m agnostic but I love this guy.

[@hfranklin2009]

I’m an old man, a lifelong Christian. I have heard many sermons and even delivered many. I truly love listening to this young man.

[@cynthiastarks7161]

I totally agree with you - I wish he were my representative.

[@JudyACrowe]

Me too…I also have been a lifelong Christian. I have decided to support James as much as I can. I am a professional artist and don’t make much money but James is worth supporting. God bless you James.

[@schannstewart9385]

He is a real pastor not a fake one or one with an agenda. God bless him!

[@maudieg8459]

I don’t belong to any organized religion, so I can say without bias that this young man has my greatest respect and appreciation. Thank you James, for shining your light.

[@maryfrump7937]

He reminds me so much of my pastor at my little church in Iowa growing up.

[@SixteenTonesStudio]

I'm prettymuch an atheist, anti-religion, non-spiritual apart from my appreciation for the aesthetic of occult/satanism... (possibly from being driven into contrarianism by SoBaps) and I love this guy. I wish every pastor had his kind of introspection; I think some others do, who aren't among the Osteen brand of 'prosperity gospel' but remain silent for the sake of their congregation, so they think. I've heard stories from depressed pastors who no longer 'believe' in the way that their structured religion would insist, and they struggle with whether to leave the clergy altogether

[@jacquelineduplantier5563]

💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@THFrenchteacher]

If this man were in my vicinity, I would join his church. As an agnostic, Christmas is always hard for me. “Peace on Earth” seem to be shallow words Christian’s sing, while they elect a man who wants to put groups of humans in cages. They scream words of hate towards people who are different from them. Thank you Mr Tallarico for showing what a true Christian should sound and act like. You have my highest respect. This is the most brilliant Christmas sermon I’ve heard. Thank you! 🙏💜🙏

[@Wanderingdisneygirl]

👏 ❤

[@kaymack5304]

I couldn’t have said it better.

[@emotionalfish1181]

I feel the EXACT same way.

[@critterscute3642]

James Talarico is a beautiful soul. ❤🙏

[@JohnsonChacko-cm8kx]

You remind us to never confuse kindness for weakness...

[@mariegumpel4955]

❤

[@oceanecastelnau9821]

James Talarico is God's response to Greg Abbott 🔥

[@JudyACrowe]

Amen!

[@Lisa-xz8rx]

YOU are what a Christian should be. The fruits of the Spirit shine through you! Thank you for your incredible teachings.

[@RichardRutcosky]

Excellent James you are a light in these dark times Lord bless you and Thank You so much

[@davebicker8618]

A wise man indeed. If churches were filled with men and women like James, then all would begin to be well.

[@vz4779]

I agree.

[@anonamouse.p4115]

I agree, Father God we Lift Up James Talarico in deep gratitude as he models out a Scripturally Obedient Follower of JESUS that We Pray has been placed by you in Government to model out the Christianity the United States and the World needs so desperately to see. AMEN.

[@anchorskid]

If governments were filled with men and women like James, then all the world would begin to be well.

[@juneramirez8580]

Well all those who run churches are all just human. So keep searching because pastors like him are out there. Don't waste your time in a different church.

[@denniscampeau6577]

What a wonderful uplifting intelligent and loving man! Thank you !

[@corrineweber4065]

Always offering words of hope and kindness which are needed now especially during these dark times. Thank you James Talarico!

[@bornstandin]

James representing us is hope, as we face the challenging and heartbreaking four years to come. 💙

[@jrcenteno1896]

I have such admiration for Congressman/Pastor Talarico. If only we had more human beings like him in Politics. We would welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, not bear "false witness", and we would all pay our taxes instead of billionaires cheating and manipulating to not pay their taxes. Because they don't like helping the poor and unprivileged. So sad, 😢

[@JillyEliot]

I listen to James's sermons from Durban, South Africa and love his gentle delivery of The Word. God bless this young man.

[@cwrichar]

Pastor, thank you for allowing God to use you. The country is desperate for your authentic preaching.

[@millettesmart3784]

Now this is a REAL Christian! ❤❤❤

[@brittanyb.7781]

I want him to be President lol 🌠🙏🏼🕊️

[@nickrouse8426]

In a perfect world, James Talarico and AOC would be at the top of a ticket with Bernie Sanders as the Speaker of the House. ❤ Then, America could find morality again. If only.

[@JudyACrowe]

Me too.

[@PaulieTan]

Pastor/Congressman James Talarico thank you for giving me hope this is a sad month for me bec of my loss of my parents n brothers and the result of this newly elected admin his nepotism n oligarchs n some members of the cabinet n Elon Musk who is heartless.You are not self righteous n judgmental compared to some so called christians ,catholics. Bless yiou and family.

[@carolmcclanahan6909]

As this pastor reminds us, Christmas is synonymous with hope. “The weary world rejoices.”

[@jennnewman6444]

Mr Talarico is a light in the darkness! Even if you don’t have a religion or believe in Christ, this man will make you believe in the kindness and love we all should strive to live in. To embody the spirit of love and compassion to others and be our best selves. To give to those in need and rather than use our energy on negativity we should change our view to one more conducive to a better world. Not just because it’s Christmas, but it is the season of hope, we should take a minute to ask ourselves what are we doing to make the world a better place? Merry Christmas!! ✌️♥️

[@GhostnisanArt]

Please please do more sermons. You remind me every time of whom I serve. Peace and blessings 💜✨🙏🏿

[@KariRazo-wb1cg]

True voice of a lover of God, the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit! 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼

[@PlatypusBear-]

I wish my mom had a pastor like James.

[@NancyLynch-w6i]

I cant express how much hope this young man inspires!

[@Texican117]

I wish I had a pastor like this nearby. Finding it hard to stay on the path during these times.

[@brooklyngal-b1b]

me too

[@seaslife60]

He's a Texas State Representative!

[@acafe53]

Go to a really small church. You are more likely to find a pastor like this. My husband is a pastor of two small country churches. We find real community in these tiny churches.

[@ashotofsherry]

You are a true blessing and voice of all that Christ taught.

[@cherylwoodul9127]

Beautiful sermon, thank you, James! 💙🌲💙

[@Jack-eo5fn]

Extraordinary. Without question the deepest and best Christmas message I’ve ever heard.

[@kiki9618]

What a beautiful sermon from beginning to end, created and delivered by a man full of wisdom, love and hope, shared with me by my best friend right when I needed it at Christmastime.

[@carlleggett1379]

This is a ture Christian. Thank you so much from Arizona

[@DeKKH]

Thank you Pastor Talarico 🙏 You are a good man 🌹

[@seaslife60]

He's a Texas State Representative. 💙

[@juneramirez8580]

God even puts an angel in hell! Not meant to be funny.

[@5150cappie]

Refreshing to see a respectable Christian in Texas. Semper Fi, All. ✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Supercali506]

He’s a rose among thorns. Someone Texas can be proud of.

[@01NeilHD]

I hope that if/when he's ready to run for president, America is ready to welcome him

[@kitchnella]

Yes and Amen 🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏

[@sherryobar5750]

Thank You For Truth & Peace 🙏 God Be With Us ✝️

[@lisabowers2197]

This man should be our president, I just love listening to him speak.

[@mariagrabiak7588]

Beautiful sermon💜Thank you so much James,for giving me such hope in these dark times.May God bless you,& your family 🙏

[@Cariad247]

Wonderful...praise God.

[@bauhnguefyische667]

Et lux in tenebris lucet. ‘The light in darkness shines’ Just a word of hope in the darkest times can make all the difference to someone struggling with despair.

[@josephmorten9129]

I've been a Christian for 30 years now and surrounded by people who sound like they have never read The Bible and they sound nothing like The Jesus who gave us The Sermon On The Mount. James is the first I;ve heard who sounds like he knows The Bible.

[@WiseOldTales]

James is the real deal. He is the epitome of everything that is good. That is true Christian.! That is God,

[@maryantonacci7622]

Thank you! So so comforting to listen to this man! Appreciate you so very much!

[@JamesLTyreeII]

THIS is Christianity!

[@loveGodandJesusalways]

Thank you James for pressing into the Spirit and for your beautiful true testifying words of the love and in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 🙏

[@loulh7899]

Now here stands a truly remarkable true man of God. Blessed be this man of God ❤

[@LanierHarper]

Thank you James for pointing us all towards Jesus The Christ 🌍💙🔯✝️ In the beginning there was the Word 🕉 OM

[@ernestlightfoot4043]

This sermon is absolutely beautiful! It is definitely a message that all of us who care for compassion and social justice need to hear in these dark times. Thank you!

[@TuesdayAfternoon-tm9vc]

James, thank you for this beautiful Christmas message. O Holy Night is also my favorite Christmas song (especially Josh Groban’s version …!) I really needed to hear this tonite. It has given me renewed hope and comfort that there is perfect love in Jesus.

[@mrpygmalion1]

You might make me believe again.

[@karensimon876]

This brought me to tears. Thank you, I needed this.

[@Hpy2BNana]

From his first message in the TX House to his shared sermon on YT to this Christmas message, I am more impressed every time I hear him speak. Very proud he's one of our Reps here in TX, and I'd be happy to attend any church he spoke at, too.

[@JunGuwapo773]

What a great message! Truly one of the deeper meaning of Christmas!

[@vz4779]

What a beautiful human being.

[@kaymack5304]

This is the kind of church I want to be a part of. What an honorable, wise man.

[@phil1825]

I love you brother! Some day soon we will rejoice together with Jesus. Keep speaking the Truth

[@ovidiogil1488]

"Blessed are those who are humble their's the kingdom of God." How encouraging and enlightening is this message you are spreading into us, especially at this precise time of darkness and uncertainty that we are facing today. These peaceful words are very refreshing, for they are full of hope and peace. God bless and enlighten you, dear James.

[@PaulieTan]

I hope the the Maga the deceitful greedy Billionaires politicians including Elon Musk will listen to this message

[@kellyharper367]

Amen! To me... Christmas is always about love, hope, light, and the fulfillment of a new covenant with the Creator! ✨️

[@kokostevens1071]

Before Mega churches there were small intimate churches with maybe 300 to 400 members. Everyone knew everyone, if elders saw you acting out, they had permission to set you straight and send you down the straight path. It was another level of security in your community, you were protected and if you called yourself running away from home, your parents somehow knew where you ended up and the route you took to get there. There was a vigilant network of church congregants who watched you on the way and you never knew. Most of us didn't have to get in the car to go to church bc we walked, unless your family moved out of the community. The sick and shut-ins didn't call the church office to let them know they were sick, the church knew they were missing from Sunday service and several would call or stop by to check on them. The church was a community of people who loved and cared about you, they'd seek you out and check on you and rally around you, good Samaritan style if you were down and out. Thank you for the message, it made me long for the church of my youth, I'm 69 y o but I still miss it. I haven't been in my (Mega) church building since pre COVID, I've received one call since then and that was to tell me how to start a small group study and how to give online. To God be the glory, for all the good and wonderful things He has done!!!!!

[@PaulieTan]

Amen

[@rlunger1]

I listen to you. Please continue to voice your messages! Ross

[@LanierHarper]

The will of God moves the World ✝️

[@Rosie-wj1le]

Oh my gosh what a great sermon. So humble and refreshing.

[@maryhiggins6783]

Just told.my.mother we will NOT be participating in Christmas. This man though ❤

[@glendaadams1481]

Love this man. 🙏🏼💙

[@celinehary3222]

I love your message and I love listening to you. It’s comforting. Thank you, James! 🙏🫶🏻💙

[@malumejia8766]

Awesome message! May God bless you for spreading hope in this time when it is needed!

[@loriyates6617]

Thank you for spreading love and hope 💙

[@ogathingo8885]

Warm greetings from India to Pastor James Talarino and to all your viewers from a Buddhist. Sir you are a truly follower of Jesus and if there more like you in America, there is still hope for USA! May peace,freedom and compassion prevail in 2025 and beyond… MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and around the world 🌎.

[@KathrynTanner-t8f]

Thanks, James. Crying again, I'm crying a lot at odd times these days. I do believe this is the closest I've ever been to a true depression. I used to enjoy going to church once a week and getting a dose of hope. But a few years ago I was driven out by a doofus preaching about trump from the pulpit. No hope to be had there. Thanks for this reminder that hope is still available.

[@libbiecrawford467]

I pray you find a community that speaks to your heart whether in person or online. Sending prayers and love to you.

[@Hibernia2324]

I miss my dad, grandparents, in-laws, great aunts and uncles, and good friends. Such good memories of wonderful people.

[@5150cappie]

Respect and honor. God bless this real man.🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@hernanyepes8316]

Been a catholic and hearing to James, I came to a conclusion that it should be a universal belief and this world should be much better

[@highlandlass70]

Thankyou James for a truly inspiring and encouraging message. May God bless you and yours this Christmas.

[@paulwalenesky5833]

Thanks for reminding me that kindness is not weakness and the weary world rejoices!

[@alfredsilva2446]

Thank you James I thank you for the wonderful Christmas service God bless you and your family and have a merry Christmas pray for more minster's like you Jesus name 🙏 amen

[@kokostevens1071]

In Jesus name, Amen.

[@edwardkasprowicz]

Thank God for James Talarico, and thank God he reminds us that hope springs eternal. God is with us at Christmas and always, even when our world is sad. Maybe now, even more so.

[@appelblossom4311]

Aloha from the 50th state! As a non-Christian or a person who does not believe in religion I really appreciated your sermon! I really hope one day you will rise and politics beyond the Texas state legislature! Thank you for conferencing all religions during this time if needed! I was raised as a Jewish woman, but I do not practice nor do I support Prime Minister Netanyahu treatment of Palestinian civilians. I truly believe if Christ was alive today, he would LOATHE everything MAGA!

[@ezrafernando908]

God bless you sir.

[@sueellerbee5621]

I think he should run for president.

[@SteveRobertson-vv4xz]

This holy man could never win as president in the US when voters elect someone like Donald Trump.🥲

[@retrostephanie1]

I'm LDS but I listen to you all the time and wish I lived closer so I could attend your church. Thanks for giving us hope. It's been hard for me especially after the election and being surrounded by family members and people here in Utah who support a man like Trump /hate/and rhetoric. Listening to you makes me feel like I'm not alone in my beliefs.

[@adridelarosaj]

"Fall, on your knees..... and hear, the Angel voices.... o night, divine... oh night, when Christ was born..."❤❤❤ Thank you, James, for this most beautiful rendition of words that honor our most precious holy day, in breadth, depth, and meaning ❤❤❤

[@carmengrech963]

Thank you so much James! You are truly a shining light! God Bless you and your family in this Beautiful season of Christmas! 🙏🙏

[@EllieM_Travels]

James is one of the good ones!

[@LourdesWaldo]

Thank you for your kind words. I’m feeling that darkness that you spoke about, praying to The Lord that soon he show us the path and the light to the people of this beautiful country of ours. Jesus be our light and guide us to be a better country in which we understand each other and respect each other.

[@rs6588]

This sermon gives me comfort, joy and hope for Christianity and our beloved nation. Thank you James!

[@NancyLynch-w6i]

What a ray of hope he is!

[@hapennysparrow]

Christmas Carols are sung as testimonies of Gods faithfulness in the midst of the present datkness threatening to engulf us. "Oh, Holy Night," is one song that continues to bear witness of His promised return. He came first to initiate His Kingdom and build it in His follower's hearts; He comes again, not in secret, but with trumpet sound and in the clouds. Every eye shall see Him. He will then take His rightful seat and rule the nations with justice and truth. We wait with eager anticipation for His righteous rule. In the waiting, we must continue shining our light in a dark world by walking as He walked, loving as He loved, bowing only to truth. Loved this message. It is easy to fall into dispair, but we must continue to stand in hope. He will come again, just as He promised.

[@avaholford3594]

So beautiful spread the love and light

[@nicolemcintyre8098]

Thank you ❤

[@marydanhayes7404]

Amen. I thank God that you are called to bring His word.

[@Lani.4747-x2o]

I'm unsure about all religions especially this one. Even though I grew up knowing Sunday school or even revival's. I've always been around "Christianity" but since I've grew older I grew further apart from Jesus s Love. Until now I'm 33yrs old I'm searching for that love .

[@SER-x8m]

Thank you

[@richardszablewski1420]

James you are such a inspiration. I always look forward to listening to you. I wish more people would listen to you. I want to wish you and your family, a very Merry Christmas. James if there were more people in the world like you, this world would be a better place to live.

[@cgayleturcotte6306]

Thank you for this it came out a time when I really needed to hear some 'Good News'. I will play this over and over through this holiday season.

[@bethcunningham2737]

Fall on your knees oh hear the angels voices of Night Devine Oh Holy night when Christ was born! Thank you for your continued support of Our King Jesus! May the Spirit of the Lord continue to be upon you and bring you peace and joy all the days of your life 🙏 ❤.

[@perber123]

Mr. Talarico, thank you for your words.❤ When you mentioned holding the candle, and making sure it wouldn't burn out, reminded me of my childhood years of our candlelight services singing, "Oh Holy Night" as well.🤗❤ I come from a family of nine children. I remember the importance of my parents taking us to church very vividly. I'm so thankful for the relationship we have with our Lord!🤍 God bless you!❤

[@lindasoukup5112]

Thank you! This is just what I needed to hear, today!

"Oh Holy Night" is also my favorite..I love hearing from you, James Talarico. 🙏✝️
