What does it look like to experience peace in a season of waiting? In Week 2 of our Christmas series, The Wait Is Over, Christian Castro unpacks the story of Simeon in Luke 2 — a man who waited for the Messiah with deep trust, active faith, and clear eyes. His life shows us that peace isn’t passive… It’s something God grows in us as we walk with Him.

In this message, we’ll explore how peaceful waiting often looks:

Trust (Choosing to rely on God even when we can’t see the full story)

Active Faith (Stepping forward in obedience, even before the path is clear)

Eyes Open to God’s Presence (Letting Christ’s peace rule in our hearts)

Through Simeon’s example, we’ll learn how God meets us in our waiting, forms us through it, and fills us with a peace the world cannot give.

What does it look like to live with integrity in a season of waiting? Luke Crosby kicks off our Christmas series, The Wait is Over, unpacking how Joseph waited... with integrity. And it brought God lots of glory. In this message, we will unpack how we also can wait with integrity, and how that often looks like:

• Protection (Protecting those God has entrusted us with, instead of protecting our own reputation)

• Obedience (Obeying God even when others may not believe you, understand you or support you)

• Commitment (Commitment to God's will and God's plan, even when it's inconvenient, unpopular, or takes thoughtful planning and perseverance)

Through God's Word and the life of Joseph, we will learn how we can be people who wait well and wait with integrity.

What does it mean to live from the victory Jesus has already won for you? In Week 6 of Made For This, Grant Hedges closes out our series in Ephesians by reminding us that when we put our faith in Jesus, we already have victory. In Ephesians 6:10–18, Paul teaches that we don’t fight for victory — we stand in victory by putting on the armor of God and praying in the Spirit.

Because the enemy knows who you are in Christ. The question is: do you?

When you remember your identity, rely on Jesus’ strength, and put on His truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Word — you can stand firm in every battle.
