God moved into your neighbourhood

Series: CLOSE

Date preached: 14th December 2025

TIDE Church is a diverse community of people on a mission to follow the teaching and life of Jesus. We are a Christian church based in Adelaide, Australia who are sharing the good news of Jesus with people everywhere.

Today’s message …

Whatever you think about God, if he’s real, you want to be close to him. For thousands of years God promises that in spite of the sin and brokenness of humanity, he’s coming close. And then, in the most unexpected way God shows up in a human baby born in Bethlehem. Today’s message encourages us to rethink what Christmas is all about and to take the hand that is reaching out to invite us to come CLOSE.
