  • The Gift We Didn’t Know We Needed | Evergreen | Christmas Eve
    Dec 25 2025

    In this Christmas Eve sermon, Pastor Jason Smith reflects on the true gift God gives in Jesus—exactly what we need, not just what we want. Teaching from Isaiah 9:6–7, he unpacks the four titles of Christ: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Through vivid stories and relatable humor, he shows how Jesus guides us, fights for us, holds us, and brings peace even in life’s chaos. This message invites us to receive the gift of Christ personally, letting hope be born in us again this Christmas.

  • The Star and the King | Evergreen | Week 4
    Dec 23 2025

    In this sermon, Pastor Jason examines the Star of Bethlehem in Matthew 2, revealing how God speaks through creation to announce the birth of the true King. The story exposes the rival kings we trust—approval, success, security, and control—and contrasts King Herod’s resistance with the Magi’s surrender. This teaching invites us to dethrone the false kings in our lives and worship Jesus as the rightful King. Christmas confronts each of us with a choice: resist Him or receive Him.

  • Ornaments of Grace | Evergreen | Week 3
    Dec 15 2025

    In this sermon, “Ornaments of Grace,” Pastor Jason Smith explores Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew 1, showing how God’s family tree includes broken, unlikely, and undeserving people. Using the imagery of Christmas ornaments, he illustrates how God keeps His promises, redeems the broken, and restores the lost. This teaching points to Jesus as the promised King who enters our world to bring forgiveness, hope, and new life. Christmas reminds us that God comes close and invites us into His redeeming grace.
