What if the space between Christmas and New Year is not something to rush past, but an invitation to slow down, breathe, and listen? In this online only service, Church on the Rock pauses the noise and the pressure to remind us why Christmas is still merry even when life feels complicated. The story of Jesus was never polished or easy. It was filled with obedience, disruption, loss, fear, and hope colliding in real human lives. And yet, right in the middle of all that tension, Jesus entered the world as the greatest gift we could ever receive. This message connects Christmas to Easter and reminds us that our hope is not rooted in circumstances, but in a Savior who conquered sin, death, and the grave.

As we stand on the edge of a new year, this message calls us into a posture of surrender and trust, praying like David, God teach me to do Your will and lead me forward. It challenges us to think differently about 2026 by leaning into spiritual rhythms, community, serving, generosity, and investing in the next generation. Whether you are tired, hopeful, uncertain, or ready for a fresh start, this service invites you to start the year with your yes on the table and your roots planted deep in God, believing that when our trust is in Him, we can flourish in every season.
