Tonight, we celebrate the wonder of Christ’s birth and the gospel of peace He came to bring. In God’s perfect timing, Jesus came to be our Savior, shining His light into every dark corner of our world. Now, as we prepare for the candlelight celebration, may our hearts be filled with the same hope, joy, and peace that first broke into the night on that very first Christmas.

Our behavior should not be a reaction to guilt, but a reflection of God’s incredible grace. When we renew our minds daily, focusing on His finished work, we align our actions with the truth of who He is and who we are in Him. Let the unveiled life you live be proof to the world of the grace and glory of Jesus Christ!

The unveiled life is one that fully embraces the freedom and righteousness found in Christ. The ministry of reconciliation is not about striving for God’s favor but living from His finished work, reflecting His grace to the world. Meditate on the truth of who you are in Christ, and let the reality of His Spirit within you guide every thought, word, and action.

Pastor Brandon and Abbe take a journey down memory lane, revisiting the moments that shape our story and build the foundation for who we are today. Through laughter, gratitude, and inspiration, we celebrate the vision that ignites our beginning and the resilience that sustains us along the way. As we look to the future, we embrace the great hope and expectation of the next decade, believing that the best is yet to come and that our journey together will continue to shine brighter than ever before.

Jesus removes the veil that blinds hearts, bringing liberty and peace with God through His finished work. The Spirit of Christ helps us in our weakness, revealing the depths of what God has prepared for us, even when words fail to describe it. As we draw near to God through Jesus, who forever intercedes on our behalf, we rest in the assurance that our salvation is complete, our peace is eternal, and our hope is alive.

The Glorious Light of the Gospel removes the veil that once blinded us, revealing righteousness as God’s gift through Jesus rather than through the works of the Law. Turning to Christ leads us from the role of servant to that of beloved child, fully embraced by God’s grace and freedom. Our mission is clear: to share this message of transformation and invite others to experience the peace and lasting freedom found in the Gospel.

In Christ, the veil is lifted, and we are invited to see God’s heart revealed in all its fullness. By focusing on the Gospel, we shift our hope from self-effort to the finished work of Jesus, revealing righteousness as God’s gracious gift to us. As we look to Him, we experience true freedom—a life empowered by His Spirit, free from the constraints of the law and overflowing with His glory.

Grace is a gift, not a reward—it’s the elevator that lifts us to the penthouse while the law keeps us stuck in the basement. Just as Hagar couldn’t see the well until her eyes were opened, the law blinds us from seeing the blessings that God has already provided. Let’s rest in the promise that we are no longer slaves under the old system but full-grown sons, heirs of God through Christ, living in the freedom of His grace!
