The sermon reminds us that the gift of Jesus Christ is freely given, offered in love, and meant to be embraced daily—not ignored, discarded, or forgotten—so that it may continue to give life now and for eternity.

This Christmas, may we stand in awe of the child in the manger—and like Mary, quietly reflect on what it means that God chose humility over power, presence over distance, and love over fear. True worship begins in wonder, but it is completed in ponder.

Psalm 100:4-5:

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name. For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever; his faithfulness, through all generations“.

The Bible describes love as a commitment to care for and serve others, and as the greatest commandment. The Bible teaches that love is not just a feeling, but a way of relating to others.
