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.
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.
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.
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! 🙏💜🙏
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.
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
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.
Me too I actually ran out of a church that I attended for like 14 years they basically shut me out because I refuse to vote for the Orange Guy I will never walk into another church again I will read my Bible and pray do my devotionals at home but I will not tell anyone that I am because I want to be linked to these idiots thank God there's a pastor that really really is a true Christian what I was taught to be anyway
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!
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, 😢
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.
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.
Thank You for this James & a very Merry Christmas to you and all of your family 🥰 Please keep on shining your light & standing up for all that is good with democracy & humanity 🕊️
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.
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 🌎.
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
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!! ✌️♥️
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your courage and determination to tell the truth and mirror the reality brings me more hope than you will know. It restores my belief that there may be true states”people” you are in my prayers.
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.
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.
@@nickrouse8426 Um, you do realize that the majority of the Democratic Party disagrees with his political views, right? The majority of his political proposals have been turned down … by democrats. The Speaker of the House should be a moderate. It seems that in a perfect world, the Speaker of the House would be in the middle of the political spectrum, so, that person doesn’t lean toward one side.
"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.
"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 ❤❤❤
I doubt my hope will ever be extinguished, but it's been taking a heck of a beating. This sermon is so beautiful and inspiring. Like a leg up back on that horse, it brought me to tears. I think a big part of it is the collective spirit of being. Not money or objects, just being and caring about others and wanting to limit suffering.
Thank you for being a beacon of hope for our country. And based on the beautiful comments, I believe we will be alright. It will be tough, but we will be alright. Much love ❤
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!❤
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.
James Talarico is a beautiful soul. ❤🙏
This man proves that there is still hope for this world.
No, this man is lying. Religion is delusional. Religion: Together we can find a cure.
There is always hope even if it is long coming. But you must have faith.
Jesus is our hope .
We need more like him
And he’s a politician too. I’m agnostic but I love this guy.
You remind us to never confuse kindness for weakness...
❤
Excellent James you are a light in these dark times Lord bless you and Thank You so much
He is a real pastor not a fake one or one with an agenda. God bless him!
This is the pastor from his home church if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/PyF14UG6ndM/w-d-xo.html
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.
I totally agree with you - I wish he were my representative.
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.
@@cynthiastarks7161 Me too.
the power of the truth he shares is comforting ❤
James Talarico is God's response to Greg Abbott 🔥
Amen!
YOU are what a Christian should be. The fruits of the Spirit shine through you! Thank you for your incredible teachings.
Amen. So true, his every word is divine like I've never heard a politician before.
Always offering words of hope and kindness which are needed now especially during these dark times. Thank you James Talarico!
What a wonderful uplifting intelligent and loving man! Thank you !
James representing us is hope, as we face the challenging and heartbreaking four years to come. 💙
A wise man indeed. If churches were filled with men and women like James, then all would begin to be well.
I agree.
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.
If governments were filled with men and women like James, then all the world would begin to be well.
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.
Now here stands a truly remarkable true man of God.
Blessed be this man of God ❤
Amen. Amen.
I listen to James's sermons from Durban, South Africa and love his gentle delivery of The Word. God bless this young man.
I am an agnostic, and I would vote for this guy to be our President or any other leadership position in a heartbeat.
2028? Yes! But does studying for the seminary mean he’s leaving politics? Say it ain’t so! We need him!
I’m agnostic, but he’s the kind of good, humble, intelligent religious leader I can fully support. We need more people like him in the world.
Run for president
Thank you State Representative Takarico. Blessings to you sir.
I cant express how much hope this young man inspires!
Thank you! So so comforting to listen to this man! Appreciate you so very much!

I couldn’t have said it better.
I feel the EXACT same way.
Amen and thank you.
He's an elected official also
True voice of a lover of God, the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit!
🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼
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.
He reminds me so much of my pastor at my little church in Iowa growing up.
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.

💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Extraordinary. Without question the deepest and best Christmas message I’ve ever heard.
I wish I had a pastor like this nearby. Finding it hard to stay on the path during these times.
me too
He's a Texas State Representative!

Dont need a church. Just my family and God. Dont give up.
As this pastor reminds us, Christmas is synonymous with hope. “The weary world rejoices.”
Beautiful sermon, thank you, James!
💙🌲💙
This is a ture Christian. Thank you so much from Arizona
Thank You For Truth & Peace 🙏
God Be With Us ✝️
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!
You are a true blessing and voice of all that Christ taught.
Love this man. 🙏🏼💙
This brought me to tears. Thank you, I needed this.
What a great message! Truly one of the deeper meaning of Christmas!
I listen to you. Please continue to voice your messages! Ross
Thank you for spreading love and hope 💙
I wish my mom had a pastor like James.
James is the real deal. He is the epitome of everything that is good. That is true Christian.!
That is God,
This is the kind of church I want to be a part of. What an honorable, wise man.
Thank you Pastor Talarico 🙏
You are a good man 🌹
James is one of the good ones!
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, 😢
What a beautiful human being.
Thankyou James for a truly inspiring and encouraging message. May God bless you and yours this Christmas.
Oh my gosh what a great sermon. So humble and refreshing.
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. 🙏

God even puts an angel in hell! Not meant to be funny.
Refreshing to see a respectable Christian in Texas. Semper Fi, All. ✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He’s a rose among thorns. Someone Texas can be proud of.
