  • The Messiah in the Manger | Rick Cornejo
    Christmas Message | Pastor Rick
    Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from December 21, 2025
    Christmas is the celebration of God keeping His promises: from Genesis 3:15’s first whisper of a serpent-crushing Savior, to God’s covenant with David (2 Samuel 7), to Isaiah’s virgin sign and stump-of-Jesse hope, to Micah’s surprising choice of little Bethlehem—all fulfilled in Jesus’ birth (Luke 2). In a world that feels chaotic, God has been signaling “He’s coming” for millennia, and when He arrived, He came humbly and accessibly—laid in a manger so anyone could draw near. Jesus’ resurrection crowned His birth with history-bending significance, turning promises into a Person who gives life abundantly and anchors our hope. God still keeps promises to provide, guide, comfort, and be with us; He doesn’t promise a life without hardship, but He does promise His faithful presence through it. The right response is the Magi’s: seek Him, worship Him, and offer Him your whole life. If you’re ready to close the gap, simply call on Jesus—salvation is a gift of grace received by faith. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, December 21, 2025

  • Matthew 2:1-12 | Ed Rea
    Matthew 2:1–12 reminds us that truly wise people keep seeking Jesus until they find Him, even when the path is long, surprising, or humble. The Magi likely came from Persia, guided first by Scripture (Daniel, Numbers 24:17) and then by a God-given “star” that behaved more like the Old Testament pillar of fire—personal, precise, and faithful. Herod’s fear contrasts with their worship; when they finally meet the Child—not in a palace but in a simple house—they fall down before Him and offer treasures that preach: gold for the King, frankincense for our Great High Priest, and myrrh for the Prophet who would suffer and save. God still leads seekers this way—through His Word, by His Spirit, to His Son—and obedience always ends in joy. - Ed Rea - Sunday, December 21, 2025

  • Genesis 25 | Pastor Greg
    “The New is in the Old contained; the Old is in the New explained”—showing one continuous story that flows to Jesus. In Genesis 25, Abraham remarries Keturah and has six more sons, but the covenant and main inheritance go to Isaac while Ishmael is still blessed; Abraham dies “gathered to his people,” reminding us of life beyond the grave. Isaac and Rebekah wait twenty years for children, which drives them to prayer; God answers with twins who “struggle” in the womb, and He declares the older will serve the younger—showing God can choose anyone for His purposes. Esau lives for the moment and trades his birthright for stew, while Jacob schemes to get what God had already purposed—both are deeply flawed, and yet God still works through them. The takeaway: God’s plan is steady across Scripture, His timing grows our faith, and He uses imperfect people to bring His salvation story to the world. Instead of asking, “Why me?” we ask, “Lord, what have You chosen me for?” - Greg Opean - Wednesday, December 17, 2025
