Before the Wrapping Paper and the Noise

Before the lights are turned on.
Before the gifts are opened.
Before the table fills and the conversations begin—

Pause.

In the midst of the rush and expectations, Christmas invites us to pause for a moment and remember what this day is truly about.

Christmas is not advice on how to live better.
It’s an announcement that God has already acted.

Long before Luke 2, God promised a Rescuer—one who would step into a broken world, enter human history, and make a way back to Him.

Tomorrow, we celebrate that promise kept.

Whether you come joyful, skeptical, weary, or hopeful, there is room for you. You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out.

Tomorrow isn’t about doing more.
It’s about receiving good news.

See you on Christmas Day.
