The season is filled with lights, wrapping paper, and carefully chosen gifts. Attention is drawn to what is under the tree and how much effort goes into giving the right thing to the right person. Yet beneath all the activity, it’s easy to miss the deeper question of what truly matters at Christmas.

In Matthew 2:1–11, the Magi travel far, bearing costly gifts for the child they recognize as King. Their journey reminds us that Christmas has always been about more than material offerings. This message explores the difference between giving gifts and offering ourselves, examining what it means to seek Jesus, bow before Him, and respond with lives shaped by worship, obedience, and devotion.

This Christmas, pause the pursuit of presents and come fully into His presence. Recorded December 21st, 2025 Message by Pastor Tim Ward Scripture: Luke 2:1-11

The weeks leading up to Christmas are often filled with noise; schedules packed tight, expectations running high, and traditions that sometimes feel more demanding than meaningful. In the midst of all the familiar songs and decorations, it’s easy for joy to fade into routine or get buried under stress and distraction.

Through Mary’s song of praise and the angelic announcement to the shepherds, this message traces where true Christmas joy is found and how it first entered the world. These moments reveal a joy rooted in God’s faithfulness, humility, and saving grace. Together, they invite us to rediscover a joy that grows from trust, gratitude, and wonder.

As the season of Advent begins, life often pulls people in a dozen directions at once. Families juggle expectations, work presses in, and even good traditions can crowd the heart. Yet in the middle of that pressure, Matthew tells a quiet story about a man named Joseph — a man suddenly facing shame, confusion, and a future he never planned.

Instead of reacting out of fear or frustration, Joseph chose faithfulness. He listened. He trusted. He obeyed. He took Mary as his wife and embraced the child she carried. Through Joseph’s example, we’ll consider how Advent invites us to slow down, notice the people God has placed around us, and treat each relationship as something entrusted rather than assumed. Valuing relationships often begins with quiet, steady obedience.

Join us this Advent season as we learn to guard what God has given, and choose relationships that reflect the heart of Christ.
