Welcome to season five of The Secret Place, where Derek unpacks the Christmas story and highlights the beautiful carols that we hear at this time of year.

In this episode of The Secret Place, Derek reflects on the words of the carol, O Come All Ye Faithful. Through these words Derek explains that God's intent for sending Jesus was not to give us a ticket into heaven, but to reach us in our darkness and declare His desire for a relationship with us.
