Candlelight Service

This Christmas Eve message invites us to reflect on the true spirit of gift-giving, reminding us that God is the ultimate gift-giver. The central theme revolves around worship in the midst of life's messiness, drawing inspiration from Psalms 96:7-9. We're encouraged to 'worship in the beauty of holy mess,' acknowledging that our imperfect circumstances don't hinder genuine worship but rather provide an opportunity for it. This perspective echoes Mary and Joseph's experience, facing inconveniences and challenges while birthing the Savior. The message challenges us to ascribe glory and honor to God, especially when life feels chaotic. It's a powerful reminder that true worship is a heart function, not just an outward action. As we navigate our own 'holy messes,' we're called to choose worship, magnifying God above our circumstances and trusting Him with our lives without strings attached.
